Extremely professional, communicated and understood how to help me.

Mr. Kassman has been extremely professional from the very beginning. From the moment I contacted him on the weekend he spoke with me in detail and explained the process of what was needed. He took his time on the phone and let me know i could call anytime I needed to. Weekend , evening, daytime, a...nytime. He also communicated through email and I was able to sign any documents to hire him from my computer. I was also able to make payments easy by paying on line. I never had to run into his office and go out of my way. I am so happy that he has helped me resolve my issue. Even more happy that he listened and understood what I needed to have done and fought for me in court. Mr. Kassman has been very helpful, compassionate and resourceful. He is extremely knowledgable and very confident. I found his confidence very helpful in a stressful situation. I am so thankful that he made me feel that I was in good hands and I certainly was. Mr. Kassman's secretary kept in touch even if it was just to let me know he would be calling me later that day. Very professional and trustworthy law firm. I would recommend to anyone Who needs help. He worked on my case fast and resolved it quickly. Thank you so much for helping me when I really needed it.

Everything I needed and more

I had called Shawn to help me with about 5 different and OLD traffic tickets in my abstract. I no linger live in NY and these tickets went back as far as 2001 Not only did he pull my drivers abstract during the initial call, he explained his entire opinion on what he could do immediately afterwar...ds. After agreeing to pa his fees, he went ahead, within TWO days total and performed exactly as he said he would. I never had to leave my home state and he certainly did a better job then if I went on my own. Of all the things in life to accomplish, using Shawn for tickets over 1000 miles away was a no-brainer. I could only imagine how well it would be in person! Thanks for everything

REVIEW

Our consultation was 35 minutes. We were interested in evicting a problem tenant. He demanded cash as payment. We went from his office to subway for lunch during which time our tenant agreed to our terms. We were back in his office in less than two hours for a refund and that's when the fun started. ...He first said he would keep 100, we reminded him of the free consultation then he switched and said he'll give us back 150. He then said to leave and come back tomorrow and proceeded to call the cops. We worked with the police to recover 250 of our stolen money. Shawn did not render any service other than having his secretary print out one form. Bottom line. Steer away...

Additionally this person is not even using their real name that posted this absurd remark. He should be ashamed of himself the way that he acted. This individual additionally signed an agreement stating that the work was fully completed and there was no wrongdoing on my behalf and if I incurred any additional time from this individual that he would have to pay me $1000 which I may pursue because I was willing to let it go and did give him a refund even though he did not deserve it.

The best lawyer by far!!!!

I had a traffic case, no lawyer in L.I. could resolve, Shawn Kassman not only took on my case he got it resolved and i didn't go to court. I live out of the state of N.Y. Shawn and his team handled my traffic case, kept me informed along the way and was very honest about every thing up front! This is... the top lawyer in long island "MR. getter done!" forever greatfull, if you have a case go see shawn kassman.
