COMPASSION BEYOND MEASURE

SHAWN KASSMAN IS A CARING, SENSITIVE AND COMPASSIONATE LAWYER. GETS THE JOB DONE AND I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM. HE IS VERY KNOWLEDGABLE OF THE LAW AND EXTREMELY DEPENDABLE; YOU'RE IN GOOD HANDS WITH SHAWN.

Saved my life!

I had the good fortune to engage Mr. Kassman to represent me. Please be assured that Mr. Kassman is professional, honest, expert and compassionate. I found his fee to be reasonable. Although I was very anxious about the outcome of my case, Mr. Kassman was very accurate predicting a positive result... for me. Mr. Kassman also has a great group of people working for him and always found them to be very helpful and responsive. I will always be in Mr. Kassman's debt for helping me through a personal crisis. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

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.

I hired Mr. Kassman without knowing him other than being close the Suffolk County Court, as it turns out he was the best find ever, my criminal case was dismissed and my life was a new one, then I chose him to represent me in my divorce preceeding and he came through again, don't be surprised about h...is appearance, hell he is more effective in a sitting position than the others standing, his wit and charm as well as his knowledge of the law makes a perfect combination to fight anyone's battle, rest a sure, he will win for you no matter what the case maybe, thanks Shawn, you a 10 in my book and I recommend you to anyone that needs a trustworthy Lawyer.
