Worst ever attorney

My simple recommendation is to find any attorney but not Ian S. Mednick. He has little knowledge about his filed , this is what I heard from his peers. He comes always late to court. He is very rude and impolite . He not only takes your retainer but also he will ask you to pay more and more, and ...if you are not able to pay he leaves you alone in middle of your case as he did in my divorce case, He just takes your retainer and prolong the process intentionally to get more. I would recommend to represent yourself in court if you have no option but not him.

Was very helpful

I called him to discuss a problem that I am having and not only did he help me, he was down to earth and shed light on the situation. Thank you so much.

True Professional

Ian was my third attorney and I cannot thank him enough. He is true professional, extremely knowledgeable, and always available when needed. Every thing he told me he would do, he did. This was one of the most difficult times in my life, especially after two terrible attorneys, and Mr. Mednick and h...is staff made the process easier while actually explaining all my options. I have and will continue to recommend his firm.

Family advice session

I think the attorney who called was knowledgeable and answered all my questions well. However I am not happy that he was from Suffolk County. That's over an hour away from me. If I were considering hiring him his travel fees alone would $1000 for each court appearance. I consider that ridiculous. I... would want to be contacted by an attorney within a 5 mile radius or less of where I live - NYC. I feel it's a waste of time and money to connect me with an attorney whose geographical location makes it unfeasible for me to hire him or her. I'm not just looking for an attorney to answer a question I'm also interviewing someone whom I may consider hiring if I like what they have to say. Additionally if I use the service again I'd like to have the option that I NOT be contacted by someone I've already spoken to or only be contacted by new people. I realize I can't choose who will contact me initially, but I would like to be able to choose whether I want be contacted by someone I've already paid to speak to or not.

Highly recommended...

After leaving another divorce company unsatisfied, I went with Ian Mednick who took over my case and saw it through personally. I am very satisfied with his guidance and work from preparing, filing to finalizing my divorce. He always responded to my emails and phone calls in a timely fashion by not o...nly replying to my questions but also keeping me abreast with updates on my case every step of the way. If you are looking for a divorce attorney, I will highly recommend Ian. He has a good understanding of family law here on Long Island and charges very reasonable rate. He is very approachable, Knowledgeable, comfortable and pleasant to work with.
