DMV Issue

Chad was very understanding and assisted me with the NYS DMV for an issue with my CDL. Had it not been for him, I could have lost my job because I need my CDL for it. Thank you so much!

Divorce & Family Court

Chad was excellent with my divorce and helping to explain everything along the way. After my divorce Chad helped me to obtain sole custody of my children and get granted what was best for them as well. I highly recommend Chad to anyone in divorce or family court.

Fast Speeding Ticket Reduction

I got a speeding ticket for going 20mph over the speed limit. Mr. Hammond took care of my ticket quickly and efficiently. He got it reduced to a $200 fine with no points on my license. Thank you.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
