Thorough and diligent
Awesome lawyer. Mr. Seifer got out in front of a very sticky situation and was able to work out a deal with the DAs office that i never even thought possible. Highly recommend using Mr. Seifer and SeiferFlatow for any legal needs you have.

Phenomenal Work!
Received a traffic citation and contacted SeiferFlatow in hopes of resolving the matter. The entire process was quick and easy, I submitted my information online, Adam gave me a call to review my case, he then gave me a break down on how the procedure would work as well as cost, finally I was process...

Poor Service and High Cost
I recently hired Adam and was disappointed by his poor service (slow communication, unfilled promises, misleading expectations) and extremely high cost.
Adam Seifer
Replied last February 27, 2018At SeiferFlatow we pride ourselves on our reputation and on doing absolutely everything in our power to benefit our clients. As demonstrated through our 190+ 5star reviews, we always strive to maintain clear, rapid communication, let you know exactly what you are getting for your services and what our expectations for your case are, and go above and beyond to deliver in and out of court for our clients. I take every review, both positive and negative, very personally and feel that this isn’t an accurate representation of the kind of service my firm delivers to its clients nor of the service we delivered to this specific reviewer. After my law firm partner took the reviewer's case to trial and had the judge actually pondering his decision for several minutes in one of the toughest counties on crime, the reviewer demanded his money back from me as the named partner on the grounds that he was found guilty and he stated that he could have gotten the same result for less money by simply pleading guilty from the get go with other attorneys. As he was told from Day 1, we could not guarantee a victory, only that we would fight like heck to prevail against the charges, which is exactly what he got. When I refused to refund his money and told him that he got exactly what he had bargained for and had contracted for from our legal team, he left this review as a personal attack against me, even though my partner was his lawyer and despite me never having appeared in court a single time on his behalf. He never voiced a single concern to anyone at our firm along the way until I refused to refund his money for representing him in court over the course of a year. If you are a prospective customer reading this review, please reach out to me personally if you have any questions or concerns, and I encourage you to read any other reviews to get a more accurate reflection of my legal abilities.

great all around firm
Great all around firm. Kept me in the loop, I didnt even have to appear in court and SeiferFlatow made my felony charges disappear quickly in district court without having to stress about going to Superior Court. Very fair on pricing as well. Charged me only for district court since Mr. Seifer was co...
