Awesome, amazing, compassionate

I worked with Ms. Victoria Brunner on my divorce and she was amazing. She was more concerned with me being happy and not exhausting all my resources on a lengthy process. She gave great advice and stay on top of every aspect of my proceedings. My ex was being shady and had filed some forms without me... knowing but Ms. Victoria and Ms. Rachel dug right in and found everything that was filed and got me caught up to speed quickly. I like that she stuck to the facts and help me keep my emotions out of the decisions that I made. Excellent lawyer! Would work with her again and again. This has nothing to do with her but please work on a payment plan.

Quick and Efficient

I retained Esther as my divorce attorney after setting up a consultation through CLC. During our consultation, Esther provided great information and put me at ease regarding the entire process. After retaining Esther, I communicated more frequently with Rachel who was extremely understanding when it ...came to communicating around my difficult work schedule. Rachel was always efficient and kept me informed the entire process. My divorce was finalized quicker than I thought it would be, and Esther and Rachel worked under my ratainer budget. I am extremely appreciative of all their hard work and would definitely recommend their services to anyone looking for a trustworthy laywer.

Will retain anytime I need a legal Rep.

I have retained Esther on two different occasions, both in which she assisted in a civil case. Esther made me feel very comfortable and at ease throughout the process as I was very nervous (for my first time). It wasa nobrainer who to contact when I needed representation for a second time and I recei...ved the same prompt and accurate answers as before. Rachael and Monica are an amazing team working alongside Esther to help expedite paperwork and any questions I had they were always there to answer them via phone or email. She is flexible with payments and was understanding to my financial status and I was never pressured if I could not make a payment. I truly would recommend Esther and her team to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy and overall spirit who truly cares about you and the best interest of your case.

Hourly Rate Ridiculous

They treat there CLC benefits customers like trash, after I missed my first appointment consultation due to being in a dead zone during the phone call, I was refused a second consultation. Emailed for months before I got a response stating that they had a hourly rate of $450/hr with a 10 hr retainer ...fee. Definitely not working for the middle class.

Highly Incompetent Lawyer

I retained Esther Panitch for a simple First Offender case as a result of a bad car accident. I decided to go with her based on recommendations. Just like the other reviews, she doesnt respond to phone calls, doesnt have a clue about the cases and mixes the details up most times, and one instance, sh...e failed to show up in court for my hearing. It was so bad I decided to retain the services of a new lawyer. Ofcourse I never got my money back even though she had been fully paid and the case was clearly unresolved. Once the new lawyer was retained things moved along quicker and ultimately the case was resolved with minimal effort. Today (2 years later) the case has been closed and I have received an order of discharge for my case. I would not recommend her to anyone because she did not act in my interest, did not show any empathy for me and took a very unprofessional and laid back approach to my case.

Replied last November 09, 2015

Dear anonymous reviewer, I do not know who you are but can say I have never had a client with a First Offender "bad accident." The closest I ever came was when a client lied to me about the facts of the case and continued to lie even though she admitted lying the first time. I fired that client years ago. I pride myself on having close relationships with my clients which is why I don't believe you were actually a client of mine at any time. Moreover, I have NEVER (in almost 20 years of practice) simply not showed up for court. It is possible that I had a legal conflict (i.e. another case at the same time with a higher legal priority than yours, according to the Uniform Rules of Superior Court) and the court and you would have been made aware far in advance that the case would have been reset or I would have had another attorney cover for me until I could appear.
