Recommendation For Lee Samuel Fainman

Lee Fainman has represented me in two cases, and I would not hesitate to recommend him. Lee is a consummate professional whose manner, attention to detail, and knowledge of the law are beyond reproach. Above all, however, he is a kind and caring person who ensures that his client is on board with t...he legal process at every step. I retained Lee to represent me in two separate cases two years apart. In each case, Lee spoke for me in a superior fashion. I could not have chosen a better legal spokesman. It was a relief knowing that I could relax and have my cases handled by someone with superior legal acumen. I would not hesitate to retain Lee again. As a trained paralegal with 20-plus years' experience in three major cities, I have worked with numerous attorneys. I feel somewhat qualified to make an assessment of an attorney's abilities and personality. Lee was superb in all areas of handling these cases. I am unable to find fault in any area. Lee's attention to detail and personal concern for me had him even calling me after business hours. He professional courtesy exceptional. I would not hesitate to recommend Lee Fainman to anyone, particularly in the area of Contract / Employment / Labor law.
