Worth it

The appointment/scheduling person, Beth (lovely) helped me make an appointment with Jay, who is the partner in the firm who handles student loan lawsuits (private/public). David handles bankruptcy. Forget how I exactly came across their firms' number. My phone call with Jay on January 24, 2017 co...st $150 and it was totally worth it. He was generous with his time, detailed in his explanations and good about taking me through the "narrative/timeline" of the various stages of the lawsuit, telling me the different options that'd be avaiable to me along the way. He asked questions, wasn't offended or impatient when I asked him questions, and had a sense of humor, too - which is appreciated when handling matters that can be daunting. I've hired him and will be moving forward with him as counsel, so we will see what happens next. But I have a good feeling about it and so far, so good.

"I endorse this lawyer. As I started my practice 4 years ago, I started reading Attorney Fleischman's numerous internet articles about how to build a practice and give quality service to clients. I admire his high standards and practical advice to attorneys who want to give excellent service. His descriptions of how he started his New York, NY bankruptcy practice in a very competitive fishbowl convinced me I could do the same in my little town."

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.
