Hired Attorney Leslie Altus

She's an excellent lawyer because she's always very responsive and to the point. She provides timely and efficient service. I also like that she's a specialist in a number of areas that are important to our company, including transportation, air transportation, and leasing transactions.

Hired Attorney Elliot Moskowitz

Unfortunately there’s those who would do anything to be a professional and this I will not tolerate. There’s an Elliot Moskowitz 2 at same law firm and the younger prior running in Philadelphia with out realising a small city all know each other. I’ve watched this one both with a Columbia law degree which most find impressive however the most important information in hiring an attorney is that attorney Bar to practice in the said state. It’s overlooked and although a degree does not allow one to practice unless bar of the state which needs stricter regulations and data. Call the state bar or the attorney general if the state. I found the younger ran out of Philadelphia as he was impersonating a deceased attorney who was ran out. All professional licenses need to be constantly checked as it was done to a few atty friends. These charlatains thieve people, open a small office then close up. They also use news clips and go pro bono or work for legal aide. Careful as it’s heartbreaking

Hired Attorney David Zilberberg

Working with him as my former environmental attorney was incredibly frustrating. He mishandled key aspects of my case, failed to grasp critical regulatory details, and often left me in the dark with poor communication. His lack of follow-through and apparent misunderstanding of environmental law procedures caused unnecessary setbacks and undermined the integrity of my legal position. I cannot recommend his services to anyone in need of competent and reliable environmental legal representation.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
