Wolf, Rifkin, Shapiro, Schulman & Rabkin, LLP

I have worked with Wolf, Rifkin for over 20 years. There are a top notch law firm, knowledgeable, and reliable. Their fees are not the lowest, but they are reasonable, and this is one area where I don't believe it's wise to save money. Thank you for all you do!

horrible communication, over priced. This was mostly paralegal work. Just arecording with the city. they charge even for a phone call with receptionist Dropping off papers to the front desk - it a problem with them. Answering email to clarify-they charge. If you ask questions via emails- its to much questions and you are the problem. I was drawing my own blue print, Since it was not good i was trying to get answers to what kind of hand drawings are excepted, we found out that they had the blue prints ( city did not have it). They could have charged me for the blueprint. So that i did not have to email or make phone calls. They sent two bills, one lawyer feex5 more than what contract ( if I knew I woud of asked some other lawyer to do this work- though they had a blue print- which we did not know originaly)first bill was 5 times more then on papers.they charge me for leaving a voicemail ... thier explanation was they made a mistake on the paper. I signed the papers originally for them to do the work. And their one of the excuses was i was rude and rushed them. There was no explanation what so ever that everthing had a charge, Since i complained about the bill after work was done, they tried to be sneaky and sent the bill to HOA, saying they work only with HOA. Why did they make me sign papers then? The second bill, they still tried to charge additional fees. So everyone knows that usually due to complications, we pay more than what it is expected but not 6 times more than the contract indicates. They just made a mistake on the pricing and somehow wanted to make it up for it - they told the HOA.

I've had the pleasure of knowing and working with Michael Rabkin since 2007 and continue to work with with him today. He is always level headed, available and provides direct and honest opinions to keep his clients out of legal trouble. At times you may hear the opposite of what you'd like, but that is what separates Michael from the others. He always provides his clear legal opinion and not the one he thinks you are looking for and all within very reasonable billable hours for his time . In today's world this is rare and more valuable than ever. If you are looking for HOA representation there is simply no one better.
