Working Now and Then

Charles was quick to respond to my inquiry and very helpful in our initial consultation. He added a crucial perspective that my other consultations missed. Recommend.

My experience with this firm was extremely disappointing and frustrating. I initially spoke with Mr. Maimon, who told me that I appeared to have claims worth pursuing. The very next day, I was referred to Mr. Rumack. Later, Mr. Joseph became involved, had a phone conversation with me, listened to the details of my case while Basya took notes, and then instructed me to continue speaking with Mr. Rumack. Throughout this process, I repeatedly explained my situation, provided information, answered questions, and waited for updates. By the time I finally received a definitive answer from Mr. Rumack, approximately a month and a half had passed. After all that time, I was told that the case was too small for the firm to pursue. My frustration is not that the firm declined representation, but that it took so long to reach that conclusion after multiple conversations with multiple people. If the case was ultimately considered too small, that determination could have been communicated much earlier, saving everyone time and effort. For ordinary people seeking justice, time matters. Not everyone has the resources to pay attorneys by the hour or wait weeks only to be told that their case is not financially worthwhile for a law firm. The experience left me feeling ignored, discouraged, and as though my concerns were not worth serious consideration. I expected better communication, better case screening, and greater respect for a potential client’s time. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. Shame on everyone involved for allowing this process to drag on for weeks without a straightforward answer!

I can’t believe that in 2025 I received such generous help and core guidance regarding my case for free. Mr. Joseph personally assisted me and addressed all of my questions directly, without involving his paralegal staff. He even referred me to another attorney to handle my case.

Thank you, Mr. Joseph. This kind Jewish attorney supported his Muslim brother in this world with sincerity and professionalism, without any charge. I even offered to pay him $100 for the 22 minutes of consultation he generously gave, but he refused.

Thank you again, Mr. Joseph. I truly regret that I will not have your representation in my case, and I will greatly miss it.
