Mr. Gregory Kirschenbaum assisted with a legal matter and was extremely knowledgeable, patient and understanding throughout the process. He was professional, consistent, and took the time to answer every question I had. I really felt as though he always had my best interest in mind. I didn't have to worry about any part of the case. His expertise, combined with the experience of Phillips & Associates, left me satisfied and I would highly recommend Mr. Kirschenbaum and his law firm for anyone. Rocco Capetola

I worked with Jesse Weinstein on my case and am so grateful to have had his legal guidance and support during this emotional time. From the very start, Jesse outlined everything very clearly for me and was extremely compassionate, communicative and helpful throughout the entire process. At any time I had a question or concern, Jesse was extremely responsive and always provided me with a thorough and in depth answer. I was also provided with any updates regarding my case on a regular basis. I cannot emphasize enough Jesse's outstanding work ethic. He is extremely patient, sincere, honest, and efficient in his work and while this was a stressful time for me, Jesse put me at ease. I cannot recommend him enough. It is clear that Jesse is a family man and is extremely passionate and knowledgeable about the work he does. He treats his clients with the utmost respect and professionalism. Thank you Jesse for everything! I highly recommend Jesse to anyone seeking legal counsel.

I feel so blessed to have found Greg Kirschenbaum at Phillips & Associates. Immediately, It was clear he knew the law and how to navigate the process while putting his clients ( me ) at ease. He is patient, kind, honest and thorough. This process can be scary and very upsetting at times and Greg was so understanding all the while continuing to fight for me. Nobody wants to be in a position to retain counsel but if you do, Greg is the lawyer I’d choose time and time again. I’m forever grateful.

Gregory W. Kirschenbaum, Esq. Arcé Law Group, PC 45 Broadway, Suite 430B New York, NY 10006 A professional team that helps to resolve any issues that life might throw at us. For example, Attorney Gregory W. Kirschenbaum and Attorney Mckenna were helpful in allowing me to express my situation about the matter that I was going through. In other words, they were open ears and allowed me to express my concerns and feeling’s. Furthermore, I recommend Gregory W. Kirschenbaum, Esq. to anyone who is experiencing any form of employment discrimination. Employment discrimination is unacceptable in New York State, and it is against the law. I would like to thank you Greg and Mckenna for all you guys did for me and my family. May God bless you both!!! Kind regards, Eugene A Pineres

I worked with Jesse Weinstein and I found him to be trustworthy, compassionate, and respectful. He managed the complexities of my case well, but above all held my well-being and my success as the highest priority. He answered my (constant) questions with patience and grace, while at the same time knows how to turn on the pressure when needed.

I worked with Greg Kirschenbaum on my case and could not have been happier with my experience. From the beginning, Greg was honest, knowledgeable, compassionate and answered all of my husband and I's questions. He was super clear about the process, expectations, and worked with me as a partner throughout my case. He was efficient in his communication and was lockstep with me along the way. Greg was the utmost professional and I cannot recommend him and Phillps & Associates highly enough.

One of the best experiences I have had working through a very delicate legal matter. Attorney Clark was amazing to work with and was extremely responsive. I appreciate all they did to make sure I was represented with a strong legal team that fought for a positive outcome.

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.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
