After experiencing some issues, I went on to seek professional assistance and discovered Phillips and Associates. I was provided with the help of an attorney named Gregory Kirschenbaum, who took on my case with professional excellence, after my free consultation. I willingly recommend Mr. Kirschenbaum to anyone who needs help.

I consulted Greg Kirschenbaum regarding a legal matter. He was professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful. Highly recommend Greg if you need assistance!

I highly recommend both Greg Kirschenbaum and Kelsey Tubman. They approach their work with empathy and kindness, which is very much appreciated when dealing with difficult or sensitive matters. Communication and transparency in the process is well established. And, most importantly, they really helped me with my situation!

It was SUCH A Pleasure having Mr. Gregory Kirschenbaum as my Attorney. Throughout the entire process, Mr. Kirschenbaum was responsive and quick with all of my inquiries, although I didn't understand a lot of what was going on he took his time with me to explain every step of the process. No Gimmicks, No Problems, and No Concerns....This is the Law firm you want to go to Hand Down!!! CB

Greg Kirschenbaum helped me out when I needed his legal services. He was professional, timely and thoughtful in the services he provided. I highly recommend Greg to anyone looking for employment-related legal services in New York, New Jersey or Florida.

Stefanie Shmil represented me in a matter. She was so professional and a great lawyer. She always communicated with me and kept me in the loop. I highly recommend her as well as Phillips and Phillips

Gregory Kirschenbaum was a very helpful and proactive attorney. I found my engagement with him to be well managed, well thought out, and I appreciated the level of attention and time he took to explain options and how the legal process works. I was in good hands with Greg and my trust in his abilities was only further reinforced the more we engaged each other.

I simply don't have enough word to express my self in this review. I had an amazing opportunity to work with Dorina Cela in the past year and a half. Most professional, caring and fearless person I have ever meet. She was available to me at all times, endless hours working on the case, attention to details!! It was very emotional process for me but I never felt alone or powerless. I can now be at peace knowing that it's all over and it because of Ms. Cela. The Phillips & Associates is the most respected law firm who cares for their clients!! Forever grateful! THNAK YOU!!

Stefanie Shmil is hands down one of the best lawyers out there. She is very responsive, works hard for you, explains very clearly every step of the way, and makes sure you get what you are deserved. I have worked with lawyers in the past who never answered, rushed you off the phone, and just made you feel like you are a burden to them. Not with Stefanie; it is the complete opposite. If you want caring, compassionate, and professional. I suggest only using her.

Hand down this is one of the best law firm in NYC working with Jetish and Steven Fingerhut was one of the most unforgettable experience I ever had . They were very professional they keep me up to date return my calls and e-mails they genuinely fought for me thank you so much guys it was a pleasure working with you .

Searching for a great lawyer to defend your voice and give you a right to speak call, Mr. Gregory Kirschenbaum at Phillips and Associates. He is the lawyer to call and I recommend him.

Steve Fingerhut did an outstanding job, from start to finish. He worked tirelessly on my case, and demonstrated extraordinary knowledge of the details of employment law! He was such an upbeat, pleasant person to deal with, and so honest and realistic. I knew without a DOUBT he was really advocating for me with my case. I filed a lawsuit against a large health care system because they violated my PFL rights and Steve was with me all the way. A 2 year plus journey and it was worth every second! He won the case and knows his stuff. Steven Fingerhut is a powerhouse attorney and an honest Blessing!

Don?t hesitate to reach out to this firm. They chose their partners well and have a dedicated staff of awesome paralegals to answer a lot of questions up front. But Steven Fingerhut is one of the most compassionate, empathetic, genuinely understanding and intelligent individuals I?ve ever met. Because of this his negotiation skills are that of your own, in passion as a client in a terrible situation, but with the knowledge and experience to be able to legally back it up. Stefanie is another partner who matches Steven?s compassion, care, and understanding.

recently engaged Mr. Gregory Kirschenbaum to help with a situation. He handled everything quickly and satisfactorily. I would recommend him and his firm.

I am absolutely delighted to give feedback to Phillips & Associates. Steven Fingerhut was such a pleasure to work with. Extremely responsive, compassionate and accommodating. I've consulted with several other employment law firms before reaching out to Phillips & Associates. No one came close. I felt so confident in the results after speaking with Steven. My anxiety over situation was completely relieved after the first conversation with him. My involvement in the matter was minimal, and the results exceeded my expectations. In a matter of 2 months my request was settled and finalized. Hassle free and stress free, which was a big deal given my condition. So a huge THANK YOU goes out to Steven and his team, and I will be happy to recommend Phillips & Associates to anyone looking for a top labor law attorney.

I am extremely grateful for the help I received from Phillips & Associates Attorneys at Law. I worked with Gregory Kirschenbaum and his team for over 9 months and can say that Greg was professional, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable. I felt at ease working with this team of attorneys; they explained everything in detail and made a tough process comfortable for me. I am very happy with the help they provided and thanks to Phillips & Associates.

I was informed and explained every aspect of my complaint through the entire process..With great confidence I was thankful and Blessed to have chosen this fantastic law firm!

Unfortunately, I found myself in an unexpected legal situation with my employer and needed help quickly. After speaking with several other attorneys, Greg Calliste at Phillips & Associates was recommended to me by a friend of a friend. Greg and his team walked me through the process, and thoroughly reviewed all agreements. He always had time to discuss issues as they came up. He pointed out inconsistencies within the proposed agreements and helped negotiate more favorable terms. I always felt Greg had my back. I would 100% highly recommend this firm (Greg in particular) and would give him 100 stars.

Really seamless experience. There are so many things one has to worry about when going through a situation. It was an amazing relief to have Greg Kirschenbaum at P&A help me and know he and his team were doing everything they could for me.

Phillips and Associates specifically Stefanie Shmil took on my case and supported me throughout the whole process. Stefanie was quick to respond, explained things in detail, and fought for my case. I truly felt supported and like she had my best interest at heart. We won the case and I could not be happier. She went above and beyond and I would recommend her to anyone looking!

When you are in financial distress and physical, mental, and emotional pain it is difficult to think clearly and make good decisions. That, in addition to not understanding a legal process, complicates matters even more. Joshua explained the law and outlined in clear language the steps in the process that needed to be done. He was reassuring, articulate, knowable, and effective. Joshua Friedman made the process so much easier and gave me peace of mind in a stressful but successful outcome. Selecting Joshua Friedman to take the process further was one of the "Best" decision!!!

I can't recommend Michelle A. Caiola highly enough. Michelle was professional, empathetic, highly communicative and understanding of the position I was in. Michelle and her team (from intake through to settlement) listened to me and then advocated for me consistently during a highly stressful time. Each time I received an email or call from Michelle I was reassured and made to feel empowered and comfortable. I feel for anyone in a position to require a lawyer and if you couldn't ask for better support than Michelle.

Honestly, Greg is the best! I genuinely cannot express just how satisfied I am with his assistance. He is very responsive, informative and competent, and discussed and answered all of my concerns. He was incredibly patient with my questions, courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. I'm truly thankful for his help and appreciate all the work he does, and I highly recommend his practice to anyone!

I am so grateful for the legal services Gregory Kirschenbaum has provided me. I am a new mother and needed his help shortly after my baby was born. The situation was not ideal to say the least. I discovered Phillips and Associates from a similar situation I read about on their website. I knew I needed some type of legal help but had no idea where to begin. I called and was referred to Greg who has been such a blessing to my family and I. He was extremely professional, compassionate, and made sure to connect with me on a personal level (about our kids) at any chance that he could. He made me feel comfortable. At times I was frustrated, but he always remained confident that he could help me get to the right outcome of this horrible situation- and that he did. He was very thorough and walked me through the process every step of the way; he made it very simple. He was always just a phone call away for any questions that I had. I would 100% recommend him over and over again to anyone I feel needs his services in the future. Many thanks from my family and I!

The Philips and Associates Law Firm is a group of people that I know I can always rely on. I have worked with other firms and they will either jerk you around or ignore you when you have questions. There was never a time I was unable to reach Gregory Calliste Jr. or Yusha Hiraman when I had questions. Assistance during the case was outstanding, I felt I always had someone on my side and I could always have my concerns resolved. This was the case before, during and and even after my matter was resolved when I was no longer a client and needed advice. When you work with this firm it's a relationship. I was very lucky to find them. I'm happy with the results and continue to be happy that I was able to find this firm. Thank you for everything Yusha and Greg..

Greg K helped me get through a tough time and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs help!

I explained my entire situation to him and he was competent and empathetic to my situation, providing immediate release to my anxiety. After he spoke with Mr. Calliste, they had a very clear and quick plan of action which ultimately ended in the success of my case. They even went the extra mile to assist me with a time-sensitive question I had on the weekend and responded to my emails and phone calls within 30 minutes.

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.

Not only was he able to help me with my situation, his calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional security to my wife and myself when we needed it the most. My wife and I are eternally grateful for his services and I hereby highly recommend Mr. Kirschenbaum without reservation!

Having Greg Calliste on my team, when I was in a corner and pretty much hit rock bottom was a complete blessing. Greg was my coach, my rock, and most importantly, my ultimate advocate.

I was in need of an attorney because a previous employer was making me work without pay during COVID-19 and threatened future retaliation if I did not comply. My dear friend recommended Jesse?s firm and after reading all the amazing reviews I knew these were the people who could help me get out of this situation. Jesse Weinstein and his team went right to work and guided me every step of the way. They set realistic expectations and always told me truth even if was not exactly what I wanted to hear. In the end, I found the team to be extremely professional, determined, intelligent and kind. If you are looking for someone that is absolutely on your side, then please do not look any further, reach out to Jesse. I am forever grateful for their assistance during a very difficult time.

A special compliment to my lawyer Brittany Stevens.. An amazing person and well prepared experienced lawyer. She was professional and empathetic to my case and worked in a time appropriate manner.

Greetings, My name is Pilar Taylor. 2 years ago, my hand was forced to seek legal justice. Due to the reckless as well as humiliating discriminitory injustices that I was enduring. at the hands of my employer, 8 legal firms passed on defending my case. Once their firm became aware of the entity that is responsible for the injustice against me, I felt their confidence level recede. All 8 firms wished me good luck and declined to defend me Against Goliath, as one firm referred to the entity whom was my employer. Phillip's & Associates took on my case, with no hesitation. It was a defining point for me. My anger had me contemplating vengeance over justice. Brittany Steven's embraced my pain like we were family instantaneously. Without hesitation the team at Phillips & Associates showed me what real legal support looks like. Yusha Hiraman talked me off the ledge. As kevin G, always checks on me. He keeps me abreast of every stage and status , in regards to legal protacol. I advised as well as encourage any and all victims in search of justice to consult with the team at Phillip's & Associates. They are fearless in their quest to get victims justice. This firm makes you feel victorious. Their concern for my lively hood and mental health is emotionally humbling. The whole legal team from Anna in reception, to mr. William Phillip's are well groomed. Talk as well as walk with confidence.Their confidence and professionalism will have to feeling like a cast member on Law & Order.. Only difference is it's real justice

I decided to start searching for professional help after dealing with many sleepless nights due to a workplace matter. Soon after discarding some options based on how complex they were even to request a consultation, that?s when, based on their name plus online reviews, I instantly decided to overcome my fears and request a consultation to have my case analyzed at Phillip & Associates. From the very first click everything was easy and simple I received the confidence I needed. I meet Gregory W. Kirschenbaum who took my case, he is just best and his team. Gregory Kirschenbaum understood my situation and work history always very professional. He was always available immediately to answer every question or concern via email or phone. The communication between the attorneys and client are incredible. I couldn?t have been happier with their service. Which gave me a lot of confidence. I can?t thank Greg enough.

My experience with this firm was incredible, the whole staff of professional lawyers helped me with my situation. Gregory Kirschenbaum and his team were dedicated and made me feel comfortable from the start. I?m very pleased with the final result and I recommend Greg.

I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for Gregory Kirschenbaum?s exceptional assistance. His expertise, dedication, and unwavering commitment played a pivotal role in the outcome of my situation. From the moment we first met, I was impressed by Greg?s professionalism and genuine concern for my well-being. His thorough understanding of my legal complexities provided me with a sense of confidence and reassurance during what was undoubtedly a challenging time for me and my family. I am profoundly grateful for Greg?s guidance and support every step of the way. I wholeheartedly recommend Greg to anyone in need of legal representation, as his expertise and integrity are truly exceptional.

Steven, Zach and Stefanie were an AMAZING support team! They explained each step of the case and what all the legal terminology meant. They all were very patient and confident with takin on my case and leading it towards the successful direction of settlement!!

As a CEO who deals with attorneys on a daily basis, I feel qualified to make the following recommendation. STAY AWAY from Phillips & Associates. My attorney Steven Fingerhut all but laid down for opposing council. I had a VERY strong case against an employer with a billion dollar endowment. My work was exemplary and highly reviewed. My employer not only abused time and hour wages against myself and others, but was discriminatory in handling my employment and concealed their termination of my contract without cause, due to my race, sex and politics. These were documented and instead of digging into the case, Mr. Fingerhut folded like a sheet the minute opposing legal council responded. To date, I have never seen a hired attorney fail to push back and actually beg their client to "move on" and "put this behind you." This was solely based on time and expense calculations of the firm and failure to get into a messy legal battle with one of New York's largest employers. To add insult to injury, Mr. Fingerhut was not even able to secure a tiny settlement that was paid as a 1099 (which is customary) and instead allowed the opposing party to once again pay the pittance of a settlement that was offered as a bonus of wages. Completely uncustomary for the industry and increased the already poor payout that was offered as a "nuisance payment." Again Mr. Fingerhut recommended that I "move on" and failed to fight for the wrong that was obviously being done. Of course his firm collected their share. In short, this firm is unable to fight for their claimants, use any creative means or investigatory leverage to secure and help their clients, in my experience. This left me feeling completely abused and harmed not only by a despotic employer, but by an impotent firm that took my case with fervor, than sputtered to a dismal halt. If you have a serious case regarding discrimination, look elsewhere and find a firm that will back you up, investigate the matter deeply, and take it to the finish line. Learn from my mistake.
