Susie Sohn helped me in our Guardianship legal matter and was extraordinary. She applied her expertise and professionalism to successfully win our case, which was not an easy task. She is very well organized, detail oriented and highly motivated.

I've worked with Susie Sohn for many years on various business, personal, and real estate legal matters. Susie and her team have always been excellent and are a true pleasure to work with!

I’ve worked with a large number of legal firms particularly in NYC and could not recommend BSF&B more highly. When dealing with tricky cases you want lawyers that represent your best interests, have detailed experience of the case law at hand and don’t unnecessarily rack up large costs to their clients - Tad Barone does a fantastic job.

This is hands down the most disreputable, unprofessional, shady law firm that I have ever encountered in my life. Over a month ago I contacted them about handling my moms estate who passed away a few years ago without a will. My brothers mishandled the estate and I was trying to get it taken care of with the help of a lawyer given the complicated nature of the case. So every other day for over a month, their law clerk, Zachary Crosby (who also recently received his law degree) was going back and forth with me working the case to try and see where we are at before we get started. He gave me a quote as to how much it would be for their firm to represent me to close the estate but was unsure of the cost of potential litigation. At one point he suggested I pay them a one time fee of 750 dollars so he could get enough information for me to determine if moving forward was in my best interest. The entire time he kept pushing me to start the case so they could move forward, so I outlined a plan and said I wanted to reach out to my brothers first. I did and then came back to him to set up an initial consult and start the case and he said ok let me get back to you by the end of the day. I did not hear back from him for over 3 days, so I reach out again and he again ignored me. A few days later he responded back only after I emailed him and said I would call the office and talk to someone else. He tells me we are set up for the consultation next week with Megan Conroy and then tells me the next day, woops there was a miscommunication and Megan said they cant represent me. He never actually talked to a real lawyer at the firm about representing me and when he did they were not interested and his initial response was to ignore me and hope I would go away. He wasted 5 weeks of my time, tried to con me out of 750 bucks, disrespected the memory of my mother and completely ruined my case because now my brothers know what I am doing and they are going to block my attempts. Not to mention the fact that this is a difficult and depressing situation to deal with and now I have to do it all over again. I do not put this solely on the law clerk, I put this on the entire firm and especially the senior members because if nothing else they hired this shady, incompetent, mediocre individual and they are responsible not only for the behavior of their employees but also the training of their employees. I have worked with dozens of lawyers over the years on a multitude of different issues and I have never encountered anything like this. Welcome to the United States of Mediocrity. This is what happens when you lower the standards of education over and over again for decades. I will be reporting the firm to the attorney disciplinary committee as all the correspondences were done via email and I have all the emails and they had no right to mislead me and misrepresent their position. More importantly though, I wanted to leave a review and let people know to stay away from this firm. How bad a firm is this? They messed up my plans and ruined my case and did not even get paid for it. If they cannot handle their business and look out for their own interests, how competent do you think they are that they are going to be able to look out for yours? They do not care about you or your family, they are just a bunch of low level manipulative con artists. Think about that and save yourself the aggravation and go somewhere else.
