I would leave 10 stars for Margo Sterling if google would let me!

Margo assisted me on the purchase of my first co op, she is knowledgeable,thorough, persistent, and always available when I needed to speak with her.

She made sure I was never left in the dark, and always followed up with all parties involved on my behalf.

Margo was recommended to me by a colleague, and for good reason! So glad that I had the pleasure to work with her.

Several weeks ago we received some documents belonging to my father-in-law's estate. Nothing had been stolen from our safe or our attorney's office. The sender acknowledged our documents were found in the curbside trash of a residence in Rye NY. Using Google, we confirmed the home owner is a lawyer affiliated with this firm. We also found out the only other way for our documents to be accessed was through a computer portal available to Westchester County based attorneys. My wife feels her family was violated. We will most probably seek an investigation by the local judiciary.

I recently received an envelope from this law firm. It was addressed to me and it contained a document pertaining to a client who was deceased. The firm had me mixed up with someone who must have the same name.

When I called, I was told to mail the document back. I did. I do not care I had to buy a stamp. The person I spoke to was quite rude. No "thanks" and no indication of appreciation.

I am glad I do not have this firm representing me. I would never trust any lawyers who cannot send beneficiary notices to the correct recipient.

Margo Sterling prepared our wills and was extremely helpful and great to work with. She has a wealth of knowledge and couldn't have made the process any easier! Definitely recommend.

My family and I have on multiple occasions used Bertine Hufnagel for various legal needs, including Will draftings and, most recently, a real estate transaction. The experiences have all gone smoothly, with attentive and component attorneys. The attorney handling my real estate transaction kept me apprised of all important dates, explained the contract provisions to me carefully, and was very thorough at the closing. I would highly recommend using this firm for wills, trusts and estate planning, as well as for any real estate transactions.

I highly recommend the Bertine Hufnagel and Headley firm. I have had them represent me twice over the years and their organization, professionalism, attention to detail, responsiveness and general friendliness made the experiences much easier. Real estate purchases, sales and closings can stressful, but when you have a great lawyer to support you, it really makes the process less difficult. I have and would recommend them to dear friends and family who are in need of legal services. I feel fortunate to have found such a wonderful firm.

I am very lucky to have found this firm; they were much more responsive, understanding, and expedient than the previous lawyer I worked with. It’s amazing to see the night and day difference between firms and I’m happy to review one that truly shines.

Before I came to Bertine & Hufnagel I was feeling like the victim of a system and backed into a corner. I knew I was in the right, though, and the lawyers here listened to my story, recommended a path of action, and within a very short time aggressively helped me recoup money from a construction situation gone wrong.

Excellent, efficient, responsive and effective firm. I was amazed at how quickly they were able to resolve my very complicated issue. They literally saved me $64K with very little stress or annoyance on my part. I wish all law firms were this good...at least the ones that represent the good guys ;) You can't go wrong hiring these lawyers.

I had excellent legal representation from beginning to end throughout my real estate transaction. Professional staff and sharp attorney - highly recommend this law firm!

This firm should be investigated, the senior partners disbarred and if convicted, given the maximum sentence. My parents were for many years clients of the former senior partner until he retired and moved to Maine. That is when the nightmares started for my mother. After dad died, the lawyer who took over at this firm was able to change mom's Will with a paragraph she was not aware of. Although my brother and I were equal beneficiaries with the original Will, the attorney managed to squeeze me out as it was apparent he only wanted one person to deal with. The M/O of the attorney was to prey on a dysfunctional family and to make the weaker link feel empowered as long he can control them. My father would never have signed off allowing this nor would he have approved of placing his real estate investments into a "Life Estate". All of this resulted in my brother as sole Executor exercising his new authority to have mom placed in assisted living and for she and I to be locked out of the house my parents called home for half a century. When my son had a life-threatening accident, neither my mother nor I were able to sell any of the real estate to help pay for hospital bills and post-surgical care due to the restrictions in the new Will initiated by the attorney. The entire nightmare caused much stress for my mother and resulted with a wedge being driven between two siblings who at one time were best friends. Our family has been broken no thanks because of what my mother determined was the actions of a selfish lawyer trying to increase his billings. I also went to the local District Attorneys Office and they were of no help. It seems these lawyers have their connections. In my experiences of dealing with different law firms, I have found most to be truthful and sensitive to the needs of their clients. I recall no one from this firm bothering to attend my father's funeral. And when my mother recently died, not even a note of condolence. I strongly believe what goes around comes around and each day I look forward to having justice served. That may be sooner than I expected. I recently read the obituary for that lawyer who caused my family so many problems.

Good riddance

I was appointed Executor of a family member's Estate. Bob was very helpful guiding me through the process.

Our family was also the recipient of malicious intent when financial documents pertaining to a deceased loved one were found in curbside trash. We traced it to a lawyer who resides at the location and who also works at this firm. We made several attempts to speak with this lawyer who never took or returned our calls. Any comment by their spokesperson offering to reach out is at best disingenuous. We look forward to providing a victim impact statement.
