Absolutely Terrible. Entitled and unprofessional, unethical and smug. Their website portrays them as a bastion of legal protection for those in need and vulnerable. Nothing could be farther from the truth. They actually denied a landlord tenant case where a tenant is being evicted by a landlord in retaliation to habitability complaints, and a supervisor here stated that it is against their policy to take landlord tenant matters that involve habitability issues. One of the primary reasons for the landlord tenant act is habitability and the illegal eviction of tenants who complain and report these issues. So because we have water leaking into our apartment and rotting our floors, and an elevator that does not function for a disabled person, they refuse to take the case. Independent of merit or evidence. I didn’t even argue. I simply asked why thy have that policy when it runs contrary to their supposed and stated mission. The supervisor became irate and said - he did not feel that he had to provide an explanation. I said I just wanted to understand why they would make such a policy. He is a supervisor their. This policy precludes them from helping the most vulnerable tenants being taken advantage of by landlords breaking the law. But apparently, answering why they have such a policy in place when so many landlord/tenant matters involve habitability issues, to a prospective client was not important to Gabriel Fox. He dismissed my question and hung up the phone. He ran away like the unprofessional and unethical lawyer that he is. Clients in situations like mine are the exact reasons this organization exists. We’re being legally bullied by our landlord. Never missed a rent payment in 30 years. He also stated that he would have been able to provide better legal advice if I were not recording the call. How creepy. As if there is some legal secret that he could not say on a recorded line. Calls are commonly recorded in professional settings. We were not discussing his personal matter. We were discussing mine and I keep recordings for my records. He was acting in a professional capacity. It is creepy that he would say that he could provide better assistance if not being recorded. This group should not be funded. They obviously exist to collect paychecks for themselves. We have evidence of every landlord/tenant violation including several ADA violations. And I must go to court without a lawyer because the apartment I live has not been maintained in decades and is falling apart which is the landlord’s responsibility. I am glad that I recorded that call. Proof that these people are not doing their stated duty. they claim they’re there to help people. Yet I informed them that I am disabled and require use of a powered wheelchair and can not even get in and out of my building due to a faulty elevator. Yet that kind of case does not meet their criteria. Yet they liked to repeat how they’re there to help people. Shameful. I will be following up with the bar association.
Barry Dayton was Awesome. Ethical , direct , and defended my case very well . Thank you . I’ll definitely recommend anyone to request Barry Dayton.
The receptionist,secretary over the phone and Esq. Elizabeth Hurley were great people to deal with when I was going thru a worried eviction day order. I always come to this office before I go to any lawyer which charges and many times don't give peace of mind. They are free in most cases. Just give them a try you won't regret.
It took me some time to write this review as every-time I started writing it I became overwhelmed. I am the Legal Guardian & Grandmother of a 9-year old w/special needs and as a result was having a difficult time in the Jersey City school district. After advocating for him and fighting to no end, my back was up against the wall as he kept getting suspended because they didn’t understand his disabilities. Earlier this year I heard about Northeast New Jersey Legal Services and went through their thorough acceptance process. Once approved, I was assigned to attorney Michelle A. Newton, Esq. whose specialty is Education & Benefits. Michelle & I met in person in the Jersey City office and a several times via phone to discus my grandsons background, needs and educational challenges with the district. After all facts were gathered she went to work. I had an open due process case against the district at the State level which she tackled first and successfully. Then she reviewed the districts proposed IEP, line by line-word for word, and pushed back on several items. She worked with me to propose educational additions and changes that were suited for my grandsons needs. She never let up. While everyone else was enjoying their summer, Michelle was working on behalf of me & my grandson to ensure when school resumed he would be set up for success. Now that school is in process, she checks in to see how he’s doing and reviews any new IEPs placed before me. I am literally crying as I write this because no one knows the struggles I’ve been through on behalf of my grandson. Michelle is a Godsend and it’s without a doubt there’s a star in heaven with her name on it. Thank you Northeast New Jersey Legal Services for employing the best of the best. Michelle I will forever hold dear what you’ve done for my grandson. Continue to walk tall in your purpose.
Are cooperative. Get the impression that they're kind of dragging thier feet. Will take it one day at a time.
They were very professional n keep me very calm n positive during the whole process. I recommend all. I filed for bankruptcy my case was handled via phone, John was very nice n explained everything in layman terms to me. I received my bankruptcy documents from thanks to John.
He Is Very Good At His Job an Excellent Person But he Is Here To Help The ppl When U Have A Chance Barry Dayton Is It I Wish I Could Pay Him A Million Dollars For What He Has Help Me With Thank U Again Barry Your The Best
Victoria was the best lawyer ever. After years of appealing my dad's disability decision, with her help we were able to get him approved. So grateful for her help!
We wound up with one of the most empathetic knowledgeable professional and helpful attorney you could ever ask for. Gabe Fox is the man! Went above and beyond the call of duty in this most difficult chapter of our lives he was on top of everything and we couldn't have asked for anything more!! Made us feel so comfortable and at ease that we actually feel like we have a new friend.
