Testimonials

Thank you so much for all of your help this past year. Honestly, we couldn't have done it without you. It meant the world to [client] and her son to be able to stay in their home. You made that possible and we will forever be grateful. You are a wonderful person.

I have Nassau Suffolk Law Services to thank for helping me through this difficult time. Without this free legal service in my community, seniors and other Long Island residents in need would not be able to afford an attorney to help them with their legal problems.

There are no words sufficient enough to convey the gratitude I have for you for your spending time at the foreclosure settlement conference with me and my sister today. I am beyond grateful to you. You are what all the professionals in the legal system need to aspire to be ...  Dedicated, sincere, and persistent on behalf of the people they represent. I pray that all of those you have represented in the past, and all who will have that privilege moving forward, will always tell you how much you have impacted their lives for the better.

Thank you for visiting our office and for being part of our Diversity and Inclusion event. Your passion and dedication is very admirable and inspiring.

I would like to convey my deepest thanks to you, Ms. Biller, and your fine organization for allowing Mr. A (pro bono attorney) to help me with my bankruptcy case…I just can’t seem to say enough good things about him. Ms. Rosemary, the secretary for the Volunteer Lawyers Project was very helpful and patient with me…Your organization is doing a great service for the Long Island community. As a disabled individual with lots of complex issues, I would not have been able to afford the quality of legal representation that was provided to me.

The Seniors Unit “illustrates the enormous good that can be done by a single professional determined to serve her clients, some of the most vulnerable members of the County…” “…to help your agency help other families who likewise might be in desperate circumstances and who need the legal advice and assistance of wonderful attorneys like Rose Caputo.

I have been remiss in sending my profound thanks for the wonderful training you gave us last Friday. You conveyed so much helpful information and helped us all to be better advocates for those we serve. All of our Core Workers able to attend expressed their gratitude – and felt it was a very good use of time. I have already this week used the knowledge I gained to help three different Participants! So, again, our thanks for a well-organized, comprehensive training session.

Thank you for representing me at my fair hearing with the NYS Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance…I appreciate your knowledge and dedication to my case.  I am very elated with the results of the fair hearing and know that without you I would not have had the chance to let my voice be heard. I hope that you and Nassau Suffolk Law Services Committee, Inc continue to support people in and around the community. Your services were very much appreciated and will be forever remembered.

Dear Cathy, you have made a major impact on this woman’s life.  She is holding her head up high.

Dear Mrs. Snow, Few things in life are as stressful as when a family member experiences a health crisis.  This, coupled with the challenges of dealing with insurance companies, can make the situation even more traumatic.  The past several years have been very difficult for my family as we wrestled with my husband’s health and insurance issues.  Your assistance changed everything.  Your knowledge of the medical and legal issues and the clarity and willingness with which you communicated it comforted us as we navigated the system. Equally important, you brought a great deal of humanity to the process.  Your kindness and compassion meant just as much to us as the legal counsel you provided.

Dear Ms. Collado, I just wanted to thank you for getting back to me so promptly. Thank you again all your efforts. People probably don't say that enough! Thank you so much for all your help. I really appreciated everything you did for me to help me keep my house. Thank you one more time.

Dear Mr. Ruff, I just want to say "thank you" for everything you did for my son. Without you, I was lost and could not have done any of this. You were a "godsend". You make everything so easy and understandable. Please have a very Happy Holiday. Thank you again!

Hi Ellen, We are all excited and I am so relieved that (my daughter, D.) will resume her program…We can't thank you enough for all you have done to enable D. to attend her daycare program.  From what I’ve heard, you have set a precedent in the Medicaid system. Heartfelt thanks. L & D.

A special thanks to Mrs. Pat Caruso, In a world often filled with ‘me, me, me,’ you were there with your unselfish heart… In a world that needs more humanitarians, you shine! I appreciate you. Thanks a bunch. Fondly, M.G.

Maria, on behalf of the Low Income Forum Committee, thank you again for presenting at the Forum on Energy.  We always receive positive feedback overall from your presentations. The information on legal advocacy is an invaluable resource to the low-income population on Long Island and your time and efforts were well appreciated…Sincere thanks and appreciation.

I reached out to Law Services on numerous occasions.  Your attorney was quick to pick up the phone, never rushed me, listened to all my concerns, and immediately returned phone calls when I was upset and in a panic mode.  She never put me off, was very patient, and facilitated the recovery of the medication fee that was improperly charged to my mother. Your attorney helped me all the way…She explained the NYS adult home regulations in detail to me. Because of her, I was empowered with the knowledge so that I could keep management at the facility on their toes! Being a Senior Citizen myself, I appreciated all the help she offered, and she seemed happy to do it.

My family and I greatly appreciate the high quality of service we have received from Luz Cartagena-Collado at Legal Services of Long Island. She is an outstanding paralegal. Her genuine personality, kind compassionate nature, and patience in helping to serve us has truly been very heartwarming for us. My family had been so overwhelmed, stressed, and anxious when we found out our house has been threatened by foreclosure by our mortgage company. Everywhere we looked, we found lawyers with super expensive rates, without knowing which one to trust best with your case. Legal Services of Long Island gave us hope, strength, relief, and optimism. In addition, Luz's compassion and altruistic nature means so much to us. She was very understanding and supportive. She really took the time to listen to our problem and answer any questions we had. She was very informative and helpful. She also referred our case to an excellent attorney, Mr. Chris Santoro, who has been a tremendous asset to my family. He is a true gentleman, very kind and patient, and explains everything in a very nice manner. We are highly satisfied with our experience and would highly recommend Legal Services of Long Island to anyone who needs help with legal services and is struggling on Long Island.

Dear Helen, I want to thank you for all your help with my four cases being successfully discontinued. I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done, had I not found you. Becoming disabled permanently with lupus has been a challenge on its own. Your expertise, keeping me informed, & gentle reminders to return required documents is greatly appreciated! Once again, thank you so very much!
