I wanted to write a note and to express my gratitude for the legal council Nicole Walker provided me. I came to the law firm after two lawyers did not deliver on what they said they would do and overcharged me. I was in extreme emotional distress. I provided Peter/Nicole with my story and a lot of information that I felt was important for the legal situation.You listened to my story, reviewed the information (actually read it), and delivered on exactly what I requested. You did not judge me and treated me with respect (unlike the other lawyer). You were gracious with all of my inquiries.I cannot believe that you were able to accomplish this legal issue! I have been trying since November of 2022. You did this in 1.5 months! This is beyond a miracle.The firm acted with integrity, knowledge, and perseverance.Again, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!

Disappointing Experience with Lack of CommunicationMy brother had high hopes when he reached out to this law firm, given their specialization in Second Amendment and gun rights issues. Unfortunately, his experience has been very frustrating. He has been denied his pistol permit three times by Westchester County and Despite multiple phone calls and emails, he has yet to receive a response back from his attorney/law firm on his now, third most recent denial for his pistol permit. Communication is key when dealing with legal matters, and it's disappointing when a firm promises to help but fails to follow through. He expected professionalism and timely updates, but instead, he was spoken to with such disrespect by his lawyer Robert M. Schechter and left in the dark. I would caution others to think twice before engaging with this firm if you're looking for reliable, responsive and respectful services.

I received a ticket and was informed that I will possibility have points taken off my license, but with the help of Cheryl and her team, she was able to get no points taken off and just for me to pay a fine, I would definitely recommend her , to get the job done.

Cindy Brown is an extremely professional Attorney, and nothing short of AMAZING! Cindy represented me well in a landlord/tenant dispute, and secured the best outcome for my case. Cindy is poised, knowledgeable, reliable, soft-spoken, and generous. Although I had many doubts throughout my case, and although it was an emotional rollercoaster, Cindy made me feel comfortable in knowing my case would be adequately fought for, and given the utmost attention, by being there to respond to every concern I had along the way. I have no doubt of Cindy's professional ability to handle any other case I may need legal representation for, and have adopted her as my Attorney for all future needs. Cindy delivers, and her service is unmatched!

Cindy Brown helped me with a family court matter and she was incredible! It was a very stressful situation that I was going through yet throughout it Cindy continuously put my mind at ease. Her combination of professionalism, high level of knowledge regarding the law, and friendliness really made for the best lawyer experience possible.

UPDATE: Got a call back from Peter Tilem apologizing on behalf of whoever originally answered and was extremely helpful in giving me the answers that I was seeking and was very professional!Called trying to speak to someone about a background issue I am dealing with. Whoever answered the phone wouldn't let me finish a sentence before cutting me off, had an EXTREME negative attitude and was extremely rude and unprofessional. I get better interactions with McDonalds drive through.

I highly recommend Attorney Cindy Brown of the TILEM & ASSOCIATES, P.CAttorney Cindy Brown is by far the best attorney for the job.

When I briefly explained my situation to Denine at Gold Shield Training Center, she responded by saying: "I know a good lawyer who can help you. His name is Robert" She provided me with Mr. Schechter's contact number. I made an appointment, and went to see Robert. Robert came to the conference's room, serenely, and listened to me professionally. As soon as I finished talking, Robert said: "We can definitively help you with that for your license to carry." I said to myself, "he can help? It will be easy?" Following that meeting, we started the process. The NYPD approved my case without any complication. Thanks to this firm. Nonetheless, the NYPD was taking about 4 months to mail the final purchase documents. I contacted Robert. In one day, He was able to schedule an appointment at 1 Police Plaza for me to go pick up the license in person.This law office has a LOT OF "POWER." They are very very very effective and professional. I will definitively recommend them to anyone who needs help.

I hired Tilem & Associates, PC law firm a couple of years ago after I was pulled over in NYC and given 3 tickets, which were worth 7 points total. Once I hired them, my headache completely went away, as they took over correspondence with the court and appearing on my behalf. Now, my tickets have been completely dismissed, and it's all due to Tilem & Associates' diligence on this case. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking legal assistance with traffic adjudication!
