DeFrancisco & Falgiatano Personal Injury Lawyers - East Syracuse (NY)

Edward Osiecki I have Vivian Roche for my workers comp case, she fought for me when no one else would. She is a good person with integrity and excellent attorney. Edit 9/11/24 I also want to add in her paralegal Tyler for always being helpful and explaining things so I can understand them. Keep up the good work!

Mary Jane Woodman This rating is really about the wonderful sentiments from my childhood. My Uncle was the late Richard S Woodman. While on our vacation we stopped by his office and had a lovely visit with the office.

Michael Slaughter The best law office in NY. The employees here are the best. They are polite, kind, courteous,knowledgeable, and compassionate. Everything is done at the highest level. Made my fathers passing much easier to deal with and gave me time to mourn. I cant say enough Great words about Coughlin & Gerhart. Ask for Nathan Kopp and his amazing Paralegals Paula and Toni! They will not disappoint you! Their services are worth every penny.

Jared Tarbox We need to stop re-electing career politicians. He will win because nobody will run against him. Time for a different tagline with younger bodies who represent diversity. Clinton County has long been a community of resilience, adaptability, and progress. Yet, in the realm of justice and leadership, we find ourselves stagnating under the weight of a District Attorney whose platform has grown tired and disconnected from the evolving needs of our residents. For too long, the current DA has relied on the notoriety of the 2015 #PrisonBreak incident to maintain relevance—a story that has been retold to the point of exhaustion. While that event was significant, our county’s present challenges demand attention that goes beyond past headlines. Crime is changing. The opioid crisis continues to take lives, violent crime requires a firm yet thoughtful approach, and systemic issues in our judicial system persist. Our county needs leadership that is proactive rather than reactive, and a justice system that serves and protects all citizens fairly. Let us be real—what has our District Attorneys office done to engage in the community short of putting the local drug bust in the paper and waving it away like a badge of honor? Community engagement should extend beyond self-congratulatory headlines; it should be about fostering trust, working alongside residents, and creating long-term solutions to the issues we face daily. The residents of Clinton County deserve a breath of fresh air—a District Attorney who is in touch with the community and understands the struggles we face daily. We need someone who is willing to address issues head-on, engage with the public, and work toward solutions that reflect modern realities. Instead, we find ourselves burdened by the same "Good Ole Boy" network that prioritizes political survival over real progress. Change is necessary. A new District Attorney could bring innovative policies, a fresh perspective, and a commitment to justice that prioritizes people over politics. The legal system should not be a revolving door for political legacies but rather a dynamic institution that evolves to meet the needs of its citizens. As election season approaches, Clinton County residents must ask themselves: Do we want to be a community bound by outdated leadership, or are we ready to embrace a future where justice is fair, balanced, and forward-thinking? The time for change is now. We must advocate for leadership that is committed to the present and future of Clinton County, not just the past. The people deserve better. The question is: Will we demand it? Are we as a community getting 200k (his yearly salary) worth of value from our present District Attorney?

Sal khan I’ve had the privilege of working with Michael Franzese on multiple legal matters over the years, and I can confidently say that their dedication, professionalism, and legal expertise are unmatched. From the start, they took the time to understand the complexities of each case, offering thoughtful guidance, clear communication, and a strategic approach that always kept my best interests at the forefront. What stands out most is their consistency. Whether the case was straightforward or highly complex, Franzese approached each situation with the same level of commitment, integrity, and attention to detail. Their courtroom presence is confident and commanding, and their ability to negotiate and advocate on my behalf has resulted in favorable outcomes time and time again. Beyond their legal skills, Franzese has been a trusted advisor—someone I could rely on not just for representation, but for honest advice and reassurance during stressful times. Their team is also incredibly responsive and professional, creating a seamless experience from start to finish. I highly recommend Michael Franzese to anyone seeking a dedicated, knowledgeable, and results-driven attorney. Their impact on my legal matters has been invaluable, and I am deeply grateful for their continued support -Waleed Khan Lodhi

Lisa C Friendly and professional.

Mike Severino Richard handled my divorce, and he was really great. He was professional, a great communicator and easy to talk to. He didn’t waste any time and is very knowledgeable and competent in his field of expertise. It was a little tricky because my spouse had moved out of the country, but Richard had no problem getting it done. I would definitely hire Richard Geller again, and recommend him to anyone who is in need of his services.

Wayne Baker Very friendly and professional. Felt like I was very important to them. Called monthly to check on my health and for updates on my case. Would highly recommend.
