I feel blessed that somehow your firm in my life crossed because the result is the quality of my mother’s life in respect to current and future needs is secure … she is getting her baby grand piano so that she can play again. (G-d forbid she should splurge and get a new one, but that's my mother.) She always lived above her means when she didn't have much and now that she can splurge with a personal pleasure she's frugal Go figure. Anyway thanks for always making me laugh chuckle and have hope when things were dark. By: Michelle M.

Dear Martin, Ira and Richard, thank you so much for working so hard on my case for so many years. My life changed 10 years ago when this occurred. I'm glad this chapter of my life has closed. I appreciate you settling my case) I have some financial security now. Especially, not working and collecting unemployment. This money will help. My health has been so compromised and after my surgeries it's been difficult to get back on my feet. The three of you are in my prayers and thoughts with much gratitude. By: Susan E

To the Queens County Bar Association

I wish to thank you for your referral this past September to the firm of Pearlman, Apat & Futterman, specifically Mr. Richard Apat. I requested the referral because I had just been sued by a neighbor and needed guidance on how to proceed. After a fruitless search of various agencies and organizations I finally located your referral service. After briefly describing my situation to the person answering the phone, I was referred to the above firm. Mr. Apat is generous with his time in advice even before he decided to retain his services. I soon realized Mr. Apat was more than capable of undertaking my case. Although my case was a difficult one, Mr. Apat made me realize that everyone is entitled to protection of the law. Mr. Apat's efforts have resulted in a quick and favorable resolution, barely 2 months after he retained his services. Mr. Apat has proven to be knowledgeable, competent and thoroughly professional at all times. I would not hesitate to seek his services again and highly recommend him. I urge the Bar Association to continue to refer his services. By: Margareta G

A quick word of thanks for the job that Richard Apat did for me on the [R___ v. R____] case. Richard demonstrated the finest qualities one might find in an advocate, commitment, insight, passion, communication and teamwork. Richard devoted an immense amount of effort to my case and was clearly unsatisfied with partial answers. This was a complicated case in which we faced a determined adversary, and Richard always responded to the challenge. In sum, Richard can about my case in a way few lawyers would be understood all the nuances and issues because he was living it with me, every step of the way. Your entire team also deserves credit for the support they provided. I appreciate the strategic direction you and Martin helped provide. Gil's efforts and those of the staff, Gene, Jeanette, and Dan, also went above and beyond the call. I feel like the entire Pearlman, Apat & Futterman team came together to help push us over the top.

Me llamo Anatalia Mojica. Yo quiero espresar como yo me sentir con respeto a mi caso. Me sentir bien comoda con mi dos abogados, el Sr. Martin y el Sr. Futterman, que me trataron mi caso con mucha delicadeza y puecieron mucho tiempo en mi case. Ellos hicieron un trabajo maravilloso con excelente resultos. Lo que mas me gusto de Sr. Martin y Sr. Futterman es que me entendieron y me dieron el soporte que yo necessitaba despues de el tratamiento medical que le dieron los doctores que resulto en la muerte de mi esposo y padre de mis hijos. Nunca me sentir incomoda – al contrario me sentir muy comoda. Gracia a ellos por su alluda y dedicacion a mi caso. Por Anatalia M

[(translation) I am Anatalia Mojica and want to express my feelings with respect to my case. I felt very comfortable with my two attorneys, Mr. Seinfeld and Mr. Futterman, who treated my case in such a delicate manner and expended a lot of time in my case. They did a marvelous job with excellent results. What I liked most about my two lawyers is that they took the time to understand me and gave me the support that I needed after the medical treatment that the doctors rendered to my husband that resulted in the death of my husband and the father of my children. I never felt uncomfortable with them, on the contrary I felt very comfortable. My thanks to them for all their help and dedication given to my case. By: Anatalia M]
