Rating: 10

I cannot say anything beyond what I have set forth above, other than to state that if I were ever in need of an attorney who practices in Surrogate's Court, Jules would be my one and only choice. View More

Q. How do you know this lawyer?

Current or Former Co-Worker/Colleague

I am a partner in a law firm that worked with Jules Haas as co-counsel in a New York County Surrogate's Court case. I also know Jules from having worked with him on another Surrogate's Court's matter several years ago.

Q. In the cases you were involved in with this attorney, which of the following apply?

Same Client

We are a firm that specializes in art law-related matters. We needed expertise from a Surrogate's Court practitioner, as our client had artwork whose ownership was contested in an estate proceeding.

Q. When did you work with this lawyer?
Most recently June 2016-June 2018 on one case as well as several years ago on a prior matter.

Q. Was this lawyer an effective advocate/counselor and why?
Yes

Jules possesses the ability to distill complex facts and issues into simple terms and present them in a clear and persuasive argument. This ability was all the more important, given that the case to which I refer had multiple parties represented by lawyers from some of the most prestigious law firms in New York, each of whom had his/her own idea as how best to structure our arguments. Jules' strategy, which we employed, was the winning formula for our client.

Q. Please rate this lawyer on the following:

Legal Knowledge: Excellent

Jules retrieved some not so easy to find cases that were on point in our case.

Legal Analysis: Excellent

Many lawyers can't seem to distinguish the forest from the trees. Jules always kept his eye on the ball, consistent in his legal theory of the case.

Communication Skills: Excellent

Jules presents a very relaxed persona in court. His arguments are clear and concise.

Ethics and Professionalism: Excellent

It was a pleasure to work with Jules throughout the two years we worked together on the Surrogate's Court's case. I never once felt that we presented an argument that wasn't made in good faith.

Q. For which practice area(s) would you recommend this lawyer?

Q. I would recommend this lawyer to my family and friends
