“I want to give an excellent review to Ethel DeHoyos and Chet Lukaszewski from McIntyre, Donohue, Accardi, Salmonson & Riordan, LLP. They did an outstanding job helping me secure my 3/4 Disability Pension. Throughout the entire process, they worked tirelessly on my behalf and kept me informed every step of the way. Whenever I called or emailed with questions, they responded promptly and professionally, always taking the time to explain what was happening with my case. I truly appreciate their dedication, hard work, and commitment to achieving a successful outcome. Job well done, Ethel and Chet! I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of legal assistance.”
“I highly recommend Ethel DeHoyos, my pension paralegal, and attorney Chet Lukaszewski for their outstanding help with my disability case related to injuries I suffered during the Iraq War. Ethel was extremely professional, helpful, and compassionate throughout the entire process. She always treated me with respect and made sure everything was handled correctly and efficiently. This is a very military-friendly law firm that truly understands veterans and the challenges we face. I would absolutely recommend Ethel DeHoyos and Chet Lukaszewski to all veterans, law enforcement officers, and anyone needing legal assistance with disability or pension matters. Thank you, Ethel, for everything you did for me. Your dedication and support meant a lot. I highly recommend both Ethel and Chet to anyone looking for knowledgeable and caring legal professionals.”
“Sharon Fischer has been an amazing link to the firm. She has helped tremendously with all the paperwork, explaining the legal jargon when I had questions, and I had many. I cannot thank her and the firm during these many years of litigation to get to this point during the 8 years this case has commenced. Any legal issues that need to be attended, whether it be Workers’ Compensation, Social Security Disability, or any legal matters, this firm is the place to go. Cannot thank Sharon and the firm enough.”
“This firm was amazing with their intelligence, their ability to navigate my pension, and their ability to get me what I needed. I highly recommend them to everyone. Chet Lukaszewski, Ethel DeHoyos, and Katarina Kersten did something that I believe has never ever been done for anybody. My husband ailing from liver disease and other health matters was able to get his pension seamlessly and in a very timely manner that saved us from desolate circumstances. We owe MDASR, LLP so much, and we will forever be grateful!!! Hundreds of stars, not just 5!!!”
“This is my second case where I had to utilize their services and once again, they have provided hassle free care and treatment throughout the whole process. Kassandra Pinedo and her team provided excellent care and professionalism. Should I need them again there will be no hesitation to come back to this firm.”
“This company has been with me through it all. Chet and Ethel helping me with my disability case. Scott Salmonson helping me with my comp case…it’s been a rough road but they explain everything and make sure you’re aware with what’s going on and what’s going to happen. Thank God I found good people to help me with my journey. I’m grateful”

“Margaret Ryan at MDASR LLP is an absolute Rockstar. Any questions I had she would answer and if she didn’t have the answer she would get me the answer within a 24-hour period. She is genuine and puts her heart into her job and makes sure you are comfortable and have the answers you need. Margret goes above and beyond and gets results fast I am so grateful to have had her help with my case.”

“Ethel DeHoyos, my pension paralegal, has been wonderful. She guided me throughout the entire process and made it easy. You can’t find a more competent and personable individual. She was friendly, easy to talk to, and always promptly returned my calls and emails, unlike the paralegal at my previous law firm. My attorneys at MDASR (Chet Lukaszewski, Joseph Abrahams, and Ron Schnepf) have also been top-notch. Their results speak for themselves.
I wholeheartedly recommend the law firm of McIntyre, Donohue, Accardi, Salmonson & Riordan (MDASR) to anyone who is unfortunate to require legal representation for their Workers’ Compensation, Social Security Disability, or Civil Service pension case. You won’t be disappointed.”
“It was an ABSOLUTE pleasure working with Carol Venezia. She was knowledgeable in her field and was always able to take the time to talk through any questions I had! Carol always answered her phone directly and/or returned my call within a timely manner! Thank you for making this process easier for me! You are appreciated!”
“Chet Lukaszewski is the best attorney that I have ever had. He helped me through a very difficult process. I was trying to get my pension changed to 3/4 from the NYPD because I developed cancer from 9/11/01. He helped me and consoled me every step of the way. It was not an easy process. However, with Chet’s guidance, I was able to get through all of the paperwork, emails and phone calls. I would highly recommend Chet to anyone who is considering applying for a 3/4 pension. To all that reads this, God Bless you my brothers and sisters in blue!!! God Bless you, Chet. Thank you for everything!!!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Senior Paralegal Supervisor, Marie Gerke. Throughout my Workers’ Compensation case, Marie has been absolutely amazing. She has been professional, knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly responsive every step of the way. What stood out most was her dedication and willingness to answer my questions and keep me informed throughout the process. She made what could have been a very stressful experience much easier to navigate. Her attention to detail, compassion, and commitment to helping clients truly set her apart. I am extremely grateful for all of Marie’s hard work and support. She went above and beyond, and I always felt that my case was in capable hands. If you have the opportunity to work with Marie, you can be confident that you will receive outstanding service and genuine care. Thank you, Marie, for everything you have done for me. You are truly an asset to your team and organization. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended!”

Felt very comfortable and got the job done in a timely manner. When I had a question and was a little bit confused, the response time was great. Thank you is all I can say to this wonderful firm. Smooth process, great law firm, and they did exactly what they said they would do from the beginning to the end.”
“This firm has done an outstanding job handling multiple cases of mine simultaneously and seamlessly. From day one, I’ve dealt with the incomparable Ethel DeHoyos and she has made this process manageable and seemingly effortless. You can feel the care, concern, and warmth from her over the phone. She was extremely efficient and helpful even when I called her about my other cases outside of her purview. I knew that I was in great hands. She is a gem. The multiple lawyers handling my various cases are all knowledgeable and consulted me to the best of their abilities, keeping my best interest as the focus and yielding positive results. I highly recommend this firm and am beyond grateful to my coworker who recommended me! Thank You MDASR, LLP!!”
“I cannot recommend Kayla Thompson and MDASR, LLP enough. Her attention to details and proactive approach made a massive difference in my case. She didn’t just handle the paperwork; she anticipated every need before I even asked. Kayla is truly a top-tier professional who brings both skill and heart to their work.”
“MDASR has and will always take care of me and my family, especially as a first responder. I thank very much Attorney Sean Riordan, Attorney Tim Finnegan, and Sharon Fisher. They have never let me down. That is why I recommend them to everyone, including my staff and members. Great People! Great Results!”
“Great experience! I came in with my mom stressed out about her case and had no idea what I was looking at. Zachary Dworken sat with us, went through everything and didn’t make us feel rushed. He is the kind of person that genuinely wants to help you understand what is going on, not just get you in and out. We left feeling so much better. Really glad we found him! THANK YOU!”
