In a nutshell, this attorney delays your case 5 months and gets you a guilty verdict. I asked if I can do an appeal and he states its a waste of time your going to lose all your case anyways. Appeal fee was 10 dollars. I guess it was too much work for him.

I found Michael Spevack Law Offices while doing an internet search.
Having received 3 speeding tickets within one month, I knew I needed expert help and found more expertise in Michael than I ever expected.
He was able to get 2 of my tickets dismissed completely and had to pay only a minimum fine for the 3rd one.
I will recommend him to all my family and friends.

I started my case 2 years ago. Nothing was done. I kept calling for updates and the attorney got upset every time. All she said I have to wait. I consulted with another attorney and as I suspected nothing was done, my checks were not cashed either by USCIS, but she did charged me her fees.
I suggest looking for a more knowledgeable attorney.

She is unprofessional and rude. I was simply inquiring and asking general questions and just by the tone of her voice I can tell she didn’t wanna help. Never again. I do not recommend!

MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS ADMIN LAW JUDGE FOR THE CITY OF NEW YORK, Finance Department is a horrible one. As with ALL ALJ in NYC who are presiding over parking summons, even when accurate information is presented, the job of ALJ is to apply the law correctly and fairly. HOWEVER any ALJ has the authority to dismiss a parking summons at the lowest level when common sense indicates the respondent did not violate parking regulations. ALMOST any ALJ including this one has to state NOT PERSUASIVE ENOUGH for them to find you guilty, and if you appeal it, the three ALJ will also state not persuasive enough and no new finding of law. To appeal the higher court decision, in state court, would cost hundreds of dollars in legal fees, if not thousands. For a $100 ticket? Not worth it. Unfortunately this lawyer, is just as bad if not worst as they come.
