He resolved a difficult case, in one court session, with minimal challenges, and knew exactly what needed to be done. Also was done at a cost that made counsel affordable when I otherwise would not have been able to.

Mr. Kassman is a great attorney backed by an incredible staff who work really hard. We had a horrible tenant that had to be evicted in Suffolk County and Mr. Kassman laid out a plan and executed on it flawlessly. He took dozens of phone calls, and so did his staff from us and reassured us throughout the entire process. We are really grateful. Looking forward to using him for other needs that we have because he’s full service. We got the eviction and we got our lives back and we owe it all to Mr. Kassman and has a great team. Shout out Mara - she is incredible. Highly recommend using them don’t even hesitate. This is a great choice for an attorney who is very well seasoned on long island law, courts, judges and the complex process of ny law.

Two years ago, I made the poor decision to get into my car after leaving a holiday gathering . In the “holiday spirit,” I had been drinking wine, did not gauge my intake, and headed home in my car. Along the way, there was a working car accident on the road that I needed to traverse in order to get home. While proceeding, I hit the rear quarter panel of a police vehicle that was on the scene. I pulled over, and was arrested after refusing a breathalyzer test and failing the standardized field sobriety test (SFSTs).
After calling my wife from the Police Precinct, she immediately called the Law Office of Dara Martin-Orlando, and Ms. Orlando met me at the Suffolk County District Court in Islip, New York.
Directly upon meeting me, she accompanied me up to the Judge’s Bench, and by means of her vast knowledge of the law and brief synopsis of my background given to her by my wife, was able to convince the Judge to allow me to leave on my own recognizance.
Dara pulled me aside, and instantly showed compassion for the situation that I was in. I immediately knew that my wife and I made the right decision, and that we could trust Dara with our best interests.
This being my first offense, and my first experience with the legal system, I had a lot to learn. As a professional who is already spinning many plates while also raising a family, I feared that I would not be able to hold it all together without falling apart as a result of the overburdening of the new legal demands. Dara did not let that happen!
Dara's knowledge and professionalism navigated me through what could have been an incredibly scary and unpredictable, life-altering experience. She gave me hope when I needed it most, and her constant communication reminded me that, as she said, she will always “have my back.” Dara was able to help me get my license back in a timely fashion, and was also able to cut my mandated year with an Interlock Device in my car, in half. I was told that this doesn’t happen very often in the state of New York, but evidently, Dara Martin-Orlando can make it happen!
Dara helped turn what began as a horrible situation and experience, into one that has enabled me to have faith and trust, that some people will truly “have my back.” For this and all that Dara has done for me and my family, I say, “Thank You From the Bottom of my Heart!”

I first consulted with Dara at night at a meeting because of my scheduling constraints. After meeting with her I attained her as my attorney because I felt confident that she could help me and assist me with my case. She kept me completely informed as to what was happening and what to expect at the end when sentenced. I was comfortable and was completely satisfied with the end result. I would recommend her to anybody that had the same issues that I had.

After recieving a speeding ticket I meet with Dara to discuss my options. The meeting took place right on time, was quick and very pleasant. Once I explained the details of the ticket Dara was extremely quick and informative on what to do afterwards. The whole procedure only took a week or two and she texted me to keep me up to date. Meeting with Dara allowed me to keep a clear mind and be worry free to focus on other important things. Very happy to have meet Dara and would highly recommend her to anyone.

His rate was very reasonable compared to other lawyers I consulted with at the time. He was very upfront with me, held nothing back, and assured me I was in the right hands (and that I was). He spoke with me during our consultations of any potential outcome or consequences, if any, that I may have faced but luckily there were none of concern. He stuck to his word in our achievement of a favorable outcome in my case, and any good lawyer would say to their client that they can't promise anything for certain. He has extensive knowledge of law & the legal system, and is VERY trustworthy & reliable. During one such meeting we had, he implemented Google Maps, without myself even suggesting doing so, right in the convenience of his office on his computer, so that he could see for himself where the incident was that I was at. I was able to point out for him exactly what happened as if he was right there in person at that location at that given time, and he kept extensive information and records of everything pertaining to our matter. I thought very well of him for his smartness. If only I knew of this lawyer during the time of the traffic stop I was in due to the officer's integrity and this officer's encounters with me in the past. But regardless of the unfairness of the police officer & the legal situation overall, Mr. D'Angelo Esq. and I got what we asked for in the end. He was able to think outside the box and I was very impressed with his conduct. His office is conveniently located adjacent to the Suffolk First District Courthouse on Carleton Ave, returns calls and e-mails promptly, and is overall very professional and someone I'd trust again to hire if I were to experience any trouble of any sort. Call him if you need an excellent, aggressive, personal L.I. based attorney to represent you in court. I can say firsthand that he works hard to fight for his clients' rights & freedoms. Thank you, James D'Angelo Esq.

Mr D'Angelo is a well experienced in traffic law. Very reliable and always reminded me of my court dates and informed me of my options and what was best for my case. He had my case done within a reasonable amount of time and I was very happy with the outcome. He takes a personal interest in his clients cases. I would hire Mr. D'Angelo again for any legal issues I may have in the future.

I had an unfortunate event happen in my life were the police were called and ultimately had an order of protection called an E.R.P.O put against myself. Never being in trouble with the law I was nervous. I was refereed to Jason Bassett. I am so glad I decided to work with him as the police officer told the story of what happen in such a mixed up way Jason Bassett was able to prove my innocence and also further more proved the officer didn’t know the facts he was speaking on. Throughout the entire time working with Jason Bassett he calmed my nerves and kept in contact personally with me. This was the best outcome I could have wanted thanks to my lawyer Jason Bassett.

Harlan was my attorney a few years ago and was the absolute best attorney I had. I was a dumb kid that was in a bad place, and he saw it for that. People have to remember that your case is also your responsibility so you have to communicate with your attorney, Harlan was fantastic at communication. Also the final sentence was much less than one would expect. Never got to review him then but as I got my ish together, I figured now was the perfect time to give my thanks.

Never being in trouble with the law I was nervous. I was refereed to Jason Bassett. I am so glad I decided to work with him as the police officer told the story of what happen in such a mixed up way Jason Bassett was able to prove my innocence and also further more proved the officer didn’t know the facts he was speaking on. Throughout the entire time working with Jason Bassett he calmed my nerves and kept in contact personally with me. This was the best outcome I could have wanted thanks to my lawyer Jason Bassett.

They were absolutely great! My insurance didn't go through to the DMV properly so I got pulled over & the cop was a jerk. Wrote me a bunch of unnecessary tickets. I was really struggling financially as well & couldn't miss work over this, so they were so kind to work out an arrangement with me. Very thankful for this group of lawyers

Been using Richard as my attorney since 2007 when he helped me with a criminal matter after a different attorney could only get the judge to offer probation. Rich got the misdemeanor reduced to a violation (ticket) and I was still able to get a career in law enforcement. Fast forward 10 years he closed on my first home. Highly recommended.

Did not do what he said he was going to do. He was hired to sue the cops after the case was dismissed. He had me spend all kinds of money on depositions and then he ran away from federal court....

Ian came highly recommend. His background in criminal law was very impressive. The court system is very confusing but Ian knew the process and seemed to always be one step ahead. My case turned out more than favorable for the defense. Ian always returned my calls, always followed up outside of the court room, always took the time to explain where we stood, and I couldn't have been more pleased with the service he provided.

When I came into Family Court they wanted to put a neglect charge on me for taking my child out of special classes in school. Who am I again that I can't do that according to them? The parent. That's the first disrespect.
All hell has broken loose in my case due to the actions of this arrogant law guardian and it's all due to her disrespect for parental rights and that she does not know anything about Family court law.

this lawyer was TERRIBLE. She did not have my best interest in mind. She gave me falso information saying that I could not be in court. She also told me the evidence that I had presented to her did not matter, even though it could’ve made a big difference in my case. Do not hire her or even have her as your public attorney. Sad sad excuse of a lawyer. This is why so many people say that justice system in our country is sad

What a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You
A criminal defense lawyer provides legal representation to individuals or organizations accused of criminal conduct. If you're facing criminal charges, a defense lawyer will work to protect your rights, build a defense strategy, and ensure you receive a fair trial. Their primary goal is to reduce or dismiss charges, secure an acquittal, or negotiate a favorable plea deal.
Criminal defense lawyers have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures. They investigate your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and represent you in court, ensuring that you have the best possible defense.
When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?
It’s crucial to hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you are facing any criminal charges. Some situations in which you should seek legal representation include:
- Arrest or police questioning: If you've been arrested or are under investigation, hiring a lawyer early on can prevent self-incrimination and protect your rights during police questioning.
- Felony charges: Crimes such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, or robbery carry severe penalties, including long prison sentences. A defense lawyer is essential in these cases.
- Misdemeanor charges: Even for less serious offenses like DUI, theft, or simple assault, a lawyer can help reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives to jail, or get charges dismissed.
- Plea negotiations: If you’re considering a plea bargain, a lawyer can evaluate the deal, advise you on its consequences, and negotiate for more favorable terms.
- Probation or parole violations: If you’ve been accused of violating probation or parole, a lawyer can defend you against additional penalties or revocation.
- Juvenile offenses: For minors charged with criminal acts, a criminal defense lawyer can protect their future by minimizing legal repercussions or keeping the case in juvenile court.
What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?
Criminal defense lawyers provide comprehensive legal services to protect their clients’ rights throughout the criminal justice process. Their duties include:
- Case evaluation and investigation: Reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and investigating the facts to develop a strong defense strategy.
- Legal advice: Advising you on your rights, the charges you’re facing, and potential defense strategies, including whether to take a plea deal or go to trial.
- Negotiating plea bargains: Working with prosecutors to negotiate a plea deal that could reduce charges or minimize penalties.
- Court representation: Representing you in all court hearings, including bail hearings, pretrial motions, trials, and sentencing hearings.
- Filing motions: Filing motions to dismiss charges, suppress evidence, or reduce bail, depending on the specifics of your case.
- Trial preparation and defense: Preparing a defense strategy and presenting arguments, evidence, and witnesses during trial to contest the prosecution's case.
- Appeals: If you are convicted, a defense lawyer can appeal the conviction or sentence, arguing errors in the trial process or legal rulings.
How Are Criminal Defense Lawyers Paid?
Criminal defense lawyers generally charge clients in one of three ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Payment structures include:
- Flat fee: For straightforward cases (e.g., minor misdemeanors), some lawyers charge a one-time flat fee that covers all aspects of the defense.
- Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing cases, lawyers may charge by the hour, with rates varying based on the lawyer’s experience and geographic location.
- Retainer fee: In cases where extensive work is expected, the client may pay a retainer fee upfront. The lawyer then bills against that retainer for their work on the case.
The cost of criminal defense services can vary greatly, so it’s important to discuss fees during your initial consultation.
How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a criminal defense lawyer depends on several factors, including the severity of the charges, the complexity of the case, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost guidelines are:
- Misdemeanor cases: For relatively minor offenses, such as a DUI or petty theft, a flat fee may range from $1,500 to $5,000.
- Felony cases: More serious charges, such as assault or drug trafficking, can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
- Hourly rates: For cases billed by the hour, lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on their expertise and the case's location.
- Additional expenses: You may also be responsible for other costs, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, or the cost of private investigators.
Be sure to clarify the lawyer’s fee structure and any potential additional costs during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Criminal Defense Lawyer
Before hiring a criminal defense lawyer, you’ll want to ensure that they’re a good fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has a strong track record with the specific type of criminal charges you’re facing, whether it’s DUI, drug offenses, or violent crimes. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
A good lawyer should provide an honest assessment of your case and the likelihood of dismissal, a plea bargain, or conviction. -
How many cases have you taken to trial?
While many criminal cases settle with a plea deal, it’s important to hire a lawyer with courtroom experience in case your case goes to trial. -
Who will handle my case?
Ask if the lawyer will be personally involved or if other attorneys in the firm will handle most of the work. -
How do you communicate with your clients?
Be clear on how often and through what channels you can expect updates on your case.
How to Check the Credibility of a Criminal Defense Lawyer
To verify the credibility of a criminal defense lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their standing with the state bar: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any past disciplinary actions or complaints.
- Read online reviews and testimonials: Platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google can provide insights from previous clients about the lawyer’s communication, professionalism, and case outcomes.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should have past clients or other professionals who can speak to their competence and work ethic.
- Review their case history: Look at the lawyer’s website or professional profile to see their experience with criminal cases, including high-profile or complex cases.
- Look for trial experience: If your case might go to trial, make sure the lawyer has a strong history of courtroom advocacy and success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your first consultation with a criminal defense lawyer, bring the following:
- Details of your case: Be prepared to provide a detailed account of the charges against you, including any documents related to your arrest, police reports, and court dates.
- Criminal history: If you have any prior criminal convictions, inform your lawyer so they can understand how that may affect your current case.
- List of witnesses or evidence: If there are any potential witnesses or evidence that may support your defense, share this information during the consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare questions about their experience, legal strategy, and fees to ensure you understand how they will handle your case.
- Bail or release documents: If you’ve been released on bail, bring any paperwork related to your release conditions or restrictions.
By being well-prepared, you can help your lawyer quickly assess your situation and begin building an effective defense strategy.
