Keith Sullivan and his partner James Galleshaw along with their staff were the most caring and kind lawyers I have ever dealt with. They always made sure to answer all of our questions and took a lot of time explaining things and keeping us in the loop. I was extremely satisfied with the settlement they were able to get my husband and I. Great experience overall with Keith, Jay and the firm as a whole.

Mr. Keith Sullivan is an excellent attorney . He is very thorough, knowledgeable and is an incredible problem solver!
He recently handled a matter for me that would have disrupted my business, but he took over the problem and handled it with incredible care, so I could continue to run my business!
Thank you Keith Sullivan!

I had a bad slip and fall last year, and broke my leg due to the negligence of a poorly managed building . It was a very trying time for my girlfriend and I, with complications arising at every turn.
But Keith Sullivan was there from day one. He was a constant and steady advocate, who listened, empathized and then fought with all that he had. He always kept us in the loop with what his office was working on, and every member of his firm was attentive and knowledgeable.
I had set a high bar for what I wanted as compensation. I had suffered a great deal and wanted the number to reflect that. Not only did Keith Sullivan deliver my request, but he got over 3 times the amount I expected. Now I am able to start my life over again. I cannot recommend Sullivan and Galleshaw more highly. They are the absolute best.

I had an urgent legal matter that needed immediate attention. Without any delay whatsoever, on the day of the issue arising, Russ was able to strategize on the correct actions providing multiple options, and we selected the optimal strategy moving forward in order to deal with the problem. The turnaround was astounding, impressive, and much needed.
The issue was resolved the same day, and the immediate connection and ability to speak directly greatly helped everything within the process.
Unlike other law firms that you have to work through an army of admin assistants, working with Russ was easy, fast, and I received expert-level resolution without any back and forth or time wasted.
I always prefer working directly with the experts due to efficiency and getting the right answers instead of wasting time or any miscommunication and Russ's law practice was able to to resolve my issue efficiently and exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Russ, for all your support and expertise!

I was terminated by my employer and I thought I had a case. I was either ignored or turned away because of "conflicts of interest." Russell came by way of a referral from a Labor Rights website and I am so grateful. He really looked into my case and listened to me. When Russ believes in something, he's passionate about it. I don't know anything about law and he made sure to explain each phase and had multiple courses of actions so I always knew all my options and was fully involved in each decision. At first, I was so worried. My employer had a team of legal professionals and a lot of money to pour into litigation and I definitely do not. Russ was a one man army and handled each interaction with tact and grace. In the end, we won the claim and I know it was all due to 2 things; the truth and Russ. I will continue to recommend anyone having any issues with current or former employers to Russ.
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. Thank you for all your patience and mental fortitude!

I am really glad I hired Mr. D'Oro after I was hurt working at a jobsite list year. He seemed to know the ins and outs of labor law protecting workers at construction sites.

I got hurt when a piece of machinery fell on me at a jobsite in the city. After spending 7 days in the ICU and 3 surgeries over the next year, I was devastated. Tino filed a lawsuit and motions against the other companies and the Court ruled in nylon favor. Thank god my retirement is now taken care of because I can't go back to construction work.

Harold was fantastic. He promptly returned my phone call, walked me through the whole process. He was efficient and professional and most importantly he was able to plea down a ticket with 6 points to a parking violation and I did not have to go to court. Highly recommend.

Found myself in a tricky situation with Larchmont court (a court with a rep for being "difficult") that I unfortunately had to handle while out of state.
Harold was efficient and simple to get a hold off and get started with. He picked up where I left off, had great communication, and ended up getting me even better results than we discussed in our consultation - from 5 pts to a complete dismissal. Very fair pricing and honest business. I interviewed a handful of lawyers, and I am elated I chose him to handle my affairs.

I am extremely happy with the services rendered from Harold. He helped me handle a speeding ticket and get a more than reasonable outcome. He was very responsive when I first reached out to him. He gave me advice once I explained the situation. The process was easy, I just had to sign a few documents. He periodically gave me update (my court date was schedule almost a year later). I did not have to appear in court. He handled everything. Afterward he sent me the judgement right away. I am very thankful for him and would highly recommend his firm. Oh and his rates are reasonable as well.

I had been with a prior law firm before retaining Mr. Ibrahim. The firm had my case for over 2 years and the attorney advised that the case was going to be very difficult to win.
I was told by a very good family friend they had retained Mr. Ibrahim on a mixed criminal/immigration matter and that he was smart when it came to these cases. I immediately decided I had nothing to lose and scheduled a consult with his firm. The entire staff was friendly and very accommodating. The attorney first required a due diligence check on my case for a reasonable fee in order to be able to properly give me an assessment of what my chance were. I liked that as it showed he wanted to make sure that the money i work so hard for didn't go to waste on a case that he determined was not one that he would take.
Upon receipt of the due diligence the attorney carefully reviewed the case with me, laid out a plan of action, and before I knew it, he had resolved the case in a way the other law firm didn't even know about or offer to me in 2 years.
i would give Mr. Ibrahim 10 stars if I could.

I was in and out of family court with what seemed like a new lawyer every time. Between the costs and the time and the stress, I almost gave up fighting. I was referred to Aiman Ibrahim by colleague who had used him in a similar situation. Aiman put an end to all those needless court appearance and was able to get me the rights I was entitled to have. When someone asks me about my lawyer, all I have to reply with is that I trust him with my family.

Joseph Bondy is not only an incredibly talented attorney but also a powerful human being. When you get arrested, your life changes forever. Not only yours, but your family’s, your kids, and all the people around you. You don’t know who to trust, and you don’t know where to turn. Joe was there for me, both as an attorney and a friend. The way he was present for me through the entire process was incredible. Joe understands and cares—that, combined with his talent of being an extraordinary criminal defense attorney, makes him a one-of-a-kind lawyer. In the toughest times, Joe made the sunshine. He made it bright for me when I thought darkness was upon me and gave me that light at the end of the tunnel that allowed me to stay strong and be able to fight the fight. I can wholeheartedly recommend Joe Bondy as an attorney, in the hardest of cases. Thank you, Joe. Thank you for everything.

Dan is a clear headed and a no nonsense attorney. I was lucky to have been referred to him as everything he did was explained to me clearly and he certainly is the best person who could have represented me. I could not have asked for anything better. He is clear, honest and trustworthy and always has your interests at heart. He is absolutely immaculate and what a memory! He remembers and does everything without any fuss.

Dan has a knack of making you comfortable the minute you see his friendly and personable self. He helped me through an issue involving a clash between domestic laws of two countries and differences of interpretation of international law, especially Vienna Convention on Diplomatic and Consular relations.
His kind, reassuring yet confident manner impressed me at the beginning. He was thorough with his legal knowledge, always had a clear strategy and communicated it clearly to all stake holders involved. He had great skill for public dissemination of our position and dealt with international media on my behalf. His primary interest was my welfare and he was decisive and aggressive when it came to protecting it, despite pressure from various quarters. He was also available at any hour to talk to me or consult others, considering we were in the midst of an international issue. Dan was very resourceful and he had access to the best of experts in every field. I was thoroughly satisfied with his legal counsel and his defence of my case and would whole heartedly and confidently recommend him.

I am very happy to have chosen Mr. Arshack to represent my son on his criminal charges. My son was involved in an incident where two groups of teenagers got entangled with violence, resulting my son being stabbed with a knife. Since my son was the victim and he stated to detectives that he didn't want to press charges, we didn't think too seriously about the case until we received the cross complaints letter with 2 felony and 1 misdemeanor charges against my son. After the initial consultation with Mr. Arshack, we knew we were with good hands: the Best Hands. Mr. Arshack, with his much experience and knowledge, gave us the much needed assurance that things will be fine which my wife needed dearly during that time of despair and uncertainty. Mr. Arshack dived into action on building my son's case; contacting the DA, speaking with lawyers involved, setting up to have out family interviewed by consultant at non-profit organization which work to have young kids out of jail.... In less than a month before my son's court date, Mr. Arshack was able to completely resolve my son's case. All the charges dropped, no criminal record whatsoever, no restitution, no community service. Mr. Arshack understood and totally related with me dealing with teenage boy issues. I cannot thank him enough in saving my son's life, helping our family move forward, and having my son started on therapy session to keep out of future trouble. I highly recommend him should you ever need a criminal representation.

I was represented by Mr. Benjamin Barry after I suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car accident. It would be an understatement to say he changed my life for the better. Do to my condition I was forced to put all my trust into Mr. Barry's hands, and I'm grateful I chose him. I was never once uncomfortable with the situation do to his strong presence and extensive knowledge. My wife said she hadn't seen me smile for months until you settled our case!
Thank you,
from My family and I.

My wife and I were in need of a lawyer.
After 47 years of home ownership we were leaving for Florida and wanted a younger firm to represent us while we were in the process of relocating.
A colleague of ours mentioned Eric Stowe and we set up a quick meeting to meet him.
We were both impressed immediately with his friendly and approachable demeanor. But, knowing his extensive background and experience made our choice quite easy.
We just looked at each other and knew right away that Eric Stowe was our guy.
Eric and his paralegal, Lori, remained at our side throughout the selling process.
Abstract Title searches, instrument land surveys and documentation of allsorts was expedited and, when needed, UPS Overnight Air shipped to us for signatures. No small undertaking.
We are most pleased to recommend The Eric Stowe Law Firm to anyone in need of professional legal services.
We could not have asked for more. Nor will you!

Received 9 point for passing a car a mile from Hunter Mountain over a double line and was on the verge of losing my license with 4 point already on my license. Scott reduced it to a $175 traffic ticket with no points! Worth every cent and more!

After researching for few days and contacting few attorneys, I chose Scott to represent me for two traffic violations tickets. I am glad I made the right choice. It took few months but finally he was able to get my tickets dismissed.
I was very concerned about these tickets but he was very patient through this process. I sent him multiple emails in last few months for updates. He responded within 24 hours each time. I highly recommend him.

Ms Aboushi was amazing! She worked hard for about 6 years on my son's case! Whatever she needed, I got and she would go straight to work. Even after the case was handled, she still gives advice when we need it and my kid is always on her mind! You get treated with so much respect and just knowing that someone is willing to go all out for you, especially when seeing justice! I would recommend her in a heart beat. It was always about what was best for my child, not for her. As long as we were happy, she would push through. I don't believe anyone would work harder than her. She took on my case after another firm had a hold on it for almost a year and did nothing. She on the other hand, took it and was off.

I was recently arrested and falsely accused by a proprietor of a business. Upon appearing in Manhattan court for a D.A.T pertaining to this matter I must admit the taste of discuss the NYPD left with me was/is horrendous. Adam approached me and immediately upon speaking with me he could feel my frustration emanating, especially after sharing false claims/ allegations made in a spruced up report by an officer. His warm and understanding demener instilled in me a new confidence and hope of justice. He almost makes me look forward to my next appearance. This guy so far has given me a glimmer of hope that good representation is possible. I look forward to having his defense enlighten my lack of fair treatment and due process.
THANKYOU SIR!!!!

I recently hired Adam to represent me for my DWI arrest on the Westside hwy. I had refused the breathalyzer in the precinct on the advice of a friend of mine that was an attorney but not the type of attorney you want giving you legal advice on DWI's. I was arrested on a Sunday evening and needed to spend the night in the tombs. My wife called my sister who is an attorney and asked her to find a lawyer and my sister must have made over 20 phone calls to lawyers asking for recommendations for DWI attorneys she advised that multiple people had brought up Adam's name and when she told me "I have never heard an attorney refer to another attorney as an amazing lawyer but even better person" I knew I needed to go with Adam. My wife had the initial communication with him but even she raved about how easy he was to talk to him. He wasn't able to make it to my initial court hearing the night I got out because he was in California on business but he had one of his associates come. Honestly you could probably save yourself 1.5-2k by not having an attorney because nothing actually happens at the hearing where you're released but I would have paid 5k just to get out of that place so I didn't care. When Adam and I first met I introduced myself said to him "after all of this is said and done, I hope I can say that hiring you was one of the best decisions of my life", and even that is not enough at this point. Adam was so honest with me but yet the way he carried out the conversation I still felt reassured that the best possible outcome was going to happen. I'm a realistic person, I know that if a lawyer tells me that there's a 100% chance of me getting completely off that he's just blowing smoke but Adam wasn't like that. He actually wanted to know about who I was, where I came from, the circumstances of the evening and things leading up to that evening. He really spent his time trying to find out who I was so that he could humanize this terribly unfortunate mistake I made. The NYS stance on refusals is no pleas and he told me that it rarely happens the first time, but that if we were persistent there was a possibly we would prevail. Adam scheduled a meeting with me to review all of the court documents and get my take on everything and also did his due diligence in trying to find discrepancies in the court that he could use, not only if we needed to go to court but also in trying to persuade the ADA to submit a reduced plea. The first hearing came and went and no plea. Obviously I was very disappointed but Adam once again, reassured me that this wasn't the end of the road. Adam was so persistent with the ADA, constantly communicating with him and seeing where things stood, I really knew that he had my best interest at heart. Sure enough, in the days leading up to the second and final hearing before we would have needed to go to court the ADA sent Adam a message with the reduced plea. No misdemeanor, not ignition lock, a license suspension reduced form 1 year to 90 days and I think $450 in fines. When Adam heard the news he immediately called me, emailed me and texted me. You could just tell he was so excited that we got exactly what we wanted. Overall, if you read this, regardless of what your DWI/DUI situation is, you will 100% be making the right decision to go with Adam to represent you. Adam, if you ever read this, I am forever indebted to you!!

I hired Mr. Lichtman over a year ago to represent my brother in a federal case. My family and I had initially hired another lawyer who stole our money and butchered my brother's defense. We were beginning to lose hope and accepted that my beloved brother was going to spend most of his life in prison. My good friend in California referred me to Mr. Lichtman and I contacted him immediately. After our initial call, my family and I felt like we hit the lottery. Thanks to our superstar lawyer, my brother will be home soon. He is a literal legal genius and knows exactly what to do and what not to do – a quality most lawyers lack. He genuinely cared about my brother’s case and spent a lot of time answering our questions. If you're looking for an incredible and aggressive defense lawyer, I highly recommend hiring him. Mr. Lichtman saved my brother’s life.

Lave literally saved my life, I had a criminal misdemeanor charge, I pleaded guilty, too, even though I was not involved or had anything to do with what happened that day, but the police officer falsified some of the evidence that he presented in court, and I ended up pleading guilty to a misdemeanor, because I simply had no choice. Some few months after INS used this charge to get me deported. Labe was hired and did a wonderful job studying my case and managed to appeal my conviction, which lead to my release with no bail, from prison. Labe did a wonderful job fighting this case for me until we won , reversing it to a violation. And believe me this was not an easy task, took a lot of time and work, I’m sure 100% if I have used any other attorney I would not make it. Labes knowledge of the criminal system and criminal law is above and beyond. This guy doesn’t take shortcuts to make it easier for him self at costumers expense, he fully dedicates himself and his time to make sure you receive best service and results there is possible. He don’t promise anything ahead of the end, but believe me you will receive the best you can get. And that is my honest opinion, and believe me I have been around the block more then a few times and have used many different attorneys in NYC for different incidents that I have got my self in to. This guy is the best and hones I have seen, if not the best to have fighting for you in NYC period. God bless his heart and soul he really came through for me. I wish all of you good luck and success in your case.

Mr. Richman is an extremely skillful and dedicated attorney in one of the hardest areas of legal practice which is post-conviction relief. As an immigration attorney representing a client in his removal proceeding, I had to seek the best criminal defense attorney I could find to file a motion with criminal court to vacate and change the client’s criminal sentence so that he could qualify for cancellation of removal. He was a long-term lawful permanent resident facing deportation with no chance to be even considered for cancellation because of his single aggravated felony conviction. A reduction of the client’s sentence by only one day, would change the classification of his conviction for immigration purposes, making him eligible to apply for cancellation. (I wish my client’s former criminal attorney knew what difference just one day in the sentence could have made for his non-citizen client.) However, it was very hard to change the sentence through a post-conviction motion. Another criminal defense attorney retained by the client’s family had already filed such a motion without success. At this time, I decided to find the best attorney in town to try it again, and I found one, Mr. Richman. He re-filed the motion and fiercely fought for our client at the state court level. He was then ready to continue the battle in federal court when, finally, the criminal court agreed to vacate and reduce the sentence. This victory allowed me to reopen the client’s deportation case and seek cancellation of removal, which was granted. Our client is a US citizen today and the life of his family of immigrants was not torn apart by deportation due to effective assistance provided by Mr. Richman. I remain grateful to Mr. Richman for accepting such a challenging case and for the remarkable winning that opened an avenue for me to fight for the client in immigration court. I also greatly appreciate all the guidance on immigration-related criminal issues I have received from Mr. Richman throughout the years.

Mathew Perrone resolved my case in just 2 court appearances. He was able to work out a great offer, due to his commendable character and professional demeanor. Ultimately, the charge was reduced to a simple violation, after I was unjustly threatened with probation for several months prior--under a "different" lawyer who was incompetent.
I would recommend Mathew Perrone to friends and family, without hesitation.
I am extremely grateful for his expertise and professionalism.

I spoke with Mathew Perrone, Esq. After consulting with several other attorneys about my pending DWI case in a Westchester county criminal court. I found Mr. Perrone very knowledgeable, and he also has an empathic side to him that the other attorneys I spoke to didn’t possess. Thankfully my gut was correct, and not only did he expose issues with the case, but I ended up walking away with a none criminal disposition and a new friend. I can’t thank you enough of all you did for me and my family.

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.
