Well, let me start off by saying Mr Prestia is the best Lawyer I could have asked for, was recommended to him through a family member. As soon as I walked in for the consultation I knew he would be the perfect lawyer to take on my case. He knew and said from the beginning that it would be hard to prove my innocence knowing what they had against me but even with that information he told me he would fight till the end and that is exactly what he did. He did it all quickly too never had a single problem when going into the courtrooms and speaking with the DA he sorted everything out for me all I had to do was tell the DA what happened that day of the incident. We met with the DA once and that first time it didn't go so smoothly they were not going to give me a plea bargain, he told me to not worry and that he would speak with them to try to get me another meeting with them and he did that exactly, ended up speaking with them and ultimately we settled with a plea bargain. no criminal record only a violation. No lawyer I know would have tried to fight this that much and get me another meeting with the DA for a second time what was most likely going to happen was going to trial but Mr Prestia was set on not taking this to trial since it could go 50/50 in favor or not in favor of me. Thankfully in the end it all worked out and the charges were dropped after taking the plea bargain. No criminal record is what he wanted to achieve for me and that's exactly what we got. I really do recommend this lawyer to anyone who is in need of one, Mr Prestia is really understanding. If I ever need a lawyer in the future I'm definitely coming to him first.

Finding an attorney to fight for you the way you deserve to be fought for is not an easy feat. That was my first experience before meeting with Mr. Prestia, as a young black latino from the projects looking to get justice from the NYPD.
The task seemed impossible but the raw experience and passion Mr. Prestia has had for me and my case has put me in a place of gratitude, peace, and closure.
When hiring Paul, understand that you are getting someone who is relentless in seeking you relief and resources for whatever nightmare you’re going through. Paul would answer any question at any time of the day/night, and would always check in at some point to update me about my case or my thoughts on certain matters pertaining to my case.
He also took out the necessary time to reach out to journalists, in which he was able to tell my story to the world and get the right attention to my case so the right people can support me.
Due to this, we were able stay on the same page throughout my case and get the results needed to truly say I was able to get a form of justice that has helped me move past some of my traumatic experiences and look forward to my life.
Three years after hiring Mr. Prestia, I am more than grateful for all he was able to do for me and my life and I am more than certain he will and can do the same for you!

David's attention to detail and prompt communication were remarkable. He kept me well-informed of all developments, responded quickly to my questions, and proactively addressed potential concerns before they could become issues. His extensive knowledge, combined with his tactical negotiation skills, proved invaluable in reaching a resolution that protected my interests. I would unequivocally recommend David to anyone seeking experienced legal representation.

I would like to first to thank David and his team for resolving my case in a professional manner. The case was unique in respect but I felt from past performance and reviews I made the right decision on choosing his firm
Dave used his experience and expertise from his days with the Manhattan’s da office as a prosecutor
Dave and his team take each case as personal experience knowing what the clients are dealing with and trying to resolve and he is there from start to finish it’s the personal touch that he offers that some of the larger law firms can’t offer
His honesty and integrity is also what makes the difference I would have been lost without Dave and his team I consider him a great friend and someone I would highly recommend to anyone that faced similar challenges as I did
David is there for the individual and family in law practice and if he can’t handle the case he will work along with you to find a firm to help you he is very dedicated to his career helping people out in legal matters thank you so much for helping me in my case and honest google review from other clients. That helped my decision is find a right attorney as well

Having worked with Varghese & Associates since its formation almost 15 years ago, we have interfaced with a number of the Firm's clients, including giving testimony. The message is consistent and clear. Varghese & Associates provides the best criminal defense possible, regardless of the circumstances. Vinoo Varghese's prior experience in the District Attorney's office enables him to have a unique perspective on what is required to make sure their clients prevail.

Mark is an exceptional civil litigator, driven by integrity, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to his clients. My family and I were facing an incredibly challenging situation for years, feeling overwhelmed and on the verge of losing hope in this abyss of a legal system. You’re lucky if he agrees to take your case, because when he does, your case is getting solved one way or the other, God willing.
Facing a very incompetent and unnecessarily difficult opposing counsel, Mark knew exactly when to exercise patience and when to take decisive action to ensure the other side felt the pressure, respectfully. His expertise was instrumental in helping us settle the case. Throughout the entire process, Mark guided us with professionalism, patience, and a deep sense of ethics. I have never laughed through tears as much, or felt at ease when facing turbulence after years of dead ends prior. He’s a strategic thinker, creative in his approach, and incredibly thorough in his research—all qualities that made a real difference in the outcome of our case. Mark didn’t just fight for us; he empowered us, coached us through some of our toughest moments with resilience and clarity. Mark's legal writing is exceptional, demonstrating a deep understanding of case law which truly made a difference in our case.
What truly sets Mark apart is his genuine care for his clients. We knew what was happening every step of the way. Even during the most stressful times, Mark’s presence was both real and reassuring. I’ve worked with many attorneys over the years, both personally and professionally, and none have earned my respect and appreciation like Mark. If you’re looking for an attorney who not only understands the law but also has your best interests at heart, Mark is the one you want in your corner. His professionalism, dedication, and honesty are unparalleled. Thank you Mark, my family is forever grateful!

Julie Nociolo helped us navigate our son’s false Title IX accusation. I would highly recommend her to anyone facing these allegations. You need someone knowledgeable in this area and she certainly was. She knew the ins and outs. Julie was always accessible, she was extremely knowledgeable, she was caring, and most importantly she established a very good rapport with my son. She saw him through a very hard time and he trusted her implicitly.

I’ve worked with the Roche Law Group for almost 5 years as they’ve handled my immigration case. The firm has made my process as seamless as possible. They’ve provided resources, guidance, and reassurance through a very strenuous process. This process would have been very different had it not been handled by them. They’ve made it a personable and tolerable experience while still maintaining a high level of professionalism and demonstrating tremendous skill along the way. I highly recommend them for any legal needs one may have.

Jeff Chabrowe is THE guy to go to for criminal defense in NY. He is experienced, extremely knowledgeable and reasonable. He was proactive, relentless, and an exceptional communicator. He took the time—often outside normal business hours—to respond immediately, ensuring I felt confident and informed at every step of the process.
During an initial consultation, it can be difficult to decipher the truly exceptional attorneys from the rest, as many attorneys have good soft skills and can provide a convincing pitch during consultation. After speaking with four other attorneys, it became clear Jeff was different. He didn’t try to sell me on his expertise, but rather quickly alluded to his background which speaks for itself, and then immediately started strategizing and making phone calls before I even retained him. He is authentic, and the best money can buy. I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have worked with Jeff.

After having spoken with four other DWI attorneys in the Albany region I was recommended to Gerstenzang law firm.
Joe Gerstenzang was the only attorney I spoke with that after listening to our situation, and needs, clearly presented a well thought out strategy that no one else thought of.
Joe Gerstanzang delivered on every strategic position he discussed, and got my daughter across the finish line with the best results ever, and exactly the way he described from Day 1.
Joe’s guidance throughout this ordeal for our family was excellent.
I will always make myself available to be a reference in every way.

Great consultation. Jonathan was very knowledgeable in what I needed help with and made me feel at ease. I spoke with several firms in that area and this firm was one of the 4 that I found to top my list. Before retaining the firm, called in and asked if I could break my payments into 2 payments (before the hearing) and was told NO, they absolutely don't do that which I can understand everyone has their policies but I need to know I am not just a dollar $ign and the firm I choose sees me as a person. I went with a different option.

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional legal representation provided by Togut, Segal & Segal LLP during our recent custody case with Celsius Network.
Bryan M. Kotliar and Kyle Ortiz, the lawyers overseeing our case, demonstrated utmost professionalism and dedication. Their strategic approach and effective communication, including numerous Zoom meetings and timely update emails, greatly contributed to the successful resolution of our case. I especially appreciate their willingness to address unique issues by accepting individual phone consultations.
The court's decision in favor of our case and the subsequent award of our custody assets have brought considerable relief. Despite the financial challenges associated with the bankruptcy process, the support and expertise provided by Togut, Segal & Segal LLP significantly eased the burden.
I couldn't be happier with the level of service and communication throughout this challenging period. Please extend my gratitude to Bryan M. Kotliar and Kyle Ortiz for their outstanding efforts.

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.
