I would like to thank Andrew for helping my family and I when our backs were to the wall. After the sudden death of my attorney, Andrew became a beacon of hope. His calm and his "Colombo like demeanor" in the courtroom demonstrated to us that he was very skilled, knowledgeable about the law and the processes governing a court proceeding which proved successful. We are extremely grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Mr. Andrew Stoll without reservation.

I want to express my eternal gratitude to Andrew Stoll. His efforts and dedication for my father and his case were that of a warrior and a friend. It was a long and upsetting process but Andrew kept us involved and updated through every step of this scary legal process. His intuition, experience and knowledge made it easy to prove my father’s innocence and cleared his name. Andrew advocated hard against the opposition. His Integrity and dedication is most admirable! My family is eternally grateful for his help during such a crucial time of our lives. Just keep calm and call Andrew Stoll  Thank you StollGlickman&Bellina Sincerely, Lorenzo Family

Eli Moore handled our case from start to finish professionally. This took the burden from our family knowing the case was in good hands. It was my first time to hire a lawyer and I’m happy to say that it was a relief to hand over the details to a professional rather than trying to handle ourselves. Would definitely recommend Eli.

I could not say enough kind things about this man . I owned a small hobby farm in upstate NY . I was charged with doing something illegal against the animal welfare act and it was brought down to NYC. I originally hired a firm that told me my case was a win win no problem as they were just collecting money. After a one count conviction in a five day Trial in NYC. I fired the lawyers and hired Richard who was highly recommended by my civil lawyer to handle Post conviction and the sentencing and appeal. It was the best decision I made. Richard is tough but fair and the judge that tried my case in the southern district at sentencing even praised his work . Richard also met with me and the probation officer for sentencing It was very reassuring to have some one in your corner that is fighting for you for me it made all the difference he explained everything and did not let me believe lies thank you for everything Richard.

My journey was a very long one to say the least. However, working with Rakesh allowed me time to see the light at the end of my darkest tunnel. I’ll plea the 5th with the details but imagine doing a 5k run towards the trooper fund and loosing over 14lbs of weight in the process. It was the most expensive workout plan ever lol (I can find the humor at my own expense now that it’s over). The odds were not in my favor at the start line but with Rakesh’s support I was able to finish the race breathing freely. He advised me in the right direction, remained blunt with the facts, and reassured me to the end. To my disbelief he was able to work out every one of my “multiple misunderstandings” and if it wasn’t for his credible knowledge of the law and court processes, this may not have been otherwise possible. Although we had our moments, at the end of it all I cannot thank him enough for his hard work and time devoted to my case and for ultimately keeping my reputation intact! I highly recommend his services to anyone who’s found themselves under deep water! Rakesh, I sincerely appreciate everything you’ve done to improve my future potential! I can finally move forward with my life at ease! You are my hero! I hope to see you in the sunshine!

From our very first meeting, he explained everything to me and what I could expect and answered all my questions no matter what time of day that I asked. This was one of the most stressful and traumatic times of my life and he was my biggest advocate and fought for me without ever letting up until I got the outcome that I deserved.

Derek was recommended to me after I received my first ever DWI charge. I was very nervous about the journey ahead and all that it would entail. Derek was there every step of the way. He helped explain everything so that I understood what was happening at each court hearing and what would be expected as follow up. I could count on him for my many fears and questions and he helped give me peace of mind along the way. Derek is extremely knowledgeable and he always has a bigger picture plan in mind. He won’t get caught off guard by anything and is always prepared for multiple outcomes with a backup ready. He fought hard to ultimately get my charge significantly reduced and I felt like I was in good hands throughout the long process. When faced with a serious charge like this you need to have a lawyer that knows everything inside and out, and that is Derek to a tee. I’m beyond grateful to have found him and would highly recommend him to anyone in a similar situation.

Derek helped me understand the gravity of a DWI charge as well as the potential life-long personal & professional consequences and outcomes, and provided me with expert representation throughout a several month process to achieve a reduction with the best possible results. Derek knows the law and has experience in many town courts throughout the region. He consistently provided me with thorough, honest and legally sound advice. Derek was always straightforward and told me what I needed to know rather than what I may have wanted to hear (he tells it like it is and lets you decide how to proceed). Derek prepared me for each court appearance so I knew what to do and what to expect. Outside of court, Derek and I communicated via cell phone, text and email. Derek’s emails were detailed and exceptionally informative, explained legalities in terms I understood, and having the emails proved to be a valuable resource for me to revisit throughout the process. It is an emotional and legally complicated journey to navigate on top of everything else in life, I absolutely recommend engaging an experienced attorney as soon as possible, and I highly recommend considering Derek. Notably, it has now been 10 months since my case was resolved and just last week during the holidays I had some concerns come up with my court certificate of disposition and DMV driving abstract that affect continuation of auto insurance, and Derek was there to answer my questions and provide guidance.

We have used Randall on a few occasions over the course of 5 years for speeding tickets for teenage drivers. Randall allows us to handle over the phone or via email, allowing us to have a "paper trail" of all of our conversations. Randall has handled multiple incidents and we've also referred him to others that have used him as well. His handling fee is due up front and is very reasonable. He sends us copies of all communications he sends out, and then gets back to us with the plea deals and handles them in court without us ever having to even step foot in a court room. Randall is a name we remember by heart when referring him and while we hope to never need him again, should we need a traffic lawyer, Randall is our guy!

When faced with the daunting challenge of a DWAI (Driving While Ability Impaired) charge, having the right legal representation can make all the difference. I’m beyond grateful to have had Matt Simone by my side throughout this journey. His exceptional legal acumen and compassionate approach transformed what could have been a deeply stressful experience into a manageable and ultimately favorable outcome. My situation was complicated by the fact that I reside in Connecticut, while the offense occurred in Saratoga Springs, New York. This geographic distance added a layer of complexity to an already intricate legal process. From the moment I reached out to Matt Simone, it was clear that his expertise was exactly what I needed. He demonstrated a profound understanding of both New York and Connecticut laws, which was crucial in addressing the unique challenges posed by my case. Matt’s took the time to thoroughly explain the charges, the legal ramifications, and the potential outcomes. His deep knowledge of DUI defense law, coupled with his experience in handling cases in New York, ensured that I was well-informed and prepared for every step of the process. Matt’s willingness to hold my hand through every step was a testament to his dedication. He was always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and provide updates on the case’s progress. His accessibility was a lifeline, especially given the distance between my home and the court proceedings. The ultimate measure of a lawyer’s effectiveness is the outcome they achieve for their clients. In my case, Matt secured an ideal resolution to my DWAI charge. Thanks to his meticulous preparation and strategic advocacy, the outcome was far better than I could have hoped for. Matt’s adept negotiation skills and thorough understanding of the legal system played a crucial role in reaching this favorable conclusion. What truly sets Matt Simone apart from other lawyers is his unwavering commitment to his clients. He demonstrated an exceptional level of dedication, often going above and beyond what is typically expected. Whether it was coordinating with local New York authorities on my behalf or ensuring that I fully understood every aspect of the process, Matt’s efforts were nothing short of extraordinary. In addition to his professional excellence, Matt is a person of remarkable integrity. His honest and straightforward approach was refreshing, and I felt confident that he had my best interests at heart throughout the entire legal process. This trust was critical in a situation where every decision and action had significant implications. If you find yourself in need of a DUI defense lawyer, Matt Simone is the person you want by your side. His combination of legal expertise, personal dedication, and compassionate support make him an exceptional advocate. I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in need of a top-notch DUI defense lawyer. Thank you, Matt, for your unwavering support and for achieving such an outstanding outcome on my behalf.

Matthew Simone was a life saver for me! He got my DWI and refusal to submit a breathalyzer down to an open container where I only paid a fine, completed an alcohol evaluation, and a short course for Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). My arrest record, finger prints and mug shot were sealed and my license was not suspended for a year for refusing the breathalyzer. I also can travel freely back and forth to Canada where my girlfriend lives because of Matt. I was stopped at a checkpoint, only conducted one field sobriety test, did not conduct a breathalyzer test, and was respectful and cooperative with the police. If you were swerving in and out of lanes, stumble out of your car, blow over a .08, and are rude to the police there is only so much that can be done. However, Matt will still fight for you to get you what you want. Remember to set proper expectations and know that a majority of how your case is going to play out depends on your behavior that night. Matt’s communication was also great! If I had any questions or concerns about the legal process he would answer them swiftly and take the time to ensure I understood what was happening. His legal assistant Joselyn was also spectacular! She would get back to me in a timely manner as well and always sent me what I needed, even if I asked twice and forgot that I already had what I needed. 10/10 would recommend! Hopefully we won’t cross paths again, but if we do it feels good knowing Matt is on your legal team!

I have been able to move past this experience - and now have a new job in a highly regulated industry. Background check for the new job came back completely clear. What a relief that my terrible mistake doesn’t ruin my career. Adam also advised me every step of the way on what I needed to do to position my case in the best light before I went to court. I.e. get a drug test, be evaluated for substance abuse. I called Adam looking for help late on a Friday afternoon - Adam answered the phone directly and offered no judgement- just good advice.

I met Benjamin back when I was an adolescent aspiring to be an attorney and he was my younger brother’s basketball coach. Ben’s family and mines would travel along side each other as our boys played travel basketball. We all bonded over meals and shared hotels. Ben supported my dreams and even let me tag along on his cases to experience the real deal. Who would know a decade later I’d need him to defend me, I was at the wrong place and wrong time. I ended in jail , and with 5 felony charges for a crime I did not commit. I was told I would get 3 years in prison and i was having a very hard time in jail that I ended up on suicide watch . Ben moved immediately, I was out of jail in 6 days because he vouched for me. He is a honorable man and to have him as an attorney would be in your best interest. He moves efficiently and effortlessly , I give him 5 stars and I HIGHLY recommend!!

Ben is phenomenal. He is someone you want on your side. He handled my divorce and custody case. He was straightforward, attentive and listened to my concerns, responsive when I sent him questions, and helped me develop several strategies to ensure my best interests were being represented. He isn’t afraid to fight on your behalf and do what needs to be done to stand up for his clients. He was able to get me everything I wanted (full custody) and even things I didn’t know I needed and wanted (a situation where I would be financially secure). He is clever, witty, excellent negotiator, clear skills in verbal and written communication, and thoughtfully strategic.

I suffered domestic violence, I had to leave the house with my son with only the clothes on my back and our lives saved and go to a Safety & Change shelter, I have documented and video evidence of all the violence suffered by me and my son, I have video of my husband's betrayal with another woman. I sought help from the Legal Aid Society because I am undergoing pre-cancer treatment. The Legal Aid Society said they could help me and they did. I was referred to the law firm de Moya & Assoc PC I arrived at the office scared of everything because domestic violence is very difficult, we suffer a lot, we lose our dignity, faith and many other things and we also run out of money. What I heard from de Moya & Assoc PC was; I have to accept my husband's lawyer's conditions because the duration of the marriage was short, 2 years in January 2024. How many years would I have to suffer this violence to be entitled to my personal belongings under US law? I am writing this rant to share with others who experience domestic violence in my case at de Moya & Assoc PC it made it clear that I am not entitled to anything because the domestic violence I suffered was for a short period, HOW LONG DO WE HAVE TO SUFFER DOMESTIC VIOLENCE TO HAVE ANY RIGHTS? so I don't even have the right to my personal goals, I took what was placed outside the house, just a few things, de Moya & Assoc PC said that I have to accept the lawyer's conditions My husband, if I don't do everything, I will have a big problem with the Judge and I will have to pay my husband's lawyer a small fortune.

Yusuf worked collaboratively with us, listened to our ideas, and supported us throughout this extremely stressful time. He was good at explaining all the steps of the process (several times) as the language and procedures were unfamiliar to us. He tried to minimize costs and charged a reasonable retainer. Working collaboratively, we were able to have a "best case scenario" outcome for our son. I highly recommend Yusuf.

Yusuf kept me informed about all parts of my case, followed up on all things that needed followed up and I received what I considered a best case scenario ending to my case, He was also fair in his billing and would trust again with a different case. My case dealt with the Bronx Criminal Courts.

I had the privilege of working with Rachel, and I cannot speak highly enough of her professionalism and dedication. From the outset, Rachel demonstrated a deep understanding of my case and worked tirelessly to provide the best possible outcome. She was always available for thorough consultations and explained every detail of the process with clarity and patience. Her expertise in DWI defense was evident in her strategic approach, and her efforts to mitigate the potential impact on my professional and personal life were greatly appreciated. Rachel's commitment to staying current with the latest defense strategies truly set her apart. Not only did Rachel handle my case with the utmost professionalism, but she also showed genuine kindness and understanding throughout. I am grateful for her support and the positive resolution she helped achieve. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate attorney. She is a true asset to her field and a credit to her profession.

If you’re on the edge as to whether or not to hire the Kugel law firm I hope my review will assist you! I was involved in an accident and got charged with a dui and was a complete nervous and embarrassed wreck. I contacted Kugel Law firm after reading her reviews and that was the best decision I made!

I asked Larry if he could write a legal opinion letter for a DWAI in New York State. DWAI is a unique charge because it is a traffic violation and not a crime and is less severe in seriousness compared to an ordinary DWI. Larry authored a letter explaining what a DWAI is and this letter has proven to be useful for employment and other scenarios. I needed another letter for another purpose and Larry was kind enough to do this for free. He didn't ask for any more money or expect anything in return. Larry is a great lawyer and based on what I have seen goes above and beyond for his clients.

Larry and Mike both worked on my aggravated DWI case and are a shining example of what a law firm should be. They were most helpful from start to finish of a very unpleasant set of circumstances. Providing 'to do' lists both before and after sentencing, answering countless questions I had without hesitation and offering positive support every step of the way. These gentlemen truly care about their clients and it shows. If you find yourself in an unfortunate situation requiring legal representation- look no further! They will help to put your mind at ease when things may appear hopeless. Cannot thank them enough!

After a conversation of 40 minutes I dont gonna keep looking for more Law Firms instead of doing that. I'll call back to Deborah and that's why I've saved the phone number that I used to call.

I'm a lawyer in NYC. I was arrested for misdemeanors and felonies. As a lawyer, I knew what to look for in a criminal defense lawyer--experience. I did not know Mr. Hochberg before retaining him, but am glad to know him now. With his experience, he was able to settle my criminal case quickly and very favorably. The only regret I have is that I did not retain him sooner, as he probably could have obtained an ever better result. I would recommend Mr. Hochberg to anyone. For criminal matters, you want your case handled properly. Mr. Hochberg will give you that peace of mind and more.

I was arrested and charged with 6 felonies and 9 misdemeanors. After i contacted mr. Hochberg he came immediately, we saw the judge and i was set free with no bail. I had an open immigration case so the felony charges were enough to get me deported. This man other than great lawyer is a great person. He treated me like family without even knowing me. I was comfortable to call him anytime and i was stress free going to court. Within 6 months every charge was dismissed. THANK YOU AGAIN Mr. Hochberg

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:

  1. 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.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
