Firstly, Warren never asked me to review him. I offered him a review 2-3 months after resolution of my case. Till Mar 2020, I had never had to step inside a police station in my life. My last traffic ticket was a speeding ticket in college a decade and a half back! I was arrested for DWI and Refusal, in what Warren later told me (corroborated from other sources online), was a particularly tough county and court for DUI/DWI. Immigration was my first and only thought since I'm on a long term work visa. I was issued the standard 5 or 6 tickets - reckless driving, careless driving, DUI, etc. I called a couple of attorneys but really felt a connection with Warren - he was kind, compassionate, non judgemental and seemed really knowledgeable even on that first call. More importantly, he did not make promises just to win a client - he was realistic about the tough nature of the court my case was in. The prosecutor refused any type of a 'deal' and wanted a guilty plea (in NJ, 'deals' are forbidden for DUI). This was not acceptable to me. Warren and I had many calls (we got time as things were delayed due to Covid) on this and he's always super easy to contact - just leave him a note on his portal and he gets back pretty quickly with a slot for a call. We ultimately decided that we will go for a trial (in NJ, not more than 2-3% DUI cases go to court). I attended two sessions virtually and the trial was set in person. Warren was a super star lawyer in court where he got the arresting officer to admit to lapses in procedures in front of the judge. I could clearly see the intense annoyance on the face of the prosecutor, during Warren's cross examination of the arresting officer, who perhaps had thought that it was going to be an easy case for the prosecutor. An independent witness I had retained also confirmed that for this particular court, it would be near impossible to get both the DUI and the Refusal dismissed. In the end, Warren managed to get almost all of my tickets (including DUI) dismissed. I pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of Refusal because to me that was better than trying the judge's patience by refusing to co-operate. I wasn't willing to take the risk of putting the judge in a position to decide. I did have to get a breath test device installed in my car for one year and there's some amount of pain in that but my fears about immigration status was over after the DWI dismissal. Refusal is a non-moving traffic offense that stays on your license for ever but stops counting after 10 years. I do not ever intend to put myself through this experience. I can highly recommend Warren. He will do the best for you and will always have time for you. You aren't just a client or a number for Warren - you're someone he wants to save. People make mistakes and blunders but just as he did for me, Warren on your side will definitely be a good thing. Maybe not so much for the prosecutor though! If you're reading this, you've probably in a similar situation to me. Give Warren a call before deciding on an attorney!

I retained Sutnick and Sutnick in mid-2019. My allegations included two felonies, a DUI, three criminal violations, and about 3 moving violations/traffic tickets. At the time I also had an opening A Misdemeanor case in NY. Laura appeared with me at my first two court dates; first in Superior Court and afterwards when we got good news that the case would be dropped down to Municipal Court. On my third and final Court date, Warren took over. He was able to negotiate a plea with the DA that included NO CRIMINAL CHARGES (with Laura's help behind the scenes I'm sure, as she worked on the majority of my case). I couldn't have imagined that kind of result in a million years when I was initially handcuffed with one hand to a bench on the ground at the local precinct. I can't express enough gratitude to both Laura and Warren for their hard work, effort, and determination, which ultimately gave me my life back. One final thing I'd like to make special note of is Warren's professionalism and clear experience handling himself in the Courtroom. When I appeared at my last Municipal Court date, he had already worked out the plea agreement, he made a special point to tell me I'd be appearing in front of a pretty strict judge, and he gave me specific pointers on how to respond to lines of questioning. After the plea was worked out, Sutnick & Sutnick were even able to pay my final fees to get my driving privileges back without me having to take public transportation from NY to NJ to pay in person; I was able to pay from the comfort of my home and finally put the entire nightmare behind me. I really cannot thank both Warren & Laura enough and I would absolutely recommend them - without any hesitation - to anyone facing an open criminal case in NJ.

He is a Genious! I'm an Immigrant and got a DUI for the 1st time and have been to Jail for a few hours to take the breath analyzer. I was totally in a panic state, I don't know what to do, what are the consequences, what happens to my future. After my friend bailed me out started researching the lawyers. I have met New Jersey's top lawyers and almost everyone said what would be the consequences but I was not confident and not comfortable with the lawyers I have met. But I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Warren S Sutnick! He is a true gentleman, I have mailed him my tickets after a few days he asked me to visit his office. He was very polite and said the same consequences which I heard before but he was upfront what would be the results and I was ok with that. I was amazed by the way Mr. Warren has handled my case, I just only went once to the court and that's the final hearing. I refused the breath analyzer which was a serious issue and I was nervous about it but those charges have been removed and my license was suspended only for 3 months. I was super happy with the results. I will surely recommend if anyone of my friends needs legal help in NJ. Warren - YOU ARE AWESOME!

I have an extremely hard case. It involves seeking justice for wrongful termination/whistle blower with my employer of 14 years. I don't know many who would spend the time, or expend the energy, for this type of case, as they are long, very drawn out processes. From the moment I met Jared at the intake, I knew he would be able to handle the particulars of my case. He listened, he assessed, and he could easily identify important details. Going in, I knew what was ahead of me, that this was not going to be simple litigation. This could possibly take many years and alot of money. I was committed to seeking the justice I deserved. Most importantly, Jared was committed to seeking the justice I deserved. I knew I could not just dump my case on Jared and expect him to do all the work, so I explained that through every step, I was available and ready to help in the pursuit. As expected, this case has been very difficult and most exhausting at times. Jared stuck by me every step of the way. Often, I did not even have to convey my outlook on proceedings, and Jared already knew my perspective, additionally adding his own outlook and expertise. Dedication beyond expectation, he was so committed to the pursuit of justice, he even took on several unrelated matters that arose in this legal nightmare, keeping my case on track and moving forward. The case is now at Appeal. I am most excitedly looking forward. Jared is intelligent, hard working, diligent, passionate, caring, honest, highly knowledgable/skilled in the practices of law, and committed to the best possible outcome. If you need legal representation, I highly recommend his services. If you are simply looking to score a few bucks, look elsewhere. Jared is professional at its best.

During a very uncertain moment and unsure if a pending third party matter would have a negative effect in my life I turned to Mr. Sutnick for answers. Based on reviews I expected a true and knowledgeable professional. What I didn’t expect was so much empathy and reassurance during a phone call. While I may not need to hire him for this particular matter Warren is now on speed dial and I can recommend him to just about anybody during a difficult time. What a wonderful human being and what a wonderful attorney. Precise, prompt and courteous service. Thank you.

Mr. Geist gave great, honest advice on my case and I was so impressed with his knowledge of the law. He responded promptly to all communication and worked quickly and diligently on my situation. Although he is extremely busy, he made me feel like I was his most important client and gave me the impression that he indeed did genuinely care about my individual case and it's outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Geist.

I retained Warren Sutnick after being involved in a complicated DWI matter. After speaking with multiple lawyers in criminal defense, Warren was, by far, the most knowledgeable and qualified. Simply, he knows the law. Attorneys might tell potential clients about over-eager outcomes. That was not the case with Warren. He laid everything out for me clearly and concisely. He informed me about every possible outcome and did not pressure me in the slightest. Warren is very responsive and patient. He is also a well-known and respected attorney. Warren was able to secure the best possible outcome for my case, which was complicated and somewhat unusual. I would recommend him to friends and family alike. Thank you!
