Pros
1
Excellent legal expertise and success in court
“Doug went above and beyond the call of duty for my DUI case. Thanks to his hard work and expertise, I was acquitted by trial. He's a shark in the court room and someone who truly knows the law.”
2
Effective in achieving favorable outcomes, including case dismissals
“The case was dismissed and sealed and I'm a free man. Justice was served!”
3
Thorough knowledge of the law and ability to develop effective legal strategies
“His thorough knowledge and understanding of the law helped allay my fears and concerns. He was adamant about not accepting a plea deal, assured me that a dismissal of the case was more than probable, stuck to the strategy and was persistent in contacting the DA.”
4
Dedication and commitment to clients
“He made it a point to make everyone feel comfortable without divulging confidential information. A true professional!”
5
Excellent communication and client support
“He communicated throughout the entire process reassuring me the entire time that things will be fine.”
Cons
1
Potential lack of responsiveness or communication issues
“The court didn't come and didn't even call me, didn't send a letter to say that it won't be at that date, the court time will be another time, that I didn't come to court reschedule, court, date in vain, since it was beneficial for him and he was not in court, I just wasted time from work, stayed as it was beneficial for him, and so I did, I came from afar. Coldly treated very bad experience without responsibility.”
2
Possible issues with public defenders or legal aid attorneys
“Mr. Cardinali came in late and did not meet with me nor he discussed anything about my case only that he had spoken to Brooklyn Defenders Mr. Baum. Mr. Cardinali used me to cover up for his lateness and used false pretense to get himself out from representing even thought the Magistrate had assigned him to me.”
