Michael more than a representative he is a friend who cares about helping you to obtain the best results. He got my case dropped and dismiss I’ll say 100% recommended him and his team. 100% satisfied

Michael was very easy to work with and efficient . Got all my charges dropped and dismissed . I would 100% recommend him.

Attorney Borelli is extremely professional, fair and thorough. He handled my case with confidence and made me feel positively reassured throughout the process

I needed a contract for my startup and Michael prepared it for me in less than 2 weeks. I’ve never worked with Michael before and I didn’t feel comfortable going to a lawyer who I didn’t know, but I am so thankful I chose to work with Michael, he was great!! Great communication, I definitely recommend him with any issues that you have. He will advise you, point you in the right direction. And I will definitely go back to him if I need help again! 10/10

I paid 30,000$ and he didn’t show up 2x - go to another lawyer- he is a scheister. He was a criminal attorney- mine was a civil case and he was no way prepared.

Great Attonery and an even better person. Thank you for all your help.

Mr Borrelli represented me on a misdemeanor case that had the potential to have a significantly negative impact on my personal and professional lives. He took my case after I was dissatisfied with my previous representation. The difference was more than appreciable. Mr. Borrelli worked above and beyond my expectations. He started by asking for an initial interview, during which I had the chance to explain my side of the story. He gave me all the time that I needed, and recorded all of my thoughts and leanings. He then explained how the case would be expected to go based on his very significant experience, highlighting general trends and expectations for this sort of case. Finally, he fought extremely hard for the desired outcome, pushing back against initial deals that he didn't think were fair or consistent with expected norms. He was ultimately able to resolve the case with what I thought was the best case scenario, in a context that was very difficult and challenging. I would add two notes here: 1] Although Mr Borrelli now works on the side of the defense, he previously had a long history on the prosecution's side, which gives him not only unique perspectives on their thinking but has also afforded him good contacts and relationships that facilitate negotiation and compromise with them. 2] Mr Borrelli was the second lawyer that I hired on my case, after I was dissatisfied with my intiital attorney. The difference in effort was very apparent. He really did fight hard to achieve our desired result, and went above and beyond in terms of pushing against initial deals offered, and arguing passionately for the result that he felt was the most fair. I fully and passionately recommend Mr Borrelli, and cannot sufficiently convey how much I appreciated his efforts on my behalf.

Michael Borrelli possesses all the skills necessary for a great criminal attorney. He not only has great communication skills, but is as good a listener as he is a speaker. While listening to his clients, he then decides exactly in what manner he will deal with your case. In my case, Michael knew instantly what defense was needed. In addition, his excellent rapport, negotiation & communication skills with the opposing attorney led to a much-reduced charge for me. Michael is extremely knowledgeable about the law, sharp, and on top of his game as a criminal attorney. Michael engaged aggressively with my case and let nothing slip by unnoticed. Not only is Michael intuitive, but he is tough. Michael “stood up for me” vs. prosecutors and threats of the State. Michael was always prepared for court with a command of the laws & facts needed in my situation, as well as knowing the range of potential for outcomes. Michael gives his clients’ 100% of himself and uses his best efforts. I felt that he held himself personally responsible for resolving my case. With 20 plus years of experience practicing criminal law, as well as a prior position in the Westchester DA’s office, Michael knows the legal system. He understood that many times justice is not found in domestic cases, and that charges can be exaggerated or “trumped up” in he said/she said” situations. Michael not only had empathy for my particular legal situation, he understood the serious & negative impact the legal issue had on my life. Not only does Michael have integrity, but cares about his clients and the direction their case is taking. He was also proactive in incorporating the information I provided him into my defense strategy, able to argue forcefully “off the cuff” and was always ready & available to me, without delay. I would absolutely recommend Michael Borrelli to anyone who is looking for a sharp skilled lawyer with the compassion of a friend who is more like family. I was extremely happy with the outcome of what could have been criminal charges. Not only did he have my charges reduced to a violation, but he also went as far as making sure that all my records were cleaned up and deleted from all criminal databases. I’m very grateful for choosing him as my lawyer, and I would not hesitate referring him to all my friends and family. Michael, once again, thank you for everything. Susan Stratis

Michael and his associate Andrew Spatz are the best you can get for any sort of criminal conviction. They’re really knowledgeable of the law, experienced, have close ties to the courts, judges, district attorneys etc. But most of all, they were able to get me out of a criminal conviction as they anticipated and just about guaranteed they would, when I signed my retainer letter (engagement letter). Andrew is really going to give it to you straight, making sure as clients/suspects we do what we are supposed to do in the intern while the court process plays out. Otherwise Michael really knows his criminal law, having served for the District Attorneys office for many years. He will really fight to get the best deal he can for his clients but most of all his knowledge of the system, organized and closes the case with a very detailed and instructional disengagement/conclusion of services letters. He is also very present and there for any questions at anytime, guiding through the process in a very comforting way. Although you are going to pay, you get what you pay for, and their rates are very fair. Overall, as long as you do your part, they are going to do theirs, leaving you to your life, work etc feeling as if your legal troubles are in good hands curbing any stress from the legal woes at hand.

Michael Borrelli recently helped me with my DWI case. Michael exceeded my expectations by far. His experience and professionalism is unmatched. I highly recommend anyone looking for an attorney to hire Michael. I am very grateful for what Michael did for me and I wish him the best. God bless.

Took my money and did nothing for me
