I honestly can say one of the best attorneys around. he works hard an fights only for the best for his clients. he's a very nice an respectable guy. Also the team is absolutely fantastic!! if you ever get into a accident or have any injuries case. Mr.Matthews hymowitz rice is the best attorney for you!! Hands down!!!

Jonathan Ripps handled my wife’s case. She received a summons and was facing 5 points and a large fine. He was able to plead it down to a minor offense with zero points. He was courteous, replied quickly to any and all questions and made the entire process smooth. He’s without a doubt a great attorney.

Jay was very helpful in the eviction process of someone that was in our house for 9 months and then pointed us in the right direction to leverage ERAP.

I was so thankful to be recommended to call Fellows Hymowitz Rice when I got into a car accident on the GWB in New York. I conveniently met with Steven Hymowitz at his office in New City. They handled my case very professionally and went above and beyond to make sure all paperwork and history of my treatment was correctly documented and reported. I was so happy to be assigned to Martha, his paralegal. Together they advised and supported me through the entire process, and fought until I received what Mr. Hymowitz felt was fair. I highly recommend them to anyone needing legal help!! Ask for Steven Hymowitz and Martha!

Attorney Brandon Ripps is friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and a good human being and lawyer overall. His demeanor, attitude, character, and kind personality is exactly what one needs when looking for a criminal lawyer. I was made to feel comfortable right from the beginning to learn more about my case, and felt confident Brandon is the man for the job. I would choose him every time. I highly recommend this lawyer and his law firm.

Matt Rice is an A++ lawyer. He is an excellent communicator, who really cares for his clients. His legal skills are par excellence. We found him to be ethical, knowledgeable, thoughtful and likable. He goes the extra mile for his clients, makes you feel at ease, and you know you are in good hands. With his high level ability, and tenacious and and persistent lawyering, he achieved our desired goals. We are very fortunate to have had Matt in our corner. We cannot thank Matt enough for his work on our behalf!

Jon was very professional and always kept me in the loop. I really appreciated how responsive and helpful he was in getting my case resolved in a timely manner. Highly recommended!! Thanks Jon!!

Jonathan B Ripps is the best lawyer that you can possibly have if you have serious charges pending. Ripps defended me in 3 different indictments and he got me the best disposition possible... Matter fact the disposition he got me is unheard of. All these cases were felonies, one was for criminal mischief and I got time served. The other one was a drug sale charge I caught while I was on bail for an Attempted Murder indictment spanning 5 charges including possessing a firearm. I was charged with Attempted Murder 2nd, reckless endangerment 1st, attempted assault 1st, possession of a firearm 2nd and another related felony. Attempted Murder 2nd is a class B felony with a minimum time of 5 years state prison. My first offer was 15 years... I’ve had a lot of criminal lawyers but his dedication to you and his commitment is unheard of. He emailed my loved ones everyday for updates and visited me in Rockland County Jail at least once a week. I’ve read a lot of different motions off the law library, Ripps sent me a few motions that he wrote and they were the best I’ve seen. He put up a great defense, getting my offer down by half at first, then he even got my bail reduced and got me out on bail for 1/2 of the original cost. I eventually came back to county jail for the drug sale charge. This man is not just a lawyer, he is a great person and treats his clients like his family. I have severe mental health problems and he would call me when I was on bail to talk to me and help me. Ripps got a 15 year offer down to a indeterminate 1-3 YOUTHFUL OFFENDER sentence. This means I have no convictions on record because I was 16 at the time of the crime. At sentencing, Ripps was aggressive and shut down the DA who was trying to give me more time. I got a favorable offer and the drug charges got ran concurrent. I pled guilty to a YO of a class B felony and a class D felony and got 1-3 years no parole. A regular lawyer would get you what the sentencing guidelines state for the minimum of that felony. I got a fraction of the minimum sentencing guidelines for a class B felony. Even when I went into DOCCS, Ripps would call me to just chat. The case is over and there was no more litigation but Ripps is such a great person that he talked to me and even wrote me letters of comfort when I was in solitary confinement. Ripps has also made other cases magically disappear. He used to work for the DA’s office a while back so he knows the ADAs and the DA. Not to mention he knew every judge I went to for criminal charges. This means he is comfortable with them and can negotiate and get a favorable result. He will write up amazing motions and bring up strong defense for the case, but at the same time he will passionately explain to his ex colleagues and judges what really happened. Courts look at the black and white documents and determine your sentence by that. Ripps actually talks to the judge and the DA about your case in private in the chambers. He will tell them what really happened, At first I had a public defender and the DA painted my picture as if I am a monster. Then I got Ripps and he explained to them what really happened and showed the judge I am a human. Even when I had no pending charges and the case was closed and I was in DOCCS he did what lawyers don’t often do and actually wrote multiple letters for my parole hearing. I was denied and ended up doing the whole 3 for other reasons I won’t mention. The whole 3 years in prison Jon was by my side. My first week out I visited his office and talked. I agree he is expensive but I have had multiple different lawyers and I got to say it’s the best decision you will make. He is a great lawyer, a great person and even more a great friend. He will be there for you on the inside and out. He will represent you to his fullest ability. From experience the lawyers I had before are not on the level of Ripps at all. Ripps a different breed. Even the county Supreme Court judge Russo asked me in the end if I am happy with my representation. He didn’t let me answer, he just said “you definitely should be.” 10/10

Jon came highly recommended. He was easy to work with, professional, well prepared and reasonably priced. I highly recommend him!

Jon was referred by a friend to handle a traffic violation and I could not have been happier with his services from the first phone call to the resolution of my case, which Jon was successful in negotiating down to a zero-point infraction. Jon is attentive, responsive, listens well and is very good at what he does...could not ask for more of an attorney.

There is no one better than Mr. Ripps.
