An Excellent Lawyer!

I hired Mr. Sarno after another lawyer had mishandled my case. He was knowledgeable, thorough and polite. He advocated diligently on my behalf and he was able to settle my case quickly. In sum, he is an excellent lawyer! I could not recommend him more highly.

Until I came on the case, the Prosecutor had no offer for you and you faced the real possibility of having a criminal record for life. I am happy that I was able to effectively negotiate a non-criminal disposition that kept your criminal record clean.

Excellent Job

I was really having hard time finding a good lawyer for my case. Most of the lawyers were talking about getting me an ACD without really hearing about my case. They just wanted to collect the money without doing much work. My case had to deal with police officers who are desperate to hit their arrest... quota than actually upholding true justice. Asaf took his time hearing my side of the story out. He realized there was a big confusion and the arresting officer could have easily let me go that day or give me a summons right there. Instead I had to waste hours for a silly mistake that wasn't even worth more than $2. He worked out a plan on what we need to do. I really liked the fact Asaf made himself available to ask for clarification and questions. We went to the courthouse and my case was dismissed with 1 day ACD. Which is much better than what any of the other lawyers tried offering me. The best I got was 6 month ACD which I felt I could have just gotten myself. Do you think Asaf job ended right there? No! He is now seeking out confirmation from the NYPD and Criminal Justice Division in Albany that fingerprints and photo be removed.

RK, it was a pleasure to represent you. Although the Prosecutor made an initial offer to have your case dismissed in 6 months, I effectively persuaded him that they would not be able to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt because they could not prove that you had an intent to enter the subway without paying. I provided the reasons as to why your case should be dismissed outright and the Prosecutor thereafter agreed to dismiss your case the very next day.

One of the greatest lawyers.

I will admit at the beginning all that Mr. Sarno told me were dreams and possibilities that could never come through in my case. But I have to admit he helped me through out the whole process always kept on top of me and on top of everything in a good manner. The one thing I loved the most was the co...nstant positivity and always being informed about every step of the process. By far one of the best lawyers I have ever encountered. I would definitely recommend to anyone.

Dario, I'm happy the dreams and possibilities I told you about in the beginning of your case DID come true at the end. As with all of my clients (and especially those who wrote a review on this page) , it was a genuine honor, privilege, and pleasure representing you.

Best lawyer and advocate ever!

Asaf is not only an amazing lawyer but also a great human being. I have had awful experiences with lawyers so I was afraid of hiring a new one but he is extremely profesional, honest and he is an expert. He was also very sensitive to my situation. He treated me with respect and dignity. He always kep...t me informed about my case and gave me all the option that I had available so I could chose the best for me. If you need a lawayer, do not hesistate to call.
