DUI dismissed

my friends said it was near impossible to beat a DUI in new jersey , specially since it was my 2nd time The penalties for DUI are very severe and unfair for cases where you didn't caused any harm to others. I knew I was not guilty and i needed a lawyer that believe in me and would do everything pos...sible to fight for me . At first, I did not think there was a chance of me beating this case. But once I met Rachel , her expression of confidence gave me hope. Rachel and her team kept in touch with me through out the entire case , answered all my questions and explained the best options to fight my case. also if your going to be stuck going to court for next 5 months might as well have a pretty face in that court room next to you ... nah but in all seriousness I'm still in shock and so happy , feels good to get my life back. I will recommend Rachel to all my friends and family. Every case is different , but if you want to get your moneys worth Rachel Kugel is the one. Special thanks to Linda as well.

The best DUI attorney period

Rachel Kugel is the best DUI attorney in NY and NJ. I should know since I just walked out of court after my 4th DUI. She petitioned to reduce my DUI offense to a 3rd, and sentencing reduced to a 2nd. This is so significant. So instead of 180 days "mandatory" jail, (with successful petition), she was ...able to plea bargain to reduce my sentence to inpatient treatment which will count toward time served of only 30 days. For me, this DUI was very stressful, but Rachel was always professional and never mislead me or gave me false hope. She was able to drag out the process 6 months so I can gather my business affairs before going to treatment/jail. One flat rate charge and she appeared 4 times at court for me. Great...Great ...and Greatful

Best High Profile DUI?DWI Attorney

I had the opportunity to work with Rachel Kugell on my nephew's high profile case of DUI/ DWI with charges including manslaughter in the 2nd degree for which I am grateful to Rachel Kugel expertise in reducing the charges to simply paying a fine. There were times I was doubtful of the outcome but... when I saw Rachel Kugel in action I felt hopeful. Rachel's broad knowledge and strong determination to win a case of this magnitude raise my confidence in her. What a smart attorney! She listens at the evidences and knows when to attack and present to the jury facts that resonate with them. This is a lawyer you must take to represent you in any disaster.Rachel works tirelessly with her clients providing information and some emotional support . She is the BEST!!. Thanks to you Rachel.

Awesome Representation

Rachel was awesome! I was approached for a DUI in Jersey. I fell asleep behind the wheel. They took me into the precinct and administered a breathalyzer test then released me. Immediately, I looked for several lawyers for consultation. I diligently searched Aavo to find prospective lawyers. I calle...d Rachel's office and spoke to Linda who was so knowledgeable and patient. She provided me with all the info I needed. I was still undecided about a lawyer and a week prior to the court date, I called Linda and Rachel. They were so great to take my case at the last minute. Rachel attended every court date. Thank goodness I paid a flat fee. I believe it was about 3 court dates. One of the court dates, Rachel advocated and I didn't need to attend which was great because I couldn't afford to miss work. On the last court date, my case was dismissed. There was insufficient evidence that I was under the influence behind the wheel and my breathalyzer came back 0. The police department didnt administer a urinr test to prove intoxication. These were all points Rachel made in court. I realize everyone's case is different so I strongly suggest you do your research. I ultimately decided to go with Rachel because a) Linda was very knowledgeable re: consultation, b) there was a flate fee, c) Rachel has a substantial amount of experience in this field and has worked in the Jersey court room many times.
