After a 2-year court battle over a "right-turn on red" in Manhattan for which the NYPD attempted to criminalize via 2-charges related to DWI and Driving While Impaired, Attorney Rachel Kugel took my case to a jury-trial and won it - receiving a verdict of "not guilty" on both charges. This left me i...n tears because after a two year battle, I felt vindicated and finally a sense of relief. I had no criminal record at the time and continue to have no criminal record due to the thorough lawyering and diligence of Mrs. Kugel. Mrs. Kugel knows the law and she used every avenue she could to ensure that I received a not-guilty verdict. We were up against the testimony of 2 NYPD police officers and a jury of my peers found me not guilty of any wrong-doing. It is disheartening that a prosecutor wasted tax-payers dollars (including mine) and brought a case to trial such as this where clearly there was no evidence to suggest any wrongdoing. Although I have much respect for law enforcement because they protect us everyday, this case proves that they are not always right and we as citizens have a right to challenge them through the legal process. Mrs. Kugel possibly lost money on my case because she had to appear in court alongside me at least 10 times because this case had been drawn out for 2 years unfortunately. She charged me a flat rate and never asked for anything more. This experience has taught me to reflect on certain things relative to society. One of the more reflective moments was the fact that those who may be indigent and not have the means to hire an attorney to defend them have to settle for whatever punishment is passed down to them. It seems extremely unfair that someone's life could be ruined because the police made a judgment call that was proven to be unsubstantiated by a jury in a court of law. I was fortunate to have the means to secure a lawyer and thanks to God I was able to pick the best one..... Attorney Rachel Kugel. It is without a doubt that Attorney Kugel did a yeoman's job on my behalf and I highly recommend to anyone that, if you are in a jam related to a DUI or DWI, you better call Attorney Kugel!

I had gotten in to a car accident and had to get out of the vehicle because I was on the highway. When I had gotten arrested for leaving the scene of an accident DWI and refusing a breathalyzer test, I knew I needed help I looked on the Internet for the best lawyers for my case. Many lawyers popped u...p but Rachel Kugel showed up 5 times. I called 8 lawyers when I narrowed it down, Rachel was top 3 but when I spoke to her she made me feel like she was on my side, and that I had a chance to win with her on my side. I went with Rachel Kugel she was affordable for me even though price was not my concern winning my case was. I drive for a living so my licence is very important. Rachel came up with a game plan and a tough defence for me. After about 7 court appearances we had reach the date that brought my mind to rest. Rachel had gotten my case DISMISSED! I was extremely satisfied with the defence she had provided me and would recommend her to anyone who would ever need a lawyer. Having Rachel Kugel defend you is worth every penny.

Rachel Kugel has an exceptionally strong command of the law, rendering an unparalleled ability to represent her clients. She works with incredibly strong conviction, passion, dedication and diligence; her personal attention and acute focus clearly demonstrate her commitment to representing clients w...ith the highest standard of care and professional service. After an arrest for a DWI, the consequences if convicted would resonate through my own career, my children’s lives, and great financial loss for both me and my family. Other attorneys I had consulted with had suggested that I either plead guilty or try for a plea bargain. Rachel, on the other hand, recognized several subtle but potentially significant flaws in my case (not recognized by all other attorneys I had spoken to prior to Rachel), and went to great lengths to explain these to me - giving me the confidence to go to trial. I did just that. The District Attorney (prosecutor) was exceptionally strong with both evidence and persuasion, posing an incredible challenge. The 5-day trial was exhausting. Throughout the entire week, I had 100% confidence that I had the best representation available. Rachel was able to convince a 6-person jury that I was not guilty on 3 separate charges, and this was no slight feat. During every examination or cross-examination of witnesses, she was able to elicit every single detail - both large and small - to render reasonable doubt, ultimately providing me with an acquittal on all charges. Thank you, Rachel!!
