She saved my Life - DWI Case Dismissed !!

As a consultant, almost every client I advise requires a background screen prior to on-boarding. With a DWI on my record, there could've been a high chance of me losing my job within just a few months. Rachel demonstrated outstanding intuitive ability, knowing exactly when to be patient (by staying u...nder the Section 30.30 radar) and when to push back (via motions to dismiss for lack of discovery evidence). But over and above the tremendous legal acumen, what I think really sets Rachel apart from the pack is her astoundingly unassuming positive attitude. You'll be surprised how far a friendly smile and a little sense of humor can go in a court room oozing with gloom and depression. Among the 20-30 other lawyers I saw over the 8 month duration of my case (literally from a visually impaired old-timer with a walking stick to a fist-pumping Rastafarian) only one other lawyer commanded similarly respectable demeanor and court presence as Rachel. In fact, I will never forget the moment on that final day of my case - when Rachel swiftly countered the Prosecutor's mistake with a "Second-Call". It was like a scene out of Suits with Harvey Specter - and I feel like the entire courtroom was stunned in awe at that moment... a minute later the prosecutor stood corrected and my case was dismissed. Trust me, words cannot do this review justice. If you or a friend are in need of support defending a DUI/DWI charge, just stop right here and pick up the phone! This city is lucky to have her.

Case Dismissed - She is amazing!!!

Rachel was recommended to me when I got a DWI in New York and now I can't imagine using anyone else! Both her and her assistant Linda always made me feel at ease while in a super stressful situation. She took the time to explain the process and my options thru the whole thing. Getting the case dism...issed surpassed my expectations!! I couldn't be happier!

The perfect Law firm for you! Job well done!

Thans to Rachel Kugel Law firm my case was solve to the minimum sentence . I made a terrible mistakes driving under influence of alcohol early in the morning not knowing that my level of alcoholis over the limit even that i was drinking the night before. Irecieve 7 tickets on the place of small acide...nt and Rachel was able to dismiss 5 of them on the first hearing. Was charge with 3rd deegry assault by auto , but she fight the prosecutor decision and resolve the case by appealing and my sentence was downgraded 2 steps down to Disorderly person assault by auto which is not a felony charge. Iam on probation now for a short time /less then a year/. Linda , her assistant was so kind and did her job perfectly as well. Thanks to Rachel we spoke with Imigration attorney Mr. Shulman from Elmood Park Nj. and he directed as with advice about Imigration concecveansis if the case was not downgraded , cause i was waithing for my permanent residence . Thank you Rachel and Linda for your support.!!

THE BEST

I don't think I could have hired anyone better than Rachel Kugel. The whole process of a DWI trial can be very emotional drained and Rachel knowledge and kindness made feel very confident. I had been accused of leaving a scene of an accident besides DWI and had 2 cops and a civilian witnessed agains...t me. Rachel found a number of misconduct of the cops and had a 5 star performance during the trial one could clearly see that she masters this matter. The verdict of the Jury was Not Guilty and I will be always Thankful to Rachel and Linda, her assistant . Expect nothing but the best and most likable and professional lawyer in case you hire Rachel

Won my DUI case!

nd I hired Rachel based on her experience and professionalism I had read about her. I search relentlessly online for an experienced lawyer in DUI cases, especially one that knew how to win a case when I, the client, was not even driving under the influence. I was parked, waiting for my ride with my c...ar on, because it was 30 degree weather. So, based on that my car was on, the cop slapped me with a DUI for refusing to take a breathalyzer, because I felt it was not warranted as I was not driving. Linda, Rachel's right hand, always called me, reassuring me Rachel will handle my case and do her best to fight for my rights. Always calming my nerves and reassuring me I had hired the best of the best to beat this. And, trust me, I called Linda A LOT! And, over time, Linda knew how to calm me down, as I had never been convicted of such a thing in my life! In the end, WE WON!! She came through, with her great knowledge, experience and professionalism! I recommended Rachel to other friends that have fallen in this terrible dilemma, and were also satisfied with their results. Thank you, Rachel and especially Linda for your thoughtfulness throughout my case, and always being present when I reached out. I highly recommend Rachel Kugel and Linda if you want a higher percentage to winning and not treating you like a dollar sign. Which is what I felt when I called to inquire on other attorneys.
