Experience and determination to win your case!

The start of the year was a roller coaster, getting a DUI was not at the top of my list for the start of the year; but hey, unfortunate events occur everyday. For me the DUI was a huge set back, having to worry about losing my drivers license was not the most easiest thing to have on the back of ...you're mind. Knowing that you might not be able to drive for 3plus month depending on how bad your case is, so I did my research. Talked to almost 6 lawyers about my case, but none really seem to give me a positive vibe on being able to win my case. I than found the Kugel law firm, and had a phone interview about my case with a wonderful lady name Linda. Which Linda handles in coming cases for the Kugel law firm before talking to the main lawyer Rachel Kugel. I have to say Linda was the most welcoming person I've ever had the pleasure to speak with. Super understanding and straight to the point. "You might not win case, but the Kugel law firm would do its best to win the case no matter what or how long it takes". I than retained the Kugel law firm. The same day the Kugel law firm contacted the court and made a plea of "Not guilty" on my behave. Six months later my lawyer Rachel Kugel got my case dismiss. Let me tell you something the six moths going back-and-forth from court date to court date we're not easy, but the reassurance of Rachel Kugel made those six months pass like nothing happen had happen. The day of my final day of court I got there early and sat on a chair near the court room waiting patiently for my lawyer to arrive. The prosecutor so happen to step out from the court room, as I sat near and started a conversation about my case with an officer and another lawyer that was there at the time, not realizing I was seating not to far away from them. As the prosecutor was talking about my case, the officer asked who was the lawyer handling the case, prosecutor than said "Kugel law firm", the officer laughs and says "You won't win, if you take it to trial". The prosecutor then responds To the officer and the lawyer that was giving his input on the case, and goes, "I don't see the court winning the case I'll have to dismiss it". My heart started to race with excitement. Right there and than I knew I had made the best investment and judgment of my life. Just with the name of The Kugel Law Firm behind me, made the biggest difference in the court room. I looked around and saw many Other lawyers, but none had the experience and the determination of getting your case resolved as Rachel Kugel. Trust and believe in your lawyer. I put my life on her law firm, and now I'm free from this burden. You won't regret hiring Rachel kugel. Be aware that it's a process which takes time. So please be patient, positive and Rachel Kugel will take care of the rest.

the Best of the Best

What we went through when my wife got her third DWI arrest was the worst nightmare that anyone could imagine. After having been so poorly represented legally on the first and second DWIs, we were about to give up on any hope for some kind of legal help, this time. Not quite so. Tenaciously I star...ted a very exhaustive research until I came across with attorney Rachael Kugel. Without wasting any time, I made a telephone call and had the pleasure of speaking with Linda, The Kugel Law Firm paralegal. The first words I heard from Linda were “We will work very hard to keep her out of jail”. They had just earned my trust. Attorney Rachael Kugel took our case and handled it in such a professional way that not only kept my wife out of jail but also found the way to have the first offense dismissed and downgrade the third one to reckless driving with a six month driver’s license suspension. Isn’t that amazing?. Amazing indeed but no doubt the result of an overwhelming knowledge of the law system and been possessed of great professionalism We are so grateful of attorney Rachael Kugel that I often pray to my good lord for the successful outcome of all of her entrusted representations. What a remarkable human being Mrs Kugel is. Thank you Mrs Rachael Kugel. May god bless you and your entire family forever.

2nd DWI case dismissed!

Rachel Kugel is the best Dui/dwi lawyer in NY hands down. I got my first dwi when I was 19 and the second one when I was 22. Though I was convicted for a DWAI for my first offense which only made it harder for the court to give me a break for my second offense, somehow Rachel pulled some strings and ...got my second dwi offense dismissed/sealed! I'm grateful that Rachel represented me. Thank you Rachel!

Eased some of the stress...

I came across Kugel law firm when I got in trouble a while back for a DUI, after speaking to two other attorneys prior, who made me feel worse after speaking to them. Kind of hard to go into court with your first DUI, with an attorney who makes you feel like you should be UNDER the jail. Rachel and I...'m sorry I forgot her office managers name, Patty, I think (sorry it was a while ago), weren't like that. The two just made the process a little less stressful and eased some of my panic. Both ladies stayed calm, were straight forward and I never felt like it was a battle dealing with them. I stated what I hoped my outcome was and if it wasn't realistic, they would tell me. There was never a time I couldn't get a hold of them. My outcome was more positive than I expected. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! As much as I liked the ladies, I hope that I will never have to use Rachel's services again but I would gladly recommend and use it in a heart beat if needed. I couldn't have asked for a more professional, efficient attorney!...A.R

A gift from God !

Let me start by saying that I was pulled over for a DUI over a year ago. My life was a total disaster. I was devastated, this meant if I was convicted I would lose my job and being in Sales this would prevent me from ever getting a decent job it would be in my record and no one will hire me with a DU...I on my record. I was in a total panic, I never needed a lawyer for anything. I spoke with 5 different lawyers and everyone of them gave me the cost and painted a picture of doom and gloom. They never gave me any hope of ever beating the DUI charge, All I heard is your looking at 7 months license suspension maybe even a year. These guys had every intension of just going through the motions and taking every penny and just strike a deal at best. I then contacted Rachel's office I then was taken care of by her assistant by the name of Linda. She explained the whole procedure along with the cost with no hidden charges very upfront and honest to the core. I then received a phone call from Rachel who then proceeded to calm me down and gave me hope and reassurance, She told me it would be an uphill climb but by no means a no win situation. I told my wife that she has given me hope and made my life a little better since the incident. I was able to sleep after I spoke to her and she went out of her way to explain how we would proceed. I spent 13 months with this hanging over my head if it wasn't for her I would not have known what to do. She is above all caring, sincere, and compassionate to your situation. She went above and beyond for me, I am eternally grateful to her. Rachel is a gift from God who I thank every day that I made that phone call to her. God Bless you and Linda you my my sincere gratitude .. God Bless You Both !!!
