Dui

I had a dui in Brooklyn and it felt like the end of the world for me. I thought my job was gonna fire me and I would be hit with fines that I could not pay. I came across Mr.Spector on Avvo.com and figured I'd get a consultation because of his good reviews. I couldn't have been any happier with his s...ervice and the result of my case . Not only was the DUI dropped but all I had to pay was a parking fine. I couldn't have had a better experience with a lawyer like Carl Spector . He's very intelligent and answers all your questions so you understand completely.

Practical Lawyer

I approached Carl back in August for a DWI charge in NJ. I had one of those cases where it was clear cut that I would plead guilty. On the day of the hearing he somehow made a deal which would reduce my penalty by 50%. One thing I know for sure is that he does not sugarcoat his answers, and is very c...lear on the pro/cons of every decision you will make. I believe this crutial factor makes Carl stand out than other lawyers.

Thank you Carl!

I can wholeheartedly recommend Carl Spector to anyone out there that has had the misfortune to get a DWI. I'm a 46 year old professional who was pulled over in NYC after a birthday celebration and booked for DWI and possession. Not a typical night for me and not my finest hour! Shortly after get...ting out I found Carl on line and contacted him. He was very reassuring and non-judgmental. Carl was extremely easy to get a hold of and always answered my emails or voice mails immediately. He contacted the prosecutor assigned to my case, who happen to be someone he used to work with and plead my down. Instead of a DWI and Possession I was only charged with a DWAI and Disorderly Conduct [both are "violations" and not "crimes"]. So thanks to Carl I have no criminal record.

Excellent person

Mr. Spector is a great person. He was professional, firm, straight to the point, yet also had a light hearted sense of humor. He was very knowledgable of the criminal justice system, and seemed like he'd been doing this for years. I had a trespassing case which was potentially going to give me a perm...anent misdemeanor but he got me an ACD! Very good lawyer, highly recommended.

Knowledgable and responsive attorney

I am from New York and contacted Mr. Spector regarding an outstanding DUI charge. He was very responsive and helpful, he immediately started the process and informed me along the way. His experience as a past prosecutor was evident once we were in court, this knowledge was invaluable in my defense. H...e was thorough in his research and presented the facts to the court and was able to get the charges dismissed! I was amazed and thankful that I chose Carl as my attorney, his professionalism and due diligence were pivotal in my case and ultimately persuaded the court to return a favorable decision. I would highly recommend him -he did an excellent job for me!!
