Strongly recommend

I would strongly and without reservations recommend Carl S. Spector to anyone who needs an attorney for a DUI case. When my son was arrested I didn't know where to turn, so I used the internet to research top lawyers. After reading about other people's experiences with Carl Spector, I decided to ca...ll him. He returned my call promptly, and from that very first conversation, I was impressed with his knowledge, accessibility and straight-forward manner. Mr. Spector was there for us every step of the way, keeping us informed, explaining the proceedings and answering all questions. His work and dedication resulted in the best possible outcome for my son: the case was dismissed in both the traffic and criminal court. I am so incredibly grateful to Carl Spector and cannot say enough good things about him.

Best Lawyer in NYC

Mr. Spector is an excellent lawyer and a pleasure to work with. He will fight for his clients using his tremendous knowledge and considerable experience within the NYC legal system. Thanks to him I was able to win not only the criminal case, but also a very stressful refusal hearing so that I was ab...le to continue driving. I would recommend Mr. Spector to everyone, and though I hope I will have no further need for his services, I will be using him as my attorney for the rest of my life.

Carl Spector? You've come to the right place!

Being that this was the first DUI / DWI case was involved in I wasn't sure what to expect. I knew what I wanted the disposition to be but how to get there was a blur so I decided I needed help in the form of Carl Spector. Since inception, Mr. Spector explained what I should expect, what has happened... in previous cases and assured me that he would be there every step of the way, which he was. He was very professional, knowledgeable and was able to get me the disposition I knew I deserved. He kept me in the loop as he spoke to the District Attorney and Assistant District Attorney in an effort to expedite my case and was able to get a resolution in only 2 court appearances. All in all, it was evident since the beginning that Mr. Spector had my best interests in mind. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Spector to anyone who is seeking legal help. Thanks Carl!

Carl gets it done!

Without giving too many details about my case... Carl was able to fix a problem I had that other attorneys didn't think was possible. He is the kind of man that pushes till he gets the right answer. This is a excellent quality for a attorney. His dedication to fight for me was second to none. I'm not... the kind of person to easily recommend anyone, but in the case of Carl Spector he comes highly recommended by me.

Knowledgeable Lawyer That Works in Your Best Interest

My partnership with Mr. Spector was brief but, he always kept me informed. He knows the legal proceedings well, which can be very intimidating if you go to court representing yourself. He discusses all the possible outcomes with you so you know what you are up against and any risk(s) involved and str...ategizes with you as to the best approach for your defense. He is well respected by colleagues and law enforcement personnel. Mr. Spector was able to downgrade an improper left turn violation into an improper procession with no points on my driving record. I was pleased with the end result. He is definitely a rare commodity that works for you and not against you. Thank you Carl for your service in representing me. A job well done! Wishing you continued success!!!
