Expert Legal Help

When my son had an incident in NYC I called three lawyers seeking help. Carl Spector was the only one who took the time and effort to explain in detail the situation and the ensuing ramifications. It became clear during our conversation that he was the best man for the job and I immediately engaged h...is services. Through the course of my son’s DMV refusal hearing and the subsequent Criminal Court case, both of which dragged on for months, Carl Spector was always professional, well prepared and informative, explaining and reviewing each step of the process with us. I am very happy to report that Mr. Spector’s skill proved my son’s innocence beyond any doubt and got both cases dismissed and my son completely exonerated. I highly recommend Carl Spector to anyone seeking expert legal help.

Carl was great!

Even before I hired Carl, he went out of his way to give me help. I was confused on what I was being charged with because this was the first time I was ever charged with a crime. I was charged with public exposure ( I was having sex in my car.) Carl looked up the statute I was being charged with, ga...ve me advice, and even met with me before I hired him. Carl helped me get the case dismissed and was a great help. He kept me informed and was honest with me. I recommend him to anyone facing charges, and I think he would be of great help if you hired him.

Completely satisfied!!!

I would highly recommend Carl Spector for any help with legal troubles. I was referred to Mr. Spector by a lawyer in Florida, and was completely satisfied with the help I received.

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!

Excellent Legal Representation

After a long dry spell of not getting trouble I managed to get myself arrested twice in the same month(first and last, go figure). The first charge was a criminal mischief case where I was accused of breaking a window at a bar that I did not break... all over a disagreement and the bouncer not wa...nting to be wrong! Well, Carl got that case outright dismissed! The second charge was for aggravated dwi, although I was not driving my parked car, I had the keys in my pocket. I actually blew and it was 0.210.... I also said something in slurred slang that the cop twisted into me admitting to driving. Now even though I was not driving and the cop actually wrote on the police report that there were no witnesses to my operating the vehicle... it's the cops word against mine and the supposed admission of guilt but me in a bad spot for trial. In the end, I had to either go to trial with the da having the cops testimony against mine or take a plea.... Carl was able to get the charge reduced to DWAI which is not a crime but a traffic infraction. This wasn't even supposed to be possible being that I blew so high! At the end of the day, I would Recommend Carl for any area of law he practices! He always answers the phone and if he does not, he makes sure to shoot over a text saying he will call back ASAP. He is very knowledgeable and seems to have a good relationship with the DA's (at least in Brooklyn). Some may second guess his pricing but its well worth it. You get what you pay for and I feel I have gotten way more than I expected!
