Carl Spector a 5 star Strategic lawyer!

Carl Spector is a superb 10 star lawyer. This was my 2nd DWI case, and I was nervous as "bleep"! Within a 5 year grace period I landed a DWI and a DUI charge. Considering that all these charges landed within a 5 year grace period, this made my case challenging! I was a mess with the unknown of potent...ial jail time and charges. My incident occurred in 2012 and was resolved in 2014. You are probably wondering that is a long time to resolve a case. But as Carl informed me "sometimes patience and time works in your favor", it sure DID! The end result was a reduction in my charges. My charges were reduced to a traffic infraction, and all my additional charges were vacated from my record. As a professional it was very important to maintain a non criminal record. The thought of loosing my career because of a DWI would have been devastating and embarrassing. In selecting Carl as my lawyer, the decision was very simple. Carl is a no B.S. kinda lawyer. Carl puts things into perspective and makes no promises. The only promise he makes is the dedication to work hard for you and to give you the best potential results. Mr. Spector is knowledgable within the courts, the court system, and the law. In addition, Mr. Spector was the only lawyer to meet me in person before selecting a lawyer. That was the icing on the cake. A DWI / DUI case is messy and nerve wrecking but Carl made the process less stressful. My best advise is to give him the full details of your case, listen to his advise, and let him take care of the rest. It was hard for me to understand that concept in the beginning. I was hoping for a quick answer and fix. With DWI cases there is no such thing. These types of cases are sensitive, emotional, and strategic. In my opinion Carl is the perfect blend of that. "Carl Spector, you rock"!

Great Experience

Carl Spector was great! He was very knowledgeable, professional & personable. I would definitely hire him again, & would strongly recommend him. I received (2) tickets on the Palisades for a unsafe lane change. One was a traffic violation, & the other an ordinance violation. I was worried that t...he ordinance would affect affect my future due to my profession. He was able to dismiss the traffic violation, & reduce the ordinance violation to a traffic violation with no points. Thank you very much Carl! He was hired for (1) traffic violation & (1) ordinance violation for driving. He got

A grateful client

Mr. Spector is a very knowledgeable and thorough lawyer. He recently represented me in a case in which he clearly researched the law and my situation before arriving at court. He walked me through the process before, during, and after my court appearance. He was very helpful in explaining anything I ...did not understand. I would highly recommend him. P.S. We won the case.

Simply the Best

Carl Spector far exceeded my expectations representing me in a DUI case in NYC. He has years of experience on both sides of the law (as an Assistant District Attorney and Defense Attorney) which is very helpful when navigating through the court process. He is responsive via all forms of communicati...ons (e-mail, phone, etc.) and kept me up to date throughout the negotiations with the DA's office. He is very knowledgeable and quick thinking and I could not have been happier with the outcome of my case (The DA's office agreed to dismiss my case!) I highly recommend Carl to anybody in the NY/NJ area who is faced with a DUI/DWI charge. He has helped me regain control of my life and I am forever grateful.

Flexible, Smart, Dedicated, gets results.

Carl is an great lawyer. He gets results. He guides you through your legal issue and really helps you to understand what is going on. I had never needed a lawyer before and Carl really guided me through my problem. He was personable, always responded to questions and was always available when I neede...d him. Carl put my life back together and I will be forever grateful to him. I can't say enough good things about his work ethic and ability to produce results. My case got dismissed just in 2 sessions. If you're looking for an attorney that is not only successful, but also compassionate and responsive, then I highly recommend Carl. Thanks for all Your work Carl.
