The most outstanding Lawyer I ever knew...

Mr. Spector, handle my case in a Outstanding way. He was very caring to me and my children. He knows the law 100%. He takes the time to listen to you while he takes notes. He asks questions only pertaining to your case. He gives you a background on what might happen and might not happen. My case ...was very serious. And if I didn't have Mr. Spector at my side I would still be in prison. I would recommend Mr. Spector to anyone who wants results and not just promises. He's a professional in every way. And he does have a caring heart. This makes him a very special person in my eyes.

Knowledgeable, Strategic, Experienced

Every lawyer has three pile of case files that are set on their desk. These piles are set accordingly: The first pile; consists of cases where the lawyer knows there is no luck for the client, the cases that might as well get thrown into the garbage. The second pile; consists of cases where the ...lawyer can lower the charges from an outrageous charge, to a more fair charge. The third pile; consists of cases where the lawyer can guarantee clients their freedom back. However, unlike every lawyer, Carl Spector only has that third pile sitting on his desk. Why? Because NOT ONLY is Carl Spector knowledgeable, strategic, and experienced, but mainly because he is a confident lawyer who is well spoken in front of any judge. Carl's knowledge, experience, and strategic ways, was able to get my case (Felony B) dismissed. Being a caring lawyer, Carl always kept me updated with phone calls and e-mails. He even spent extra time getting a certificate of disposition for me on the same day that my case was dismissed. Overall, I cannot thank Carl Spector enough. If I hadn't chose Carl Spector, I am sure that i would have spent at least 6 months in Rikers Island, AND had probation for 4 years. Thank You Carl Spector, you are the Man!

One in a Million

I opted for Mr. Spector to represent my 16 y/o son after coming across this site and I thank God that I retained him. My son had found himself in a complicated situation and had ended up with 3 traffic charges including DUI and CDS in a MV and an additional related juvenile criminal charge. It was a ...really stressful period. I called Mr. Spector at 11 pm after I had called one other lawyer that I would have settled for had I not found these reviews. Within half an hour, Mr. Spector returned the call, he patiently listened to our situation and immediately granted us an appointment. He is very thorough and diligent. He laid out the case for us and told us what the possibilities were. I was afraid that our cases would go on for months as the combination with the juvenile charge was tricky. Carl Spector worked with us closely, always calling to update us. Although busy, he always had the time when I called him for any reason. Further to this he was extremely understanding and even called on a lawyer friend of his to advise on the juvenile part of the case. My son and I both agree that Mr. Spector is a spectacular lawyer who in addition to all the positive attributes he possesses also has a good sense of humor. Needless to say, in the end our cases were ALL resolved in exactly the way we had both prayed for. The DUI and CDS in MV were both dismissed. He even represented us at the juvenile court which had not been part of the agreement and got the charge downgraded. If you do decide to retain Mr. Spector, rest assured your case is in good hands and the fee you pay him will be worth every penny and will save you a lot more down the line. Mr. Spector, there are no words to express my gratitude for your time, patience and professionalism. Thank you.

BEST CHOICE I COULD HAVE MADE!

I knew I was in good hands the minute I retained Carl. He was understanding, reassuring, and no nonsense, kept in regular contact, and aggressively worked his way through the system to resolve in two weeks what could have taken months, got everything dismissed and the record sealed. Carl is an outs...tanding attorney who gave me exceptional service and was worth every penny!

Job Well Done!

I found Carl by accident doing a google search. I had a DWI and was sentenced to three years probation and 1 year interlock. Already having my interlock in for over 18 months I had to find a lawyer to help me get it removed. I could not find anyone to even talk to me. My original lawyer was usele...ss and never returned my calls but Carl took it on. He never sugar coated it and told me it would be hard to do. He stayed with it and would not give up. Then I received an email saying WE WON! I was in shock knowing how the system works. If you need a great lawyer who really works for you Carl is your guy. Hes very reasonable and worth every penny. THANKS AGAIN CARL!
