Great Attorney

He was knowledgable and efficient. He was a prosecutor in the past, so he will know the best course of action to take. He answered all my questions. I was very pleased with the outcome of my case!

A Superb Lawyer and Person

Hands down the best lawyer you can get. He knows the right way to work the case. I used him twice, and both times he came through. I was facing an even longer suspension the second time around and he saved me from any further penalty. He is understanding, always stayed in touch, and he went above and... beyond. Other lawyers I spoke to had no confidence or knowledge compared to Carl. He is simply impressive at what he does. He commands respect in the courtroom and he found ways to really work my case. I probably was not the easiest client to deal with either but he never lost his cool. If you want to go with a discount lawyer and get second hand treatment, go ahead, but if you want to win or face the best case scenario, then Carl is your man. The second time around I spoke to another lawyer and he said it was a hopeless case. Of course, I turned to Carl, and because of him, my life is back to normal. Thanks.

Best Outcome Possible.

I am very pleased with the outcome of my cases. One was altogether dismissed, the second, a rather severe driving violation, downgraded to unsafe driving. It is a rare pleasure working with someone who genuinely enjoys what he does, and cares about the outcome. He treated me both as a client, a...nd a friend. Recently I got into trouble because of an overzealous police officer, and admittedly a poor choice in speed. (45 in a 35.) Having gotten pulled over for speeding, I was improperly searched, and charged with the possession of a weapon. While the charge was downgraded, the new charge was also serious, with consequences not that different from the original. After reviewing the case, Carl was able to have it dismissed. The accompanying speeding ticket, written for a ridiculous speed of 60 on a 25, (when in reality it was 40-45 in a 35) was downgraded to a no point offense. In summation, while I hope I never need Carl’s services again, I know that should the need arise, he will be my first call.

Kick ass lawyer

Oh man, I'll start off by saying he's an incredible lawyer. Being the first time I got into legal trouble, I was very concerned with my situation, future job prospects, etc. He was able to get everything dismissed. Always easy to get in contact with him. He was also extremely knowledgeable in every a...spect, just check his credentials! Overall, no disappointments here.

Great Guy, Great Attorney

The first thing I noticed when I walked into Carl's office was the awards and achievements going around the whole room. I was impressed right away. He was a prosecutor in Fair Lawn for 3 years, and in the Bronx for 6 years, so you know he has the knowledge and experience. I hired him almost immediate...ly. He was dedicated and made himself available all the time, so that I was always able to contact him whenever I had a question or information. Always answered the phone, I was never unable to reach him. Hard working and dedicated to the case, and at the end of it all, got me the exact outcome I was looking for. I am very grateful that I found Carl and hired him. I would recommend Carl Spector to anyone who is in a pickle. He got me out of mine and will do the same for you.
