Honest, Forthright Attorney with Extensive Knowledge of the Law and Criminal Justice System

Carl provided excellent legal representation for my husband, who was arrested on his first DUI charge early Sunday morning. Carl was great from the start. He answered my frantic phone call at 5AM, listened to my concerns and agreed to represent my husband at his arraignment. Carl was forthright and e...xplained to me the entire process - where my husband was, what was going to happen to him, what I should expect at his arraignment and advised that it was going to be a long wait for him to be processed. Carl then continuously followed up with the Court and provided status updates to me every few hours so that I was informed. At the end of the day, Carl was able to secure a plea for my husband that resulted in just a traffic infraction as opposed to a misdemeanor. Carl was able to obtain a stay of suspension of my husband's driver's license so that he could continue driving for work while he waited for a conditional license. As a fellow attorney, I can attest to Carl's knowledge of the law and legal system and I would recommend him without hesitation.

Amazing Attorney!!

I had hired Carl for a dui case. He answered all my questions. Always kept it to the point. He never once sugar coated anything for me. It was a long case but worth all the time. Any fears I had I was very comfortable to tell him. And the greatest thing about Carl, is that I won!!!! I'm a... very happy and greatful client.

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.

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.
