Knowledgeable Lawyer That Works in Your Best Interest

My partnership with Mr. Spector was brief but, he always kept me informed. He knows the legal proceedings well, which can be very intimidating if you go to court representing yourself. He discusses all the possible outcomes with you so you know what you are up against and any risk(s) involved and str...ategizes with you as to the best approach for your defense. He is well respected by colleagues and law enforcement personnel. Mr. Spector was able to downgrade an improper left turn violation into an improper procession with no points on my driving record. I was pleased with the end result. He is definitely a rare commodity that works for you and not against you. Thank you Carl for your service in representing me. A job well done! Wishing you continued success!!!

Great Results with Drug Possession Case

Takes the time to explain things and willing to work around your schedule - especially important since I work late nights. I spoke with several lawyers before going with Carl and it worked out great. Was charged with PL 220.03 possession of a controlled substance in Manhattan - Carl was able to get m...e off with 1 day of community service on a Sunday and a concealed record.

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!

excellent choice with a great outcome

I was looking at 6 months loss of license, with 10 points on my license. The outcome was I still have my license with 0 points. He is very informative, professional and courteous. He explained everything in detail and before I walked into the court room he told me he already spoke with the prosecu...tor and told me what the outcome would be, highly recommended..

Awesome Lawyer

Carl, simply put, is an excellent lawyer. He kept me informed and was very flexible with his time. I really appreciated that he was able to find court date/time that fit my schedule. He was also straightforward, providing options and details, and made it clear that he'll do the best he can but he ...couldn't promise anything. He was able to get me zero points (I had 2 tickets) which was an awesome outcome. On top of it all, Carl is caring and a great person. I hope I don't have a need for a lawyer again, but if I do I'll certainly be reaching out to Carl.
