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.

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"!

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.

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!

FANTASTIC lawyer! **HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!**

I had received two tickets from an incompetent officer that wrote the wrong statute on it which, if I went to court unprepared, would have cost me hundreds and several points on my license. I contacted Mr. Spector about the matter and he managed to get the court date pushed so he can get all the info...rmation ready. The day of court he meets me there and off the bat he is reassuring and personable, which helps eases my fears quite a bit. We had to wait about an hour for the judge to come out, so he took the opportunity to speak to the prosecutor about my tickets, and within 15 minutes he came back to me with great news. Instead of 7-10 points, and at least $800+ in fees and fines, he got one ticket dismissed and the other bumped down to delay of traffic with a $80 fine. The man is a miracle worker, I swear! Another thing about Mr. Spector (which doesn't really have anything do to with my case in particular) is that he's a very very friendly and approachable person! While the other lawyers that came to the courtroom sat by themselves, Mr. Spector made sure to sit by me and talk to me...not just about the case but about my life and other things. He told me he likes hearing about people and their stories, and I can see why because he was very relatable and and intelligent to speak to casually! He's a very professional lawyer with a great personality that didn't break my bank account! Please please please! If you find yourself in a legal bind, contact this man immediately! You will not be disappointed!
