A Challenging Case

We hired Carl Spector for our son, immediately following an unfortunate accident resulting from a DUI. From the initial consultation Carl was thorough in his communications, explaining with care, the severity of charges and what to expect at each stage. We were in constant contact for approximately ...5 months, which at times were rocky, considering the severity. His years of experience on both the defense and prosecution side, helped put us more at ease. He demonstrated that he cares, and reassured us that he will fight on our son's behalf, smartly. In the end, we believe we arrived at what could be considered the best possible outcome for our son, due primarily to Carl's negotiation skills, caring, and understanding of the law. I'm happy with our decision to hire Carl, but hope that I never have to see him again, under THESE type of circumstances. ;-) Signed- "MamaBear"

Great experience

He worked hard and came through to get me the lowest possible penalty. Always answered the phone and easy to contact at any time, or called back very quickly. Also broke down the court process and told me exactly what to expect. I highly recommend him.

Very professional, experienced lawyer

I found Carl on google and hired him to represent me for a possession charge I received when I was traveling in NJ. I live in MA, but Carl was still accessible by phone and there to answer my questions. I was confident that he had my best interest in mind and was going to do what he could to help me.... Carl was able to find a way to dismiss my case, so I am extremely grateful for his expertise and rapport with the prosecutor and judge.

THE GREATEST DUI/DWI/CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER IN THE HISTORY OF THE LAW

I don’t even know where to start. All I can say is I’m forever grateful and thankful that I met Mr. Spector. I was referred to him by a friend who he also helped. The first time I spoke to Mr. Spector about my DWI case was on the phone at about 9pm at night. He was more than happy to speak to me and ...thoroughly explained the process of what I needed to do and how I needed to do it. The greatest part is that he wasn’t pushing me to hire him. I felt that he genuinely cared and that he really wanted to help. But me being the over thinker that I am, I stalled on hiring him for over a month because I wanted to find the best lawyer who would be able to help me with my case. During that time, I would call Carl and he would give me in depth answers as to what was going on and I didn’t even hire him yet. He was giving me crucial advice all for free. I spoke to over a dozen different DWI lawyers and none of them compared to Mr. Spector. Finally, I just went with my intuition and gut feeling and hired Mr. Spector. I knew in my heart that he was my guy and that he was going to give me the best result. After I hired Mr. Spector the process began. Every time we spoke or met in court, he would thoroughly explain every little detail and possible scenario to me so I could fully understand what was going on. Mr. Spector is a super knowledgable, passionate and intense person that truly tells it how it is and knows exactly what he’s talking about when it comes to the law. He’s a straight shooter. He doesn’t beat around the bush and tell you what you want to hear. He tells you what you need to hear and that to me was very important. My DWI case went on for over 8 months. Carl and I went to court over 8 times during that time span. Every time he would explain to me what was going on and what we needed to do and how we needed to execute it. He constantly under promised and over delivered every single time. To the point that over 8 months of going back and forth to court that I finally BEAT MY DWI CASE!!! THE CASE GOT DISMISSED AND SEALED!!! So many people go through the process of hiring a lawyer and nowhere near get the same result that I did. I am forever indebted to Mr. Spector for what he’s done for me and the amount of time and money he’s saved me. I am so blessed to have met him and hired him as my lawyer. Not only is he the greatest lawyer in the history of law, I can truly say he is one of the greatest human beings I have ever met. If you need a lawyer to represent you in a DUI/DWI/CRIMINAL CASE, look no further; Carl Spector is your guy! I love you Carl! Thank you for everything you’ve done for me. Not only did I gain an amazing lawyer but most importantly I gained a friend for life. Words will never express what Mr. Spector means to me and how grateful and thankful I am that I met him.

Dear Tony, First let me review your review, 5 Stars, WOW! Your words mean the world to me. Your case was long and hard fought. Your questions along the way and ability to understand the details of the criminal justice system was critical in allowing me to do my work on your behalf. Thanks again and be well.
