Great DUI/DWI Criminal Defense Lawyer

I was searching for a lawyer to represent my brother-in-law who was wrongly charged with DUI, wreckless driving and leaving the scene. Carl Spector was one of four I interviewed and I was most impressed with his approach to the case, the questions he asked, and the general compassion I felt he had fo...r my family's distress. He was a great attorney throughout the case and in the end got the majority of critical charges dismissed. Highly recommend him if you need a thoughtful and passionate criminal attorney.

Excellent Attorney

I made a wise choice in hiring Mr. Carl Spector to represent me. When I first met with Carl, he answered all my questions, and I found him to be exceptionally knowledgeable, and explained everything to me, until I fully understood what he was saying. Carl is straightforward and to the point, and was ...very professional in the handling of my case , which resulted in a favorable outcome. Accolades too from the judge who was presiding over this case, giving Mr. Spector high praise as a well respected attorney, and for his expertise, and years of experience. I would certainly recommend Mr. Spector for anyone looking to hire a qualified criminal defense attorney. Thanks again Carl!

Superb attorney

I was fortunate to have Carl Spector as my attorney. He has provided a legal advice and guidance in a difficult and emotional case. My case required coordination of inputs from medical doctors as well as medical licencing attorneys in a timely manner which he stayed on top of. From our first meeting ...Carl impressed me as experienced, understanding, responsive, knowledgeable and honest attorney. He always tried to keep my best interest and unique needs at the forefront. In court he was well prepared and did a superb job which ultimately got the main criminal charge against me downgraded to a non criminal civic violation. Libel client

A great experience throughout a bad situation.

I received a DUI, Refusal to a breathlizer exam and DUI in a school zone. I hire Carl base of the reviews I read online. I called him Sunday Feb 4 amongst other attorneys at the time but Carl was the only one that actually answered his phone. This helped the cause. Once he recieved all the eviden...ce he was very clear explaining all the possible outcomes. We knew at that time that having the case dismissed was unlikely, I explained my personal situation to Carl and basically said well if we could push this out as far as possible I can at least get my life together until is time to lose my license. Carl went to work to see what was missing from the evidence, he found a couple flaws and some missing evidence and was able to work the system because of the missing evidence. Fast forward 7 months later (a point to which I never thought we’d get to) I had my finances prepared to lose my license, we were working on a plea with the prosecutor but that eventually fell through. After 10 months Carl was able to get my case dismissed yesterday. I’m very grateful for Carl because he went above and beyond, he’s a very honest person and got me the results I thought were never possible. I feel blessed not only for having my case dismissed but because I’m 10000% that no one else could have helped me reach this outcome because Carl is very knowledgeable and he’s able to communicate effectively. Carl once again, thank you so much!

Couldn't ask for more.

Mr. Spector is a very experienced attorney who works in a very process orientated way. This can be a little frustrating if you are passionate or emotional about your case but it's also calming, and more importantly, exactly what the legal process requires in order to get results. As others have sa...id, Carl isn't going to sugar coat things or sell you a line, he's going to do the right thing by you, at the best of his abilities, for a reasonable price. Carl represented my wife recently and the outcome could not have been better. His experience and knowledge of the system clearly made the difference in both the result and the speed of the process. We're both very grateful and will call Carl first if we, or anyone we know, need a criminal attorney in the New York or New Jersey area in the future. Thank you Mr. Spector!
