An absolutely fantastic NY & NJ DWI attorney

Carl Spector, in addition to being exceptionally knowledgeable about all the DWI laws, is more importantly knowledgable about them in all their nuances, and particularly knows just how to apply them in whatever particular case he is handling in his clients' defense. In my particular case Carl at f...irst gave me a very comprehensive free initial consultation, taking my call late in the evening, and promptly calling me back when I left him a message. He thoroughly asked me all relevent and peretinent questions as to what happened to me with the police encounter and arrest, and all that occured during the time spent in the station that evening. Most importantly, Carl was always there by my side, always willing to take my calls and talk with me on the phone if I had ANY concerns regarding what was happening to me. This was very comforting and thoughtful of him, and has earned him my everlasting respect. A DWI-related charge can be very a very traumatic and jolting experience, so having a knowledgeable, and more importantly, a compassionate attorney to represent you while going through this bewildering experience can make all the difference in the world - not just when you are at court, but for your peace of mind in the day, weeks or months leading up to that moment before the judge. Thank you Carl.

Rave Review for Carl Scott Spector

After days of researching attorneys shortly after my arrest, I came across Carl Spector's profile and was thoroughly reassured that he was the right choice. Not only were his accomplishments, credentials and qualifications outstanding, he was extremely personable as well. Carl genuinely cared abo...ut my case and the hardships that it caused me. He was flexible with payment plans, meeting times, weekly (and sometimes daily) updates and advice at any given time of the day. He was easily reachable and was more than happy to help ease my concerns. Not only is Mr. Spector an exceptional attorney, he is also well liked, to the highest degree, by his peers. While outside the courthouse, I got to witness this first hand as he was approached multiple times with compliments and proposals seeking his council. All in all, my experience was excellent and went very smoothly. I would most definitely recommend Mr. Carl Spector in a heartbeat. I am very grateful for his hard work.

Do not hire this lawyer

First off this lawyer was extremely rude when I was talking to him. He became rude as soon as he found that he would not be able to take my case instead of advising. He just turned to the attitude of wanting to hang up because it was late in the day and he needed to get home, these are words that he ...specifically stated to me. He became contentious because I was taken back and I responded to him and he gave me an attitude saying yeah really I need to go. I would never recommend this lawyer. I don’t think he is a lawyer that cares he’s more interested in what he’s going to get out of it rather than trying to help a potential client.

As this anonymous person stated, I did not represent them. I do not recall this conversation. I would suggest that this review from an individual that might of had a brief conversation with me and then takes the time to smear me in public is an unfortunate use of this platform.
