Great Lawyer and Great Person

I hired Carl as my attorney for DUI charges I was facing in NYC. From the first call to finally getting closure on the case 1 year later, Carl always took the time to answer any questions and explained all the nuances of the legal process. Best of all, He fought for me all the way till the end and ...he was able to get my case DISMISSED! I highly recommend using his services.

The Best.

With the help of Carl Spector, I was able to find vindication. In what was clearly an accident, the New York legal system portrayed the incident as an intentionally violent crime. The System doesn't care about the lives it damages: It cares about numbers; however, I am a real person, and without C...arl, the system would have done real and unjustifiable long term damage to my career and personal life. This would have directly impacted future job prospects and my relationship with my child. At times, it is questionable whether anyone cares about one life: Carl does. In short, Carl Spector saved my life. Bukowski once said "You save the world by saving one man at a time, all else is grandiose romanticism or politics." I will never forget what you did for me. Thank you.

The best DWI Lawyer!

I was arrested back in August 2016 for drunk driving and also got into an accident. I was initially charged with aggravated DWI with 3 years probation and I might face up to $2500 in fine. However, Mr. Carl worked endlessly for months to negotiate with the prosecutor to bring me the best outcome. As ...a result, he was able to bring my charge down to a regular DWI with only one-year Conditional Discharge together with a minimal fine of $600. I just cannot thank him enough for what he has done for me. I was truly impressed, and I would definitely recommend Mr. Carl to anyone who unfortunately get into the same trouble.

Carl Spector is the best

A few months ago I was in a single car accident. I received four separate charges, DWI being the most damaging. This occurred as my immigration application was pending. After some internet research and a consult with my immigration attorney, I realized that my immigration would be in jeopardy if I co...uld not dismiss the aggravating charges. My accident occurred at 6:30 pm on a Friday before a long weekend, leaving me much time to worry about the consequences of this. I spent my time seeking a lawyer, combing the internet for someone who could understand my situation and provide the best outcome. I was impressed with Carl Spector's background and results for his clients, and now after being a client, I realize how important such research can be. Mr. Spector was exactly as his past client's comments described him: punctual, meticulous, experienced, patient, polite, and most importantly, knowledgeable. He was also, surprisingly, available even during the weekend. In my experience, there was never a time when I wrote to him that he did not respond to me within a few hours or less. From the first minute that I talked with him, he informed me, quite frankly, about all the possible scenarios. We scheduled an appointment to meet in his office soon after. During the following weeks, he collected all the documents and evidence in a very professional way and scheduled a follow up meeting with me. In this second meeting, he created a strategy to tackle my case. He told me about possible outcomes and never gave me false hope. Finally, when I appeared in court, he was able to dismiss the aggravating charges and reduce the DWI fine to the minimum. I don't think anyone else could have done such an impeccable job, and I am stating this here only to thank him one more time. Thank you Mr. Spactor, you are the best.

Genuine Professional with family values.

Mr. Spector is an outstanding but not typical lawyer. He doesn't use a cookie cutter approach, he listened to our concerns with our case and explained every option we had and the impact of each option. Our main priority was the permanent/long term impact on our child going forward with potential em...ployers and background checks. Mr. Spector was able to have one of the charges dismissed and the other charge down graded and communicated with the court to accept a reduced 6 month conditional discharge. This will have the charges removed from the record after successful completion. Thank you for your services and compassionate approach treating us with respect.
