DWI, Wreckless Driving, Leaving Scene of Accident

Carl is easily one of the best in the business. Carl was extremely professional and made himself available at all times during the court process. Carl went the extra mile and was able to get multiple violations dismissed, as well as getting my DWI reduced to the lowest possible penalties. Do not look... any further, Carl is the answer!

Carl has got to be the best DUI attorney in the state…hands down!

I just finished a personal legal situation that began in 2021 and only just got resolved now in 2024. I live 1200 miles away from Mr. Spector because I had moved during this ordeal. It was my first time ever dealing with any criminal proceedings or having to defend myself in a court. I cannot say eno...ugh about Carl, he’s absolutely amazing. He’s thorough, very well spoken and clearly an expert at what he does. He is a true confidant to his clients, he gives you sound advice, very upfront with everything. When you watch Carl work on your behalf against a prosecutor, it’s a relief knowing that you have such great representation. Carl was able to get me a better resolution than I even wanted/expected. He stopped me from even considering accepting a plea deal because he knew he was capable of much better. I anticipate that if I chose a different attorney, I would not be in the amazing position I am today. It seems to me another attorney may have just compromised with prosecution and advised me to accept. I went from facing several serious charges and penalties…to pleading to a minor traffic offense. Truly amazing. After getting me an outstanding result, Carl even then began arguing on my behalf to get a $500 state surcharge waived, which I wasn’t even aware of. The judge actually included a provision for that possibility at the end of my proceedings. The judge had to look in a law book to reference what Carl was talking about, that’s the kind of knowledge and prestige he possesses. I have already recommended Carl to a family member regarding services and he will be my go to person in NY or NJ should I ever need representation again. He truly cares about his clients. Thank you so much Carl!

Simply The Best...

If you are looking for an attorney, do yourself a favor and look no further. Without going into the details of my case, I was charged with some very serious motor vehicle offenses which carried potentially very high fines and a loss of license. Carl went way above and beyond what I could have e...xpected and worked tirelessly on my case, which went on for almost 2 years. When I finally had my day in court things turned out so much better than anyone would have anticipated. When everything was said and done, I couldn't have asked for a better result- I was able to keep my driving privilege and the fines that I had to pay were very manageable. I would recommend Carl to anyone without hesitation.

100% Recomended

I found myself in a horrible and traumatic situation because I was falsely accused by a healthcare worker at HUMC. Mr Spector, with his in-depth knowledge of criminal law, focus, and his easy-to-talk-to personality was able to end this false accusation at the pre-trial hearing. It was a pleasure wor...king with Mr Spector because he quickly responded to my calls and emails, which was very important in these types of cases. I highly recommend him to defend you. His excellent representation enabled him to succeed where my first lawyer was not able.
