Attorney Review

Thank you Mr. Ascher You were professional, competent, and very knowledgeable in your field of work. You gave us the confidence and peace of mind assuring us that we were in the best hands. You did not disappointed us, my son’s case was literally dismissed and what I personally admired is that yo...u treated us with dignity and respect. I will highly recommend you and your company, Einhor Harris, to my friends and family. Again, thank you for all your help.

In a class of his own.

I needed a good lawyer and I got a great one. A consummate professional, dexterous in the court room and an all-around pleasure to work with I would recommend Michael anytime. Every aspect of my case was handled with great care and his support staff were exceptional at keeping me informed on all aspe...cts of my case. I mention he and his firm anytime lawyers come up as they are the very best around. Thanks again.

Very smart

Mr. Ascher was very helpful in going through the books and explaining every step of the legal process. He also connects with his clients and tries his hardest as a lawyer.

When you feel there is no way out, There is!

So you get jammed up, set up, or just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now you are hit with green sheets that say the State vs. you, with all sorts of jail time facing you. So after a few sleepless nights and no where to turn, you simply need two things: Time and Michael Ascher. ...Besides being a true professional, he cares about you and your family and has one ingredient that you need, experience, which breeds luckin court and with Judges. So next time you are read your rights, first of all, you have the right to remain silent, so remain silent! Second of all, have Michael Asher's telephone number on your cell phone and ask to speak with your attorney. It's the best move you'll ever make.

Michael Ascher Recommendation

My name is John and Michael Ascher was recommended to me regarding a criminal case. From our first meeting, it was clear that Michael was a true professional who really wanted to help me. He was compassionate and optimistic about our chances. He was very patient and listened to me and addressed a...ll of my questions and concerns. He was very thorough regarding my case. The case had the best resolution possible thanks to Michael Ascher's knowledge and work ethic. This was a very difficult case with many obstacles. Michael came through with flying colors. I would recommended Michael to anyone who needs the very best in legal representation!

"Michael's experience and litigation skills are unparalled in the area of DYFS / DCPP litigation. He brings a unique and extremely valuable perspective to this very difficult area of litigation. I would recommend him without any reservation."

"I was taking on a high level felony case that concerned rare, esoteric areas of criminal law. Much research was needed in order to prevail. I spent numerous hours at the library and reviewed many law books. Few of them were as useful as the scholarly, yet highly practical online legal essays of Mr. Ascher. Intrigued by his writings, I contacted him over email and he graciously responded by calling me on the telephone. For almost 20 minutes, he took time out of his busy schedule and spoke with me about the unique legal procedures I would be facing and the strategies I would need in order to prevail. His essays and advice would prove to be of great value. Indeed, they helped me get the case dismissed, with prejudice. Mr. Ascher is a gentleman, professional and credit to the bar. I wish more attorneys were like him."
