Excellent lawyer with skills, experience and passion

After my mom got into a she-said, he-said type of an auto accident, I immediately went online to search for an attorney to represent her. Being a lawyer myself, I was very involved in hiring and working with Gregg. During the initial consultation, I knew Gregg would represent my mom superbly becaus...e he portrayed all the qualities that one should look for in hiring a legal counsel. First, he's practical and realistic. He will explain to you what you're faced with, strength and weaknesses of your case, and the options you have. Second, he will explain the law. Many lawyers do not spend the time to fully explain the law to their clients, but Gregg made sure he spent enough time to explain and answer our questions. Third, he's a man of principle. He truly is passionate about representing his clients and believes in principle rather than taking the convenient way out for him. My mom and I were extremely happy and grateful that Gregg was able to help us get the best possible outcome. I would recommend Gregg to anyone who seeks legal representation in NJ. Also, his office staff is great - kind and responsive.

Great Lawyer

My son was involved in a one car accident in March 2015 and in the course of events was issued 4 citations. One of the charges was DWI. We were devastated because this is the first time we’ve ever dealt with a situation like this and didn’t know where to start. After searching the internet and findin...g the AVVO website, we looked for an Attorney close to our location and familiar with our situation. We happened across some very good reviews for Gregg Wisotsky. He was close to our area so we called and set up a consultation to see if he could help. Immediately upon meeting him he welcomed us, looked at the situation and was very honest about what challenges we would be facing. He was respectful, honest and talked about what he might be able to do to help us. We felt he was the one. We were extremely pleased to find not only someone who was knowledgeable about the challenges we’d be dealing with but also seemed like someone you can trust. Upon completing our consult he said this would be a very challenging case but would love to have the opportunity to work it for us. I never even consulted another attorney. I knew in our discussions that if anyone could help us I felt he would be the one. Next steps put the wheels in motion to start working my son’s case. He was EXTREMELY thorough, detailed, and focused on all the facts. He answered every question and put our minds at ease. Even though there are no guarantees I felt he would do his best to help our situation. Over the course of his investigation, he sought all the documentation he needed to work our case. He summoned medical records, police records, ambulance records and then hired an expert to help investigate the protocol used for obtaining the specifics relating to our case in the charges. His services were worth every cent. His expert consultant was extremely knowledgeable had done an impressive job in the course of information he provided to help us including a very persuasive report that was critical to our position. Even the judge commented on how detailed and thorough Mr. Wisotsky’s work was. Prior to our court appearance he conducted numerous conference calls with the judge and the prosecutor. He and his staff kept us informed of every step along the way. He told us what to expect and how to be prepared. Any time we had questions or called we received immediate responses and put us at ease. In the end and because of all his thorough work, we had the best possible outcome for our situation. Not every case is the same but we could not have had a better outcome thanks to Mr. Wisotsky, Colleen, and the resources he uses to help his clients. I highly recommend him for any legal situation you might be confronted with. He’s a fine attorney, with a superb reputation working to help families protect their rights while striving for the best possible outcome. He also is a family man who understands the importance of family and their feelings. I highly recommend him for any legal situation you might be dealing with- we trusted him with our son’s case and future - rest assured he will do his best to help you.

Excellent Lawyer and Trusted Advisor

As a recent client, I express my sincere appreciation for Gregg Wisotsky’s representation. My case was rather complex in that I was involved in an automobile accident and based on honest responses, the police had filed for: a warrant to draw my blood while in the hospital ER and a ‘Dyal subpoena’... to obtain my hospital records; both in order to determine my blood alcohol concentration (BAC). After having extensively reviewed the Internet for blood alcohol cases, I quickly understood should either test come back with a positive result the chances of being prosecuted to the extent of the law, which is rather rigid and non-negotiable, are almost 100% in favor of the State. Having never appeared in court for any reason, I was totally naïve about the aggressiveness and the extent the state would go to in gathering evidence and prosecution of an individual based on suspicion. In my opinion, right or wrong, I felt as if the local police and the prosecutor primarily were primarily concerned in determining if there was enough evidence to convict of a targeted activity (DUI arrest and prosecution), and did not consider it their responsibility to research the validity of the evidence to determine potential innocence prior to prosecution. After this experience I’m a little less naive. It quickly became apparent to me that if I hoped to win a case or minimize my sentencing, I would need someone who understood the laws regarding drawn blood BAC and someone whose professional opinion I could respect should he tell me ‘let’s lose gracefully’ if need be. What I am familiar with is how to find capable resources. After doing my research online about applicable law and cases that had positive and negative outcomes, etc…. I interviewed several attorneys and was not satisfied. I received responses, which lead me to believe they were out of touch with current laws, did not understand the legal vehicles available to the prosecutor and the rigidity of the laws surrounding BAC. I had lawyers telling me I should plead guilty and rely on the leniency of the judge before they reviewed all the facts. I came upon Gregg Wisotsky’s name through Avvo and after having received the response back from the police that I was being charged, sat down with Gregg in his office to discuss the facts regarding my case. Gregg is very in-tune with the laws, has a good presence of character, clearly understood and intelligently responded to my position. I subsequently used Gregg’s services and found him to be outstanding, responsive, and when he is not directly available, has a very competent staff who understand the case being worked on, and can either answer questions directly or relay the information to Gregg and receive a prompt reply. My confidence in Gregg’s recommendation to pursue or not pursue avenues such as hiring a professional to analyze the hospital results and provide witness, etc… were spot-on. Had Gregg told me that I should just ‘plead guilty’ and take my lumps, my confidence in his judgment would have told me to do it. Fact of my case is that Gregg competently defended my position, efficiently used his internal resources, hired effective external resources, provided a clearly defined and professionally written arguments, and held necessary meetings with the judge and prosecutor prior to going to trial. The final result of Gregg’s representation was the dismissal of the charges against me. Had I not had Gregg’s expert representation, I am sure the outcome of my case would have been very different. Don’t assume that just because there is evidence against you, that you can’t dispute its voracity. Don’t assume that if an attorney says he’s represented clients in DUI cases that he’s competent. Don’t try to do it on your own. Find good representation and someone you can trust to give you the best advice. I highly recommend Gregg Wisotsky.
