I hired this firm to represent me and try to find puppy scammers who took money from me. Daniel Kohn represented me. I paid a $7,500 retainer on my credit card and was assured that it would only take a few hours of time to determine whether or not we would be able to bring case against the scammers. ...Then at that time I would get the rest of my retainer back if we couldn't bring case or ran into dead ends. I received a bill from the firm saying that my retainer was almost gone and that I needed to add more money in for them to continue representing me. They billed me for letter that they wrote that I instructed them not to after the DHS contactEd me and informed me that they were aware of my case and that I was one of many and that it was an international ring from Cameroon. Once I received the bill I was shocked and gave Daniel a call to see what was going on. He basically said "oops" and told me he would fix the bill and have it resent to me. The firm will not respond to my written requests, and Daniel has now blown me off. Pawns me off on the office. During the time where I was their client, everyone was nice but Pretty disorganized and didn't have good inter-company communication. After I was no longer their client, the firm was not helpful, did not follow through, and has now taken $7500 from me and not returned my refund or sent me a proper bill. This has been going on for months. This firm is money hungry and has terrible customer service.

A consult turned into a full-time retainer. Arkady seemed such a powerhorse that I decided to reconcile my finances and cut a check. I am so pleased with the results that I got off this deal. My felony record that I was about to get evaporated. So, I continue with my regular life, thanks to Mr. Bukh....

Thumb up for Arkady Bukh! Got involved into a light DWI case, but I wanted to preserve my record crystal clear. The legal aid lawyer was only able to get a plea deal that would mean skipping jail, but failing with criminal record. Arkady seemed to be way out of my reach financially, but they gave me ...a payment plan that I followed. The prosecution was very concerned with my new counsel, and soon they changed the offer. My record remained clean, which means the employer will not have any second thoughts. Great job!

This is one of the best (if not THE best) white collar crime lawyers in New York. He managed to dismiss my forgery case, and it never went to trial, nor it took an awful amount of time to complete. I've actually referred Arkady to my family members, friends, and just anybody who are in trouble with t...he law. After reading the negative reviews below, I decided to give my feedback in regards to Arkady's services. 1) Arkady never asks for a lot of cash upfront. On the contrary, he personally worked on my payment plan and made sure it was not too financially burdensome 2) Arkady is always ready for a court appearance, in fact he actually alerted me to get ready. Unlike many lawyers who just do not show up, he was there to take me to the judge during the morning session. 3) Arkady actually cares. Even after my case was over and no future payments at sight he would provide me with a complimentary consultation (I could even name it "do it yourself" kit) for my business venture. Using his professional advice, I could move ahead and file my company in accordance with all strict laws and regulations. I think that you should not make a mistake and trust your future to a second-class (let alone public) defender. Arkady Bukh is an amazing source for criminal defense should the circumstances require so.

Pros: Lots of lawyers here , so it is easy to get second opinion in this office- but they are very different - this is confusing sometimes. Unusually responsive for lawyers. They respond to e-mails and over the phone.( they have some 24 hour policy). Large and responsive team on my case.( if you pay)....Got lots of discounts on my hourly case- some of them was their own mistakes however.I like there policy- " if there is a problem- they will fix it- often for free.Just tell them.Preferably in writing. Cons: God forbid you are late with the payment. I can not complain on a team( attorneys and paralegals) are good, but management immediately reassign most of the team and you are being transferred to " ethical mode"-Now you feel that this is like "legal aid" - for homeless. This happened with me twice when I was few weeks late with the payment and few thousand negative on a balance.We won the case however. They are trying to be overly optimistic, but I had to pay later more because opposing party and judge created problem on a case.Their optimism costing me money. It is good that they been trying to calm me down, but things often not settling and going to trial- so I have to pay arm and a leg for victory. Twice they promised that- "tomorrow we will win motion" and in fact case was adjourned , because of the judge, for two month.Few adjournments- few thousand dollars. Seek and tired of their optimism.( they gave me small discount later).Promised that they will finish this case within a year - it took a year and a half. And 50% more financially than I thought initially. Even after all their discounts. They should of told me, that judges and opposing lawyers adjourn half of the hearings.And I have to pay for this.
