Houdini of Law

Arkady is really a jaw-dropping lawyer. I was referred to the law office by my sister who had previously beaten her criminal charges. I myself faced an obstruction of justice charge with a Federal indictment supposedly coming my way. However, thanks to Arkady's connections and experience he was able ...to negotiate. As a result, I could settle out of court and avoid lengthy proceedings and even prison time. I would certainly take my time and recommend Arkady Bukh to anyone seeking a very professional criminal defense counselor. Thumb up!

Problem solver

Arkady is not a typical criminal lawyer from Brooklyn who enthusiastically collects the retainer check and disappears leaving you with a a junior associate or a paralegal. He was actually in court with me (did not miss the schedule) to fight the case. The prosecutor was very concerned when he found o...ut who my defender was. Eventually, I got a call from the office with the news that my case was downgraded to a very minor misdemeanor. Thank you, Ark!

Deep experience

Arkady has lots of experience in any type of credit card case. My son was accused of stealing cards and attempting to make use of them in the ATMs. This could put him away for more than a few years. I read about Arkady in the media that covered one of the fraud cases in Queens. I had a pleasure of pe...rsonally talking to him, and he immediately won my trust. Indeed, I had no financial strength to pay for the trial. But the cases ended abruptly without going to trial. My son was sentenced to time served. Great job!

Multinational defense

Arkady took a case of my son while he was in custody in Europe waiting for extradition to the U.S. We were basically in despair, because there was no one AT ALL on our side, nor anyone could explain to us what really was happening. Arkady got in touch, and I immediately knew there was light in the en...d of the tunnel. He seemed so professional and knowledgeable, and also sympathetic to our situation. In fact, he did a significant discount due to our difficult financials. The case took about 2 years to result in a time served verdict. My son is now in Immigration custody, and guess what Arkady is making this happen once again - we were just alerted our son would be put on a plane any time next week! This is brilliant.

True expert

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.
