My Review

I highly recommend Attorney Brill, I had a phone conversation that was highly respectable and very factual. The phone conversation lasted about 10 mins with sure fire questions and answers that gave Attorney Brill my case in a nutshell. After the phone call and a sit down consultation, I immediatel...y hired Attorney Brill. He gave me a clear understanding of the law and what he can and cant do. I felt like Attorney brill was the only Attorney out of the 3 actually consulted giving me a chance to speak rather than making a quick buck, which plays a major part in my book. I highly recommend Attorney Brill to anyone in the legal system without a doubt.

Professional and polite

After getting a public defender that I could not even get in contact with I decided to go to Sullivan and Brill from my case. Steven was very professional and charged a reasonable rate and most importantly got my case to drop to a disorderly conduct from pretty severe charges. All i had to do was a c...ouple of days of community service. I should mention that this was the first time i ever needed legal help and hopefully the last and if not i would gladly hire Brill again.
