Highly Recommend

I had a sticky legal situation and found Ken on a whim through a Google search. I'm so happy I did and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer in NYC. He talked to me on the phone at length the first day I called him, without even having discussed a retainer or any fees. Once I did hire h...im he was extremely attentive, professional and resolved the matter within 2 weeks. He was available at all times to answer any and all questions throughout the process. While I hope to not need his services again, if I do I'll definitely be contacting Ken, I can't recommend him enough.

Best Attorney!

I would like to express my gratitude and sincerity to Kenneth. He was very kind, patient and professional towards me and my family. He was able to answer all of our questions and was very responsive no matter the time of day. He was able to help us out and we are extremely pleased with the outcome. I... would highly recommend Ken to any individual who is in need of any legal help.

"I have seen Ken accomplish the near impossible, obtaining frequent dismissals and saving his clients from severe punishment including keeping them from being arrested in the first place. He is an incredibly passionate and articulate attorney who accomplishes what he sets out to on behalf of his clients. Ken is an esteemed litigator others notice and stop to listen to for his zealous advocacy in Court. He goes above and beyond for each and everyone individual he counsels no matter how big or small their needs are."
