First Class Attorney

I can not recommend Mr. Belkin enough. Mr. Belkin is a class act. From day one, his service and commitment to my family’s legal issues was amazing. He went above and beyond and his knowledge of the laws and legal system were critical in helping us resolve our issues.

Highly recommended for anyone going through stressful legal affairs

I had the pleasure of working with Kenneth Belkin on my recent criminal case and I couldn't be more impressed with his level of professionalism and dedication. From the start, it was clear that Ken was thorough and meticulous in his approach to my case. He took the time to understand all the details ...and presented them in a clear and concise manner. Ken impressed me with his detail-oriented and professional approach. He was always well-prepared and knowledgeable of the law, which gave me confidence in his abilities to represent me. He always had my best interest in mind and had high professional integrity, which meant he would never recommend anything that could harm me. Throughout the legal process, Ken was always available to answer my questions and address my concerns, which helped ease my worries during a very difficult time. His hard work and dedication paid off, as he was able to achieve a great outcome for my case. I highly recommend Kenneth Belkin to anyone in need of a criminal defense lawyer. He is an excellent attorney who is dedicated to his clients, and will work tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.

The best!

Kenneth Belkin is a great lawyer and was able to come to my aid when no one else would. Some truly horrible human being stole my beloved pet cat, when he got out one night and refused to return him to me. The situation was hopeless. At the mercy of these radical left man-hating cat-nappers, I could n...ot get my kitty back and these people were insane about keeping him. They said I mistreated my cat because he escaped one night. Nothing I could do or say got through to them. Having been introduced to Ken through a friend, I hired him and his team and they quickly got to work. They found out these nut jobs owned a building and sued them to get the cat back. They filed an emergency motion and my precious cat was back with me in a week. Ken is truly a hero and a great lawyer, using his quick witted smarts and grab them by the balls mentality, justice prevailed! I’m not sure what sort of Jewish magic Ken used, but he defeated these insane man-eaters and my cat is home safe. Although cat law is not Ken’s specialty, defeating crazy man hating nut jobs just might be and i say this as a very gay man living in Bushwick. Thank you to Ken and his team!!! ❤️

Criminal case

Mr Kenneth Belkin is one of the bestest and incredible criminal Attorneys I had ever met. I humbly endorse Mr Belkin to anyone who got involved in criminal cases. I contacted Mr Belkin regarding a criminal case I became entangled in. I explained to him what ever happened. With his knowledge and exper...ience he laid down pragmatic measures and procedures to deal with the case.He is so amazing lawyer. He is supportive and there for me. Mr Belkin always provides quick responses to all my emails and calls. He has the highest ethical standards and always go extra miles for his client. Mr. Belkin makes sure I receive the correct information before and after court proceedings. At long last Mr. Belkin got the criminal case against me dismissed. I therefore recommend him to anyone who got involved in criminal issues.

better call Ken!

After calling Ken late on a Saturday night, he called me back as soon as possible. He is so supportive and cares for his clients. He was so helpful when explaining very complicated legal matters in a way a non-lawyer can understand. His knowledge and extensive experience in multiple areas of legal pr...actice make him an incredible resource to have on your side. I'd highly recommend him!!
