Lance Fletcher

I hired the firm's services after I was stopped outside Yankee stadium after getting caught taking a puff of Marijuana. I was on vacation too so to find myself in a cell for 3-4 hours and then dreading criminal charges was a nightmare scenario. I then called the offices of Lance Fletcher and schedule...d a consultation the following day. After meeting with Meeting with Mr.Fletcher and seeing his professionalism and confidence of a positive outcome I didn't hesitate when it came to hiring his firm. It also really eased my mind for the rest of my vacation and the following weeks (I'm a worrier by nature) and the verdict he got for me was better than what he had told me he thought we'd get. I got off without anything on my record or even a fine.

My partner and I were being stupid and smoking a joint in a public park. We were arrested and charged with PL 221.10 (misdemeanor B). Since this was our first (and hopefully last) run-in with the law, we were confused on what was going to happen. After searching around, I contacted Mr. Fletcher,... since we thought his website was very informative and realistic, as well as good reviews. At the free-consultation, he was very attentive to every detail of our case, and answered all of our questions and addressed our concerns. Since this was our first arrest, he was very confident that we would get an ACD. However, we were both in a situation where an open ACD would still be problematic (the standard duration is 1 year). He told me his strategy to try to get it reduced, and I trusted him so I hired him. At the court date, we were able to get a drastically shortened ACD. Based on my own research, I was very confident that we would get the ACD. However, the duration can vary widely depending on the skills of the lawyer and a bit of luck. Mr. Fletcher was able to get us an extremely reduced duration of the ACD, even shorter than my optimistic expectations. I strongly recommend him if you ever get in trouble for marijuana cases in New York. He has extensive experience in the area and has good relationships with various people at the courts.

There's a lot to this story. But to keep it short; I was unjustly arrested and charged with possession of marijuana. Being that the police had taken me down to booking and charged me for marijuana that I didn't even have, I was convinced that I wouldn't get a fair trial. So I never showed up to cour...t. This created another set of problems, because now I had a warrant. I didn't want to depend on a public defender, who would have probably told me to plead guilty for a light sentence (for weed that I didn't even have). But I was broke and couldn't afford proper representation. So I had to wait. I tried to live life trouble free, but if a trooper in another state just happened to pull me over for whatever reason, and ran my name, the warrant would show up. I searched through many attorneys in New York, and called a few. Lance Fletcher stuck out. He was a bit pricier than the others, but after talking with him over the phone, something told me that he was the right guy. He was willing to talk about my situation and let me know what the possible outcomes were. He didn't make any false promises, which I appreciated. But he made it clear what outcome he would pursue, and he did. He's a professional. It was money well spent.

I can not emphasize enough how grateful I am for having Lance Fletcher as my attorney. He is dedicated and devoted in his work, and as a result my case got dismissed. As a former District Attorney, his experience and knowledge is truly valuable in getting the results you, as a client, wants. He kept ...all his words, and I would recommend him to anyone who might need legal help. I was wrongfully charged for marijuana possession, and Lance was able to get the case dismissed and all the fingerprints and photos destroyed. I can not thank him enough for his help in this matter.

Having spent over 35 years as a police psychologist and forensic psychologist in Europe and the Western U.S., I found myself arrested in NYC on a drug charge while there as a tourist. After being released by the cops I got a Court date for some 6 weeks later. Hence, I had to interview lawyers over t...he phone. Here are some facts that made me decide on Mr. Fletcher. He was reachable by phone right away. Always got back to me promptly. He is a former D.A. in the very Court where my case would be handled. He was professional and had a terrific working relationship. He made every Court appearance himself. So the bottom line: Hire this man!
