DONT DO IT

Back in 2012 this man told me to cop out to 10 years after being detained for only about 3 months on Rikers island After I told him I was innocent he insisted I was guilty and me doing 10 years I should be home in my early 30s. In filled a complaint with the bar association and he removed his self ...from the case. This man should be stripped of his license.

Do not use him for your defense you will be sure to be found guilty cause he does not care about you just about the money

I actually never hired Mitch Sal away, but I worked in the Court system and I saw how we treated his clients. He would talk behind their backs and make fun of them. He only cared about getting paid and never really put his heart and soul into helping others. It was all about the money so he could go... on his next trip to Paris. I personally know cause he mentioned to me when I worked how much he couldn’t stand his clients. What a disgrace I’m sorry to have to write this review but he’s a horrible human being and an absolutely horrible attorney.

Out of Jail

Salaway filed a motion for me to get out of Rikers during covid and it worked.

Program Success

Mr. Salaway was able to get me a treatment program when my prior attorney could not. He helped me work my way through the program resulted in felony charges dismissed.
