Great Lawyer!

Hired George for a DV stalking case. Started off with 13 charges ended up with a sealed violation. George handled the case quickly and efficiently, ended up with no criminal record.

Best criminal lawyer in NY!!

This was perhaps the most helpful lawyer I had ever encountered. Willing to bend over backwards for me even when it didn't benefit him. Selfless and Transparent are the best words to describe him. I never really been in legal trouble before and had a lot of questions and George made himself readily ...available for any questions and concerns I had. Being in legal trouble can bring a lot of stress into your life and he did his best to eliminate any thoughts of the unknown and expressed all of my options. If anything were to happen again he would be the first call I make.

George is the lawyer you want

Look no further; George is the lawyer you WANT to represent you! I would recommend him to any of my friends and family members. I spoke to and met a lot of expensive lawyers before George that immediately said we were going to need to go to trial. I remember that speaking to him felt like a breath o...f fresh air. Unlike any of the other lawyers I spoke to, George patiently listened to me, he was authentic, knowledgable, experienced and even caring. He calmed me down, explained all the possible outcomes, and was willing to work with me in regards to what I could afford. He did not oversell himself, he did not try to scare me into needing his representation, he did not mention trial and I hired him because I immediately felt like he was someone I could trust. I'm glad I did and I'm so very thankful for his time and efforts. After the second time we had to go back to court, I was willing to take a plea, but he did not let me give up. He looked out for my best interest throughout the entire process. We did not have to go to trial and he managed to get all of the charges dismissed. My record was unaffected. His courtroom demeanor was exceptional and admirable; he demanded respect and fought for me. George is worth every penny I paid; he is not only a great lawyer, but a seemingly great human being. So stop reading reviews... Give him a call and (or) hire the man. I trust that you will not be disappointed.

Excellent Lawyer & Person

Though he handles many DWI/DUI's cases George still seems to pay close attention to each and every client he represents. Whenever I had a question or needed something from him he always replied in a timely manner. He was very honest in discussing the possible outcomes of my case, what I was facing an...d what was the best way to proceed. I was recommended to him by a friend and I would in turn recommend him to any friends I have.

Exceptional & Determined

George is beyond exceptional in his determination in winning. There is no middleman. He is there for you from beginning to end. I felt comfortable the day I met him and felt invincible because he made me feel that way. He returns every call and answers all questions you may have. George is exceptiona...l. I highly recommend.
