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.

Achieves the Best Possible Outcome

George turned a horrible situation (a laundry list of charges from D Misdemeanors to C Felonies) into a strategy that got the prosecutor on the same page as us and as a result, virtually complete dismissal of all charges and no record. He will educate you and calm your nerves, instill patience and... vigilance in you throughout the process, command respect and empathy in the courtroom and when dealing with the prosecution, and will deliver the best possible result out of a seemingly hopeless situation.

If you're looking for the real deal, you found it!

Mr. Vomvolakis is professional, intelligent, & experienced. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone and would hire him again if the need arose. He is a master litigator. He possesses a quiet charm that helps put everyone at ease (his client, opposing counsel & the judge). I retained Mr. Vomvol...akis for a criminal defense case and he displayed a working knowledge of the law and judicial system. In addition, he provided necessary insight & strategic planning for my case. He is trustworthy and confident. In short, he is the real deal and worth every penny I paid.

George A. Vomvolakis Review

I can state unequivocally that George Vomvolakis was the most competent, conscientious, and generally valuable lawyer I could have hired for my criminal defense case. He was charged with a task of proving I was wrongfully accused me of something. From the moment I met with George I could tell he ev...idences great pride in the quality of his work. Not only does he posses the skills and the attitude that was so valuable in providing me the results that I wanted, his experience dealing with both sides (prosecution and defense) was exceptionally clear. M opinion is that George was exceptional and I recommend him to any one seeking a lawyer with regards to a criminal defense case without reservation.

The absolute best lawyer in NYC

A family member was involved in the most serious of crimes you can think of. Although it was self defense, Nassau County has a conviction rate of 99%, and we were all sure that he'd be convicted no matter the circumstances. I thank God EVERY day for George Vomvolakis. I can't think of a better lawyer... out there. He fought so hard and cared so much that the charge was acquitted! This is almost unheard of in Nassau County, but he did it. I recommend George to anyone who needs help. He is not just in it for the money, he really cares and there is nobody better. He gave a young man back his life..there is nothing he wouldn't do for his client and even though I hope we NEVER need his services again, we are always updating him on the progess of our lives and we are always letting him know that without him, nothing would've been possible....I know most lawyers get a bad rap - but not this one! Even if the outcome turned out differently, our praise would still be the same beause we saw the commitment he took with this case. We love you George.
