Outstanding

Mr. Fenstermaker went above and beyond the call of duty in my appeal. When he uncovered withholding of exculpatory evidence (among other things), he could have pretended he never saw it like most lawyers. He told me about it, and went ahead to file the appropriate motions, which cost him many more ho...urs than stipulated in the retainer. Needless to say, I lost my appeal due to the hideous corruption in Westchester County and the rubber stamping Court of Appeals. He's an absolute professional, and will work harder for you than anyone else I know. Unfortunately for me, just the polar opposite of my trial attorney.
