I was false arrested by NYPD. After I had disappointed from legal Aid Society, I had Hired Mr. Emdin Jeffery which I was really impressed by his legal experience. He is a transparent and straightforward individual. He helped me with my case all the way to trial. He chose jury trial instead of bench trial which was a smart decision. I highly recommend Mr. Emdin for civil or criminal matter for everyone who needs legal help.

Great attorney. Arrested for felony assault and charged with hitting a former NYPD detective, Emdin got me released on my own recognizance at my arraignment; then he got the case dismissed on my first follow-up court appearance. Dude is that good. Most attorneys know the law, but few can translate the facts into a compelling narrative that can sway courts, prosecutors and jurors into seeing the injustice of the case against you. Emdin can do that. I recommend him 100%

I hired Jeff Emdin after I sustained substantial injuries in a car accident. Jeff was very sensitive to my physical and emotional well-being, and I felt in good hands throughout the 3-year process of resolving my lawsuit. Jeff guided me expertly through the process of making a strong case. He advised me to keep a journal. He assured that my medical support team submitted treatment documentation. He explained and was supportive throughout the deposition process. Throughout the 3 years, he always responded promptly to my questions and concerns. His paralegal, Karen Astudillo, was highly capable and, like Jeff, an excellent communicator. Clearly, Jeff has a top-notch practice. I feel fortunate to have worked with him, am satisfied with the outcome of the lawsuit, and strongly recommend him.

Jeff Emdin is a Grade A Lawyer. He represented me well while I retained him. His level of integrity is desired! He was honest and respected my time. Jeff is a well liked person even by his legal adversaries which makes his job of representing his clients easy! He is casual when necessary and dresses beyond satisfactory when appropriate! I was referred to Jeff and would refer him to anyone I know. No complaints just a happy customer!
