Criminal Defense Attorney

Lee worked tirelessly to achieve the right result despite a great deal of resistance from both the prosecutor's office and co-counsel. He knows the system. He knows what it takes to handle a paper case as contrasted to most attorneys who have a general familiarity with the process and they will follo...w a mindset, like many of their brethren, to do what is expected, within limits, and then tell the client at the back end, they must settle for something that may not make any sense. Lee did not give up and yes, he achieved a result that allowed me to move on and get this case behind me, not any easy thing to do.

Education

Lee assisted with every aspect of our situation. Not only did he keep us informed, he kept us confident of the outcome. He was able to provide an expedited resolution to the matter. The outcome was satisfactory to me and my girlfriend's needs. I would recommend Lee's legal advise to anyone looking ...for a transparent attorney who provides results.

Above And Beyond

Recently, I was referred to Lee by a long-time family friend/attorney when someone filed a false report against me. Being an attorney myself, I am particularly discriminating when it comes to retaining counsel. But after one brief telephone conversation with Lee, I knew I needed to look no further.... Over the course of my case, Lee exceeded my expectations in every way. He began working on my case immediately, explained every step of the process in detail and was always accessible to answer my questions. Lee also used the skills, relationships and good will he built as a prosecutor to aid in my defense. I could not be more satisfied with the representation I received and will not hesitate to recommend Lee to others in the future.

Criminal Case

Recently a family member of mine was arrested for an alleged felonious assault. Lee was highly recommended to represent her in this matter and was retained. Lee was immediately available to interview the client, understood the wrongful circumstance of her arrest and passionately embraced pursuing a... dismissal of the charges. As an experienced former A.D.A. in Queens County, Lee was able to present a relevant and convincing case to the D.A.'s office which resulted in a pre-trial dismissal. Lee totally impressed us with his competence, diligence and passionate approach to his work. Lee is HIGHLY recommended.

Panicked and desperate

Lee was recommended to me by a freind after my son was arrested in the middle of the night, Lee got my call at 12:30 am and immediately started on the case by calling the precinct and gathering information, he was in court at 8 am discussing the case with the D A at 9:30 am my son was out, Lee unders...tood the panic and urgency that a parent go's through in situations like this, he was very reassuring to my son and me. I never wish for anyone to go through what I went through that night but I am very grateful to Lee. Thank you again.
