Warrant

I hired Ali for my father who was arrested at the airport for a warrant that was from another state. We were on our way to Europe when my father was pulled out of the plane. We had no idea what the warrant was about, but my father was arrested and we were told by a legal aid lawyer that we had to wai...t for my father to be picked up by the agents from Florida. They told us it can take 2 to 3 weeks. We hired Ali the same day and we could not believe what he did. Ali managed to work out an arrangement with the judge and prosecutors and they agreed to release my father with low bail and to turn himself to Florida on his own. My father got out the same day and we returned to Florida to clear up this mess. I could not be more appreciative for what Ali has done to our family, he picked up our calls, responded to our concerns, and just went far and beyond until my father was out. God bless him

Blessing from God

Let me start off simply by saying how I came to meet Ali. I was in queens criminal court, where I arrived on my court date with no lawyer to appear for a DAT. As I was walking Ali overhood me talking to my parents, and approached us asking if we needed a lawyer which we didn’t at the time. He immedia...tely told us he would handle it and that he would get the charged dismissed which is what happened. I got arrested again for multiple felony chargers where I contacted Ali again and he explained to me every detail of the case, what we can expect to happen during the trial date. Ali is the most humble, understanding, knowledgeable criminal attorney I have ever dealt with. Long story short he got me and my brother to avoid jail time and a criminal conviction. Just had to pay fines and do some community hours which is way better than what I was allegedly facing in the beginning. Speaking from experience, getting arrested was the most nerveracking, emotional time in my life. Ali over- exceeding my expectations. If you are reading this and looking for a attorney in NY, Trust me Ali Benchakroun is the attorney you need to hire. I was able to keep my record clean for any conviction!!!!

Best outcome possible with Ali ! Trustworthy!!

I unfortunately had a DWI and was facing multiple charges , including injuring a police officer after crashing into a police car. Also fleeing the scene and blowing more than almost 3 Times the legal limit . For sure I was facing jail time , and to say that this was a difficult case, is an understat...ement. Ali went out of his way to ensure that I got the best possible outcome and he went above and beyond in every way imaginable. I ended up with some programs , but avoided any jail time in the end . He is the most trustworthy attorney I have ever met, and I would highly recommend him for any type of criminal case. He’s very knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything in detail. I was so stressed and scared about the overall outcome, but he made me feel relieved . He is very empathetic and made himself available anytime I needed advice or even just someone to talk to and ease my worries and anxiety. I could not be happier . Thank you Ali for all of your hard work and dedication.

Review

My mother introduced me to Ali because he helped her out on a different case. When i was charged with felony assault in Manhattan my mother told me to call him. I did, and he really looked out for me. I never met a lawyer who i saw eye to eye with. He beat all charges, i didnt do a day in jail, and ...thankfully im over that headache that could have messed up my life. Ali is more than a lawyer, he is family.
