Criminal Case

Ben -was a blessing in disguise I was fighting some very serious criminal charges however, from day one Ben advised me we will get through this with a not guilty verdict. Ben was very confident and always communicated to me strategy and always checked on my well being. I would highly recommend Ben Ca...lev he has shown high character and was more than a private attorney he is a life long friend. Thank you for everything and always being positive and straight forward. Ps. We won our case and I am forever grateful. Thank you again!

Highly Recommended Lawyer

Hello, When I contacted Mr. Calev I was impressed on how he presented himself on the phone. What I was being charged with was so severe I knew was in trouble. Hiring Mr. Calev as an attorney was the best decision I made. He kept reassuring me that everything is going to be all right. He helped me f...ight my case for 7 months. The end result was that he got my case dismissed.

Outstanding service with excellent results

I was facing a felony charge in February, 2016 which could have resulted in multiple years in prison. My aunt recommended Mr. Calev who fought hard for me to get a reduced sentenced and be released from jail. I don't have enough words to describe how amazing the experience was with Mr. Calev. It was ...such a relief to know there was someone looking out for my best interest. I highly recommend him to anyone fighting any type of criminal charge. Also, he is very good in advocating for his clients.

Reliable, trustworthy and caring lawyer

I highly recommend mr. Benjamin Calev. I hired him last year to represent a relative in a criminal matter. From the beginning till the end he has proven to be reliable, trustworthy and caring. He answers questions promptly and is always a phonecall away. He would visit my relative in the hospital, ca...ll to check in and ensure they were being treated well. This was not part of his service but he did it anyway. I recently had to use his services for my divorce and again he has done an excellent job. I recommend him without hesitation.

Fixed the Mess

Benjamin entered my legal troubles after NYS State attorneys not only refused to speak to me but tried to pull shenanigans over on me. The Judge presiding was even frustrated with the attorney's and gave them a stern warning on the side that I overheard as to why they were not offering a deal to me ...that they offered to many others before me and even undocumented individuals. She informed me I needed a lawyer. I tried to represent myself but no one would help me or even talk to me from the state. A friend of mine recommended Benjamin. Benjamin met with me right away and I was instantly put at ease. Benjamin told me not to worry that he would take care of it. The opposing attorneys made Benjamin jump through a few hoops and a second court date as well but he didn't give up and presented the real evidence that needed to come out and showed the judge that while he did his due diligence for me (his client) the DA didn't and that they were basing their stand on non-factual information and never checked their sources. Benjamin brought the evidence backing it up. Without Benjamin in my corner I could have been serving jail time, paying large fines, and had a criminal record all for what was a simple mistake by the State. Benjamin isn't afraid to take on other attorneys and hold them to the truth. Thank you so much Benjamin. I hope that I don't need to use you again but if ever I do I will not hesitate to call you.
