NYC best lawyer

From the moment we met Fred, I knew my husband and I were in the hands of someone who truly cared—not just about the case, but about us as people. Facing a federal white-collar charge was the most frightening chapter of our lives. The stakes were high, the process overwhelming, and the uncertainty al...most unbearable. But Fred never wavered. He listened without judgment, explained every step in plain language, and built a defense strategy that was as thorough as it was brilliant. Fred didn’t just defend my husband—he fought for our future. His attention to detail was unmatched, his preparation tireless, and his courtroom presence commanding. He was able to humanize my husband in front of the court and highlight the facts that truly mattered. The result was far better than we ever dared hope for, and we owe that entirely to Fred’s skill, dedication, and heart. If you are facing a federal case and feel like the world is collapsing, Fred is the attorney you want standing beside you. He is not only a legal expert but also a source of strength, hope, and fierce advocacy. I will forever be grateful for what he has done for our family.

Irresponsible lawyer, don’t loose your money

I was represented by this lawyer, I paid 20,000, and what I did was lose my family's money, he just seeks cooperation agreements, and tells you false promises. If you're looking for an honest lawyer, don't really think about Frederick Sosinski

Excellent Lawyer, raises good points

Fred Sosinsky was on my case for Manslaughter, assult and practicing medicine without a license. I was facing 15 years. With his knowledge and expertise and the points this man raised. I was sentenced to 1 1/3-4 years in which I was paroles at 18 months. If your facing jail time it is imperative tha...t you hire him IMPERATIVE. I am a witness of his hard work and his dedication to the law.
