Truly A Great Lawyer

I was put in touch with Ed Sapone through my father in law, also an attorney, after an unfortunate series of circumstances led to my arrest. It was never a situation I thought I would find myself in in my entire life, but Ed and everyone at his office was approachable, understanding, and available th...roughout the process of dealing with the NYC court system and everything that came after. I truly felt like I was in good hands with people who not only understood, but cared. Ed is sincere, diligent, and passionate about what he does. I hope to never find myself or anyone I love in another criminal situation again, but if that does become the case, I know exactly who to call.

Satisfied and Grateful

When I met Edward Sapone my husband had just been arrested. I didn’t know who to turn to or what to do. I walked into court for my husband’s arraignment and Ed was there, sent by a mutual friend. He introduced himself and we made plans to meet at his office the next day to discuss our options. I ...was scared and did not have much money for my husband’s defense. From the minute I met Ed I felt comfortable and trusted him and his colleagues Chase and Delia. They was genuinely concerned, sincere and wanted to help. He worked out a way for us to afford him while doing everything he could to fight for my husband to get the best possible outcome. My husband was facing 20 years to life. Ed is extremely knowledgeable of the law. If he tells you he is going to do something he absolutely does, he is a man of his word. The eventual outcome was 57 months. Ed fought for my husband to be eligible for the RDAP drug program and halfway house. After serving 3 years my husband was home with us. Unfortunately after being home a little less than 2 months my husband was falsely violated by the halfway house and returned to prison. I immediately called Ed Sapone. No questions asked he wanted to help. Without taking a penny he and Chase (from his office) wrote an argument based on the facts on my husband’s behalf and referred us to a BOP lawyer who could help. We are still in the process of fighting this charge, but I am reassured and comforted knowing every step of the way we have Ed in our corner willing to return every phone call and answer every question. Doing all he can to help. Ed is not just our lawyer he has become a valued friend. In a world where most people are all about money it’s nice to know that there are still some lawyers like Ed that truly want to help people and have you and your family’s best interest at heart. If you need someone to fight for you, you won't find a better lawyer than Ed Sapone.

Grateful

I have been a healthcare professional for almost a decade now. Approximately a year ago, federal charges were being faced against me potentially crippling my career. After the initial contact with Mr. Sapone, he easily distinguished himself from the previous lawyers I spoke with. He was very professi...onal, knowledgeable and compassionate. Along with his strong staff (Chase and Delia), I was informed throughout the process. I always was able to contact someone in a short time which is a huge relief when dealing with these situations. Sitting in court at sentencing, I was sure the outcome would not be in my favor. The judge was adamant with his feelings and strongly expressed it and opposed Mr. Sapone's argument. Somehow, after being backed in a corner, Ed stood his ground and continued to passionately, deliver his argument. I truly do not feel I would have received the same outcome if I didn't have Mr. Sapone. I received the best outcome possible. I was not incarcerated and I am actively continuing my career.

Knowledgeable, Compassionate and Dedicated Attorney

Mr. Sapone is the consummate professional who’s heartfelt approach is sensed the moment you speak with him. He helped me through one of the most difficult times in my life with such kindness and consideration. His vast knowledge of the law and our legal system has surpassed many of the professional...s I've dealt with. He guided me through step by step as if I were a member of his family. This was an organized crime case with complex twists and turns, but he handled every movement deliberately and with such precision. I was amazed at his skill set and the dedication of his staff. I would highly recommend Mr. Sapone and can truly call him a friend for life.

Consummate Professional

I hired Edward to help and guide me though the criminal justice system as a victim of a crime. Ed was referred to me via another attorney due to his outstanding reputation in the field of criminal law. I could not have been more impressed with his zealous advocacy, honesty, and general assistance th...rough what was one of the hardest experiences I have had in my life to date. Ed carefully and thoughtfully explained the judicial system to me and was my advocate through and through. I don't think I could have faced our labyrinthian system without him. While I hope no one ever has to go through what I did, please know that Ed is the attorney of choice if you ever find yourself a victim of crime in need of truly effective counsel and guidance.
