Jeffrey Chabrowe is Awesome!

Facing criminal charges is stressful and unnerving. Jeffrey Chabrowe is the attorney you want on your side. I contacted Jeffrey Chabrowe Friday evening, and he worked his schedule to consult with me that evening. He listened to my side of the story, heard the Charge I was facing, and Jeffrey coun...seled me. He let me know my options, and what he recommended given the facts and the law. I had spoken with several other attorneys before calling Jeffrey Chabrowe. I was immediately impressed with Jeffrey’s knowledge of the law and his ability to explain (often) complex matters in a plain and straightforward manner. I’m Court Jeffrey spoke to the judge for me and advocated on my behalf against the prosecution. I would NOT have wanted to be alone in that situation. I believe having Jeffrey there allowed me to obtain the most favorable result possible (and the result was really good for me)! If you’re facing criminal charges in New York, then I would highly recommend considering Jeffrey Chabrowe. He’s legit. You won’t be sorry.

Amazing lawyer

Jeff has been a life saver! From day one I felt comfortable and very confident with Jeff. I was referred to Jeff years ago for my son, who was facing very serious charges. Since then we've hired Jeff for EVERY legal matter that has come our way. No matter what the severity of the case is , Jeff just... has this way of making you feel very confidant. He knows the system very well. He's extremely good at what he does! You have a client forever .Thanks Jeff!

He got me off!

I was charged with some pretty heavy stuff and I was very scared I'd be going away for a few years. Within minutes of meeting with Jeff Chabrowe I felt so much more at ease, as he explained to me how we could beat this thing. As amazing as Jeff was at calming me down and explaining his strategy to ...me, he was even better in the courtroom. He has such a command of the law, and of how the DAs and the police work. By the time he was done doing his thing in the courtroom, the jury found me not guilty and set me free. I owe my freedom to Jeff Chabrowe, and can't recommend him highly enough. I would absolutely hire him again.

No Joke: This man is a phenomenal attorney.

I was charged with 2nd degree Felonious Assault, Armed Robbery, and a slew over other charges on a single incident. I'm one of the most incredulous persons you'd ever meet when it comes to the judicial system, and sincerely singing anyone's praise on either side of the isle has definitely become a fi...rst. Jeff, being exceptionally sharp and attentive saw through all the murk in my case and was able to get all of my charges dismissed. Not only that, he did it at a quarter of the cost the other big law firms would. But make no mistake about it, this man in his own right, was worth far more than he charged. Jeff was also able to get a misdemeanor assault charge I had from a previous occasion thrown out. Jeff was brilliant, honest, and extremely compassionate during my dystopian reality. Despite my skepticism, Jeff assured me along the way what to expect and delivered it with consistent accuracy. Again, sounds like I'm sucking up, but Jeff consoled many important people in my life, along with myself, that everything was going to be fine. What happened? Not a blemish on my record. In my experience before Jeff Chabrowe, defense attorneys acted as if they were merely smokescreens for the prosecution: always forcing clients to plea. Never with Jeff. He was once a DA, and he's extremely astute and will keep you informed throughout the processes of an indictment. I was a baby lamb inside of wolves' labyrinth and Jeff held my hand throughout the eight months it took to get the charges dropped. If facing any serious charges, or, hell, small ones too, it would be foolish for anyone not to have Jeff be your number one consideration for defending you. This man is a force to be reckoned with when contending with the juggernaut that is the judicial system, now. Be upfront and honest with Jeff about your circumstances and expectations, and I'm extremely confident this man will shoot you straight and give you the best plausible outcome. I give him my highest recommendation, and look forward to never being in another situation to have to hire him again. But if I did, I wouldn't use anyone else. Trust me.

Excellent Criminal Defense Attorney

Jeff represented my husband in a criminal matter that occurred while we visiting NYC. Living on the other side of the country made our already confusing and upsetting situation much worse. Finding Jeff was invaluable. He has significant experience in criminal matters and spent seven years as an AD...A himself, so he knows the system better than most other attorneys. Jeff worked fast to get us the result we wanted. On top of that, he was easy to reach, responded quickly to phone calls and emails, and made himself available on nights and weekends to accommodate our busy schedule. Furthermore, Jeff is just an all-around nice guy who was easy to talk to and understood our concerns. I highly recommend Jeff to anyone needing an attorney and (if needed) I would hire him again in a heartbeat.
