Saved my life
Michael Borelli saved my life. I was faced with an extremely complicated and dangerous DWI case. He took the case the day I called him (Sunday) and he was ready to work. We brought down my charges to a violation / DWAI- Still unbelievable. No one else could have done what he did for me. He has connections all over Westchester County and will not stop till he gets you the best deal. Look no further

During an awful and stressful time, Mike Borrelli was a TRUE savior. For the first time through an incredibly complex situation (where other lawyers were too intimidated by the plaintiff), Mike came in like a pit bull and carefully looked at all the facts at hand and was not afraid to stand up to a corrupt individual who had made false reports and thought bc of their "title" that no one would challenge them. We are forever grateful to Mike Borrelli for his skill, talent and most of all human compassion. He saw the stress we were under and how the false allegations where weighing heavily on us and he refused to allow it to continue. I will forever recommend anyone I know that needs legal assistance to Mike. If you need help and you need someone who actually cares about what you are going through - look no further, Mike is your guy! He is honest, transparent and will give you his excellent opinion, advice and help.

Look no further! Best there is!
Words cannot explain how grateful i am. Due to the pandemic, he fought for me for an entire year. The time and attention he dedicated to me during my worst time, excelled my expectations. When you meet him you will notice he is more then overqualified! Thank you again from me and my family.

Expert
After meeting with Michael in person, he assured me I would be in great hands. He was very knowledgeable about my situation and went above and beyond in supporting me and my family. His rate was very reasonable, and I was very pleased with the outcome Mr. Borrelli achieved.

Best of the Best!
Michael is honestly the best attorney Ive ever hired. He’s incredibly smart, thoughtful, diligent and most important, experienced. His knowledge, know how and relationships in the Westchester legal system are second to none. He gives his clients an immediate sense of security, calm and confidence. In a word, he’s a total pro. I’d recommend Micheal every day of the week!

Excellent DWI Lawyer
I recently hired Michael to represent me after I was arrested for a DWI. It was obvious from our first meeting that he was very experienced in DWI law, having been the DWI Coordinator of the Westchester County District Attorney's Office for over 12 years. He was able to negotiate my misdemeanor DWI down to a violation, and save my driver's license. I was very happy that choose Michael, and his rate was very reasonable compared to other lawyers.
