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 conne...ctions all over Westchester County and will not stop till he gets you the best deal. Look no further

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 c...orrupt 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.
