DUI and DWI 40%

DWI law can be extremely complicated. That is why you need a specialist in this area. No lawyer can guarantee a particular result, but I can assure you that no stone will be left unturned in my effort to obtain the best possible result.

Good people make mistakes. Rarely do I see stereotypical hardened criminals. I focus on criminal defense because it is highly rewarding to help good people get through a frightening and complicated situation.

Mike's the Best!!

“I wish to take this opportunity to thank Mike for the fine job he did in representing me on my speeding ticket. He spent all the time I needed explaining the process, kept me posted each step of the way, and achieved a result much better than anticipated (a six-point speeding ticket reduced to a pa...rking ticket). And best of all, I did not have to go to court.”

Kind, Patient and Helpful!

I found Mr. Kramer on Avvo and I am thankful for his patience. I was nervous about a ticket I received and he was very calm and confident about helping resolve it. Since I couldn't take off from work, he reassured me that he would handle everything and he did! His pricing exceeded expectations and I ...would recommend him to others who find themselves in a similar dilemma.

Better than Expected

Got a speeding ticket in Chappaqua/Pleasantville, NY area - where the courts are supposedly pretty unforgiving. Called MK and discussed the situation and my driving history briefly, and he gave me both best and worst case scenarios in terms of how much I might pay at the end. I was looking at maxim...um 4pts + court + ticket fees. Sent in my ticket and MK handled the rest. He called me several weeks later with even better news than I expected - MK was able to get my case dismissed! Totally worth all of the legal fee paid. Would seek out MK again, if ever necessary, but hopefully not!

Speeding Ticket in White Plains

A few months ago, I got caught in a speed trap coming off of exit 8 of IT-287. I was extremely distraught since I also received a cell phone ticket in NYC from a year ago. Thus, I was facing a possible license suspension on top of the additional driver responsibility penalty. I did some searching ...on the internet and called several traffic lawyers. I always spoke with some assistant that didn't know anything. Not to mention that their rates were around 50 percent higher than what Michael was asking for. When I called Michael's office, he personally answered the phone and the calm in his voice immediately put me at ease. I went in for a consultation on the same day and he walked me through every step of the process as well as the nuances of the particular court we were dealing with. He asked a ton of questions to familiarize himself with my situation and gave me the best and worst case scenarios as is mentioned in other reviews. I received a call soon after my pre-trial conference appointment in which Michael nonchalantly explained to me that he was able to get the best case scenario! My 6-point speeding ticket was downgraded to a zero-point $150 parking ticket! I say nonchalantly because the calmness in his voice didn't waiver and he remained humble; not expecting any praise. This was simply his job and he does it extremely well.

Resolved traffic ticket

I am very pleased with the resolution Mr. Kramer obtained for me regarding my traffic ticket. He handled everything; I did not even have to Travel to the court after contacting him. He let me know at our initial phone consultation what the best and worst case scenarios could be, and I am pleased that... he obtained the best scenario at the end. He put my mind at ease saying he would take care of everything, and he did. We spoke of few days before he was to meet with the prosecutor, he went over everything and I knew what to expect. Of course I was nervous the day he was going to the courthouse for me, but I was surprised I wasn't even more nervous.i absolutely feel this was because he was calm and confident, telling me he was taking care of everything. He called me from the courthouse, let me know what was going on, and followed up with a letter 2 days later confirming the details. I am pleased with the process and would not hesitate again to retain his services.
