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.

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.

In Praise of Michael Kramer, With Much Gratitude.

What I appreciated most about working with Michael Kramer was the feeling I had when he said, "Let me take care of it." Not only did he take care of "it", he took care of "me", and the feelings I was having about a legal circumstance that seemed very beyond my control or understanding. Michael le...d me through a process that helped me to feel empowered, as well as informed and truly supported. The questions he asked were always with the intention to simply clarify exactly what we were dealing with from my perspective, and he would always offer the most likely way in which the court would respond, given all of the circumstances. He was clear, kind, and authoritative, and I could also tell that he was highly respected by the judge and the Assistant DA of New York. Michael also helped me to achieve the best possible outcome from my case, which I am certain was not a guarantee. It was specifically because I was working with him, and he was truly working for me. I learned just how much legal circumstances can change, alter, and interrupt one's life and well-being, and I am so grateful to have been in the hands of one of the best people I could have had on my side. I recommend him without reservation.

Experienced, professional, personable.

We have been extremely satisfied with our experiences utilizing Mr. Kramer's legal services. This past year we required his support with two separate incidents, one involving multiple appointments in county court. Mr. Kramer is extremely professional and also personable, explaining the legal processe...s to us in terms anyone can understand, alleviating our uncertainty and our worries. His experience in the courtroom and with his clients is unparalleled and we were very pleased with our results. We would not hesitate to call upon him again and highly recommend his services to anyone requiring legal help.
