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.

Successful speeding ticket defense

My son received a speeding ticket that would have placed six points and a very large fine with surcharges on his drivers license. I contacted Mike and he explained two outcomes which would be good and better. We ended up with the better and the citation knocked down to a parking ticket and a much sma...ller fine. Good communication throughout from a knowledgeable attorney. Thank you Mike!

Not quite satisfied

Hired him for my first moving ticket. After paid him the check, seems he was not that patient with my discussion any more. The result comes out as not very satisfactory. If I personally were in the court, I may get the same result as he stated. He is just representing me not much of defense for me....

This client’s perception that I somehow lost patience with him is mistaken. I pride myself in always being available to discuss the status of your ticket and keeping a client informed at each and every stage in the process. Moreover, the result obtained in this case was exactly as we discussed at our initial conference.

Excellent Lawyer!

I was ready to send in my speeding ticket with a plea of guilty, but at the last minute decided to give Michael Kramer a call. Boy, am I glad I did! Instead of having a speeding conviction on my license, I retained Mr. Kramer and he achieved a reduction to a no-point parking ticket! I highly recomm...end Michael Kramer to anyone who wants to avoid a speeding conviction.

Excellent lawyer! Highly recommended!

Mr. Kramer is a great lawyer. He was able to get my 3 point ticket reduced to no points, even with a very tough prosecutor. He's very personable and honest and his rates are extremely reasonable. If I ever have another ticket I would use him again in a heartbeat.

Excellent lawyer

Mike Kramer is an answer to prayer. I was so stressed and scared that I would get my license suspended for speeding, and after one free phone consultation, I felt a tremendous sense of peace. After meeting with Mr. Kramer I felt hopeful that he could save my license and get me a reduced fine. That ...is exactly what happened. I ended up paying less than I thought too. I thank God for such a great lawyer. He is kind, smart, and knows the inner workings of the courts in Westchester. His help was greatly appreciated and I'm glad to know I can call him for help anytime I need advice. I even recommended him to a co-worker who recently got a speeding ticket. He's a good guy with good character and lots of heart. He will take care of you.
