This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

SIMPLY THE BEST!!!

If you’re looking for the absolute best lawyer—someone who is not only a master of the law but also a fierce advocate, brilliant strategist, and genuinely compassionate human being—look no further. From day one, John Ingrassia proved to be everything you could ever hope for in legal representation ...and more. His knowledge of the law is second to none. He anticipated every move, countered every challenge, and turned what felt like an impossible situation into a clear path forward. Communication was impeccable—he explained complex legal issues in a way that was easy to understand, kept me informed every step of the way, and never made me feel like just another case. What truly sets Mr.Ingrassia apart is his relentless dedication. He went above and beyond, putting in long hours and fighting for my best interests as if they were his own. You don’t just get a lawyer with Mr. Ingrassia you get a warrior, a counselor, and a partner in your corner. Thanks to Larkin Ingrassia , I came out stronger, more informed, and with a result that exceeded all expectations. I can’t recommend Mr. Ingrassia highly enough. If you need someone who will truly have your back. I cannot thank the entire team at Larkin Ingrassia enough,for they got a life changing outcome for me, and in my eyes a second chance at life. What ever your situation might be, give yourself the best fighting chance and that starts with John Ingrassia. Hands down,the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!

John Ingrassia the best and worth every penny!!

John ingrassia is by far the best lawyer, very knowledgable, very trust worthy and treats you with respect and puts his 100% in to all his case.

Great attorney with compassion and concern. If you found Mr. Ingrassia, you found one of the best! A real top-notch defender!

I consulted with Mr. Ingrassia for a vehicular assault case in NYC. He provided great insight and feedback and was very responsive to my concerns. He was easy to communicate with and compassionate about the entire situation. He has a strong grasp on criminal law and dwi defense and is considered one ...of best trial attorneys in the state. Mr. Ingrassia has spent a lot of time and effort to get the proper education and training required to masterfully handle a DWI case in NY. He is a leading practitioner in this specialized area of law. He is the product of relentless education, training, and experience and his commitment and passion for excellence in his field is unsurpassed. If you are charged with any kind of criminal offense, from dwi to murder, you will be hard pressed to find a better guy on your side than Mr. John Ingrassia!
