First-rate attorney

I'm generally a critic and "tough customer" and I almost never post glowing reviews. But Frank Raso is the "no brainer" choice for defense in Rockland. Not only did he know precisely what was around the corner and precisely what risks I was facing, he was doggedly determined to help me navigate keep ...me moving swiftly through the process. I hired him on the recommendation of another area "Super Lawyer" to assist in a DWI misdemeanor charge. He connected me with an outstanding state-approved professional to conduct a formal bio-psychosocial assessment to present to the prosecutor and judge, he worked closely with the prosecutor to explain my mitigating circumstances, and succeeded in having the charge reduced to a traffic infraction. It was quite a disruptive life lesson in general. But Frank makes sure you're clear about what's happening and that you understand what comes next in a situation where things easily become emotionally overwhelming. He is to be trusted in cases like mine and he has earned his credentials as the leader in this area. I unequivocally recommend him to anyone facing similar charges.

The man who gets things done!

This was my first time being in trouble with the law and I didn't know of many lawyers. My moms friend recommended Frank and I looked him up online and then met with him for a consultation. I have never made a better decision in my life; I hired Frank as my attorney and he got results. My case was a ...tough one to win as I was accused of a DWI and had gotten into a car accident. The odds were against me and Frank was always honest with me, gave me great advice and just helped me out through this stressful time. Although things didn't seem to be going my way, he was always working hard and constantly updating me on new information. In the end, he got me off with a traffic infraction. I highly recommend frank for being a great guy and a great lawyer.

Excellent Lawyer

I have never been in legal trouble in my life. A dear friend recommended Frank to me and I hired him to defend me. He was diligent, persistent, and excellent communicator and really helped me out. I would recommend his services to anyone.

Nyack's Best Attorney BY Far!

I recently hired Frank to represent me in a complex situation involving multiple charges with serious implications. During our initial consultation I was immediately impressed by Frank's comprehensive knowledge of the law and his ability to explain all of the ramifications in simple, understandable t...erms. After two court appearances, Frank was able to negotiate an amazing outcome that was the best case scenario for my situation. He was compassionate and concerned for me as a person as was well as for my legal issues. I highly recommend Frank Raso for any legal issues that you may have.

Frank is intelligent, clear and fast. He quickly understood my situation and what my options were. Frank laid it out in layman's terms for me. He got me to the exact settlement he promised. I would highly recommend him.
