Knowledgeable, Smart, Humble, Helpful & Gets Results

We hired Frank to assist with a DWI violation. This was a very scary situation for our family and we did not know what to do. Frank was very kind and patient; first putting our mind at ease as he explained his experience with cases like ours, then moved forward to explain the process, the options ava...ilable to us, the best possible outcome along with the worst possible outcome. After that, we discussed a strategy for the best possible outcome. We sincerely appreciated the education provided as it helped us to set our expectations. Frank succeeded to work on our case and achieved the best possible outcome. For those reading my review, I completely understand the feeling of uncertainly when looking for someone to represent you. It can be very difficult to determine a "Good" lawyer from a "So-So" lawyer. Frank is not only a "good" lawyer, I would say he is among the "BEST" in his profession. As the case is now behind us, we hope that we will not need a lawyer on a matter like this again, but if we do, Frank is on speed-dial.

Best attorneys get the best results

Over 6 months ago Frank took on my headache of a case which was 3 warrants that were 9 years old. After giving Frank the information he needed and trusting his better judgement, all 3 warrants and all charges were dismissed!! After 9 years !!! I didn’t even know I had these warrants until last ye...ar. He handled it brilliantly with the judge and I can’t even believe it was that easy. Let’s face it the system is ugly so be smart and hire an attorney who treats you like Family and will do his absolute best. Common sense goes along way. Even after I questioned Frank several times on strategy’s he still stuck it out with me. A true gentleman ! In the end I’m a free man with no worries. Thank you Frank and your office for the supreme job. I will be sending you Wedding invitations one day ! Extremely grateful - John Cosares

Frank J. Raso esq.

It is my privilege to recommend Frank Raso as my attorney for a DWI  charge.  I acquired two charges over 10 years and he has handled both with diligence and compassion.  Being a PhD scientist I was unfamiliar with the law and Frank was clearly knowledgeable and clearly explained the options and rami...fications.  He truly cares about his clients.  I completely trust his judgement and would  highly recommend his services.

Amazing DWI Attorney

Mr. Raso is a great attorney, his expertise in DWI matters are second to none. The DA's office would not offer a deal so we went to trial. I was found NOT GUILTY. What more could you ask? Thank you Mr. Raso!!

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.
