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.

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 ULTIMATE LAWYER FOR DWI

It is critical, when dealing with a DWI to have expert legal direction. Not only was Frank Raso compassionate, knowledgable, and efficient, but he was able to accomplish 100% of the goals that we set in court. DWI is a serious offense, that can impact the rest of your life. Putting our legal defense... in the hands of this remarkable man, has given us our lives back, and set my son's life off in the most positive of directions.

A Miracle Worker

Frank Raso is a highly professional and hardworking attorney. He treated my cases with so much TLC, that I am forever grateful. If he asked me to mow his lawn tomorrow, I would. Frank was always honest, keeping me well informed, and offering me sound advice as to how to proceed with my life followin...g some pretty crummy circumstances. He kept me calm during an otherwise unpredictable time in my life. Great guy. He's like a father figure....well in my case at least. Can't say enough good things. He will get the job done right!
