Posted by Brian | September 19, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Copyright Infringement

Saved The Day

We had a very specific case that appeared to involved copyright infringement. Mr. Zeman was recommended to us through my Real Estate Attorney's office as a Criminal Defense Lawyer who was very versatile in other types of cases and circumstances of other practices of law. We consulted with Ben and his... partners twice, and ended up hiring Ben and his team. The confidence, surety and breadth of knowledge of Ben and team was very reassuring, and on the court dates, Ben won out twice for us! I highly recommend Ben and his partners. Competent, skillful, very considerate in a client's time of need is how I would describe their service. Reasonable fees and retainers were agreed upon in their comfortable Brooklyn offices. Excellent! Thank you Ben and Partners!

Great Criminal Defense Lawyer

In addition to being smart and knowledgeable, Mr. Zeman was able formulate an aggressive position in our defense while consistently remaining a kind and empathic attorney when dealing with us. Would not hesitate to recommend.
