Peter has been very communicative throughout the process. Fought for affidavit so I don't have to since I am out of state. Helped guide me through the process since this is my first time and I felt relived knowing he was there for me. Got the case to be ACD and I just need to stay in the clear. ... Overall quite the experience and I made the right choice!

For those searching for a criminal defense lawyer, I highly recommend Peter Kolp. In September of this year, I found myself in steep legal trouble as I traveled from Canada to NY to attend a local music festival and was charged with Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance (CPCS) in the Seventh... Degree. As a foreigner in a foreign land with foreign laws, I was petrified playing out the possible consequences I might have to face. I got in touch with John Carney, who referred me to Peter, whom John works with. Peter is very knowledgeable of the NY legal system and has had many clients in the past that have dealt very drug possession charges. I wasn't able to travel to NY for my court date due to work commitments; Peter represented me and fought hard for the best outcome (ACD) for my case. He was prompt in his replies and was always patient in understand my concerns. I am very grateful for having retained his service, no complaints whatsoever. If you're still in the search for a defense lawyer, look no further and give Peter a call. You'll quickly find he is one of the best in town.

This past summer, I was arrested at a festival in NYC for criminal possession of a controlled substance where I was given a DAT to return at a later date to be arraigned. Traumatized and in a situation I've never been in before, I was introduced to Pete via John Carney (who he practices law with) who... I found on Avvo based on the excellent reviews. If you have not yet hired a lawyer, I highly recommend him! Pete's extremely knowledgeable, has experience in the NYC legal system previously as a criminal prosecutor, responds quickly to texts and calls and overall is a great, steady guy to speak with. He explained exactly what I could expect from the very beginning which minimized the uncertainty and stress I was facing. I also felt reassured and confident after speaking with him that he'd do his very best to get the best possible outcome. We were able to get the outcome we were looking for on my first court date which was ideal as I live out of state which means travel back to NYC is not only time consuming but costly. If you are currently looking for a lawyer, look no further! Hire Pete, you'll be glad you did.

In July of this year, I found myself in a very unfortunate situation where I was being charged with 2 felonies in a small town in Long Island for essentially possessing fake IDs. I hired the services of John Carney who referred me to Peter Kolp, who became my lawyer in dealing with this case. Through...out the process, Peter calmed my nerves - as I was terrified about the repercussions these charges would have on my future - and ensured that he would do the very best that he could in getting me the best results possible. On just the 2nd court date (which is extremely difficult to do for a case such as this in a small town such as that), he was able to get my felonies reduced to a simple violation that will be sealed and then erased after a duration of 6 months. I am so so grateful for Peter and his services. Truly a blessing in disguise. I highly recommend him for anyone who is in need of legal assistance!
