Tenacious Lawyer

Jonathan Kaye is simply the most committed attorney I've ever encountered (there's been many). From the moment I first give him a call, he gave unmatched willingness to listen my case all the while putting me at ease on the process and approach we would take moving forward. When all the odds were sta...cked against me, he fought tenaciously to get an unbelievable outcome for my case and future. If you or a loved one are ever unfortunately facing a DWI, make sure you at least call Jonathan Kaye when weighing representation options. You'll find that Jonathan stands out in authenticity from the many NY attorneys and his price point, advocacy, and services are simply far better than those at 4-5 times the fee.

Can't go wrong the best DWI lawyer you can ever Find!!!

Our case was very difficult but the outcome of what we thought it was impossible he made it possible. He calls it a miracle, we call it the best DWI lawyer you can ever find. He is honest and straightforward. He was always there every step of the way and giving us that special family warmth welcome e...very time. Thank you Mr. Kaye.

Hands down, the best lawyer EVER!!!!!

"Although I only charge $1500, I treat all my cases like a $10,000 case." Mr. Jonathan Kaye said these words to me the day we met at the courthouse in 2017. I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical as all other DWI attorneys in my area charged a minimum of $5,000 retainer fee. As a first time o...ffender, one could only imagine the fear I was experiencing. During my arrest, I blew high enough to be convicted of a felony. However, that was not the case thanks to Mr. Kaye. As a former ADA, he knew exactly what to do and what to say to get my charges reduced to almost nothing. I mean, I was facing up to a year in prison. Working his magic, he was able to get the DA to reduce my charges to a misdemeanor. "Every call is answered by a lawyer." This is also so true of Jonathan Kaye (he will actually give you his cell phone number). I've called Mr. Kaye during the past one and a half years for different reasons. Each time I called, he picked up. And if he didn't pick up, he'd return my call before the end of the day. He responds to texts as well. I mean, who does that?! I will tell you who: Jonathan Kaye. I had an Interlock Device installed in my vehicle as part of my reduced charges. There were malfunctions with the device (it was eventually replaced by a functional device). I remember calling him crying because I kept getting violations. Mr. Kaye calmed me down and assured me that everything was going to be okay. Even after my case was over, Mr. Kaye still made himself available to me (at no extra charge) as I still had questions about the Interlock Device. He was able to speak with the DA and remarkably somehow convinced the DA not to proceed with additional charges. Thanks to Mr. Kaye, I am now eligible to have my IDD removed at the anniversary date of installation. I don't have to face the judge for a new charge and I do not have to have the device removed at a later date due to the violations reported to the Monitoring Agency. I will be forever grateful for everything Mr. Kaye has done for me. If you want someone that will be with you every step of the way (and I mean EVERY step of the way) that will not treat you like a criminal, that listens, and that will ALWAYS make himself available to you, look no further. I promise you he will not disappoint.

Excellent lawyer

Jonathan Kaye is an excellent lawyer. I retained him for a DWI matter. He was able to get the case dismissed. This occurred in the early 1990's. But I am grateful not to have a criminal conviction on my record. When it comes to DWI or DUI arrest, he is truly the best.

BEST LAWYER

I HIRED KAYE 1 DAY BEFORE MY BROTHERS COURT CASE. THE JUDGE WAS GOING TO GIVE HIM 1 YEAR SENTENCE FOR A DWI CASE. HE GOT MY BROTHERS SENTENCE DISMISSED AND HE WAS RELEASED. I'VE HAD A DWI ATTY IN THE PAST.. BUT NOTHING COMPARES TO MR. KAYE. HE IS BY FAR THE BEST PERSON TO HAVE REPRESENT YOU. HE IS AF...FORDABLE, WORKS FAST AND WILL BE COMPLETELY HONEST WITH YOU. UNLIKE OTHER LAWYERS WHO WILL JUST TAKE YOUR MONEY... DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME SEARCHING FOR A LAWYER. HIRE HIM.! THANK YOU MR. KAYE!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
