Great guy and skilled lawyer

Jonathon helped me with a tough DUI case where an accident was involved. He was always there to take my calls and answer all my questions, and help give me any insight I need. He also worked with me on the price and was very honest and transparent throughout the whole process. He got me the best case... scenario outcome for my charge. He was very informative and helped ease my concerns and worries since this was my first offense. I’m grateful for Mr Kaye, and would recommend him to anyone since he has been practicing for so long, and really a pleasure to work with.

Out of State

I was visiting New York attending a funeral, later that day I was heading back to my hotel and was pulled over. The officer want me to take a breathalyzer and a sobriety test, which I refused to take. I was arrested for DUI / DWI. I contact Mr. Kaye for representation. The issue that I was facing was... that I reside in Texas, Mr. Kaye understood my situation, took my case and told me exactly how my case was going to go. He had the misdemeanor reduced to just a traffic violation. He kept me informed throughout the process, which took some time to resolve, and there were no hidden fees for his service. I will highly recommend Mr. Kaye to anyone needing representation. As a reminder, these proceedings do take time, have patience, it will work out for you.

Power Positive Attorney

Jonathan Kaye is the most incredible person I’ve met in my life. He’s angelic and has the gift to calm you down during a confusing time in your life. I know the feeling of being hurt the emotional rollercoaster and the uncertainty you feel not feeling secure of what’s going to happen. Located in Ba...yside, upon entering his office you get flashbacks of the car accident and feel shattered and traumatized .When Mr Jonathan Kaye greets you with a smile and welcomes you into his office, you start to feel safe for the first time in awhile. His first word to you is “don’t worry.” I won’t let anything happen, trust me. I immediately felt some hope. He showed me all of his achievements as a Criminal Attorney, Defense Attorney and Prosecutor which is astounding when you look. Within minutes his confidence, honesty and clarity brought me out of the confusion and I immediately felt safe and I put my life in his hands. His eyes evoke truth and you feel his determination to make you feel and see the light at the end of the tunnel. He takes care of everything and phone call away. When he says he’ll call- HE DOES. Your never left waiting and says call anytime you need reassurance of your case. Every day you do wait for finality which is hard of course, but knowing Mr Jonathan Kaye is on my side working hard for an affective positive outcome, calms you down. If your caught in a car accident and there is confusion between paperwork and the police report of what happened during the unfortunate car accident most definitely you affective help. Seriously! I believe you most call Mr Jonathan Kaye. He is “Simply the Best.” Furthermore, he’s affordable which is a major concern as you navigate through all the changes that are happening each day mounting on your desk. Believe me, you will have the confidence again, I did! Thanks to Jonathan Kaye.
