Tenacious attorney

The saying "You get what you pay for" is definitely true when it comes to attorneys. After being assigned a Legal Aid attorney whose case load was so bloated he could never dedicate any time to actually building a personalized defense, I retained Russ Kofman. He and his team stuck with this case for ...over a year and well over a dozen adjournments during the retainer period, always ensuring that an associate from his office was in court for appearances. When the trial was finally scheduled, Russ clearly invested time and thought into building of a solid defense, one that resulted in not guilty verdicts on all three charges. Don't expect him to be in close or regular communication during the period after the consultation and before the trial, but trust that he knows the law and will construct and argue the best defense for your case. He is tenacious and committed and effective.

A real advocate!

My case was a class c felony and he got it down to a misdemeanor. Well , yes he probably could've done more. But unfortunately in my case there was alot of fingers pointing at me. And really this lawyer is tuff. You go there you speak to the big lawyer boss man but he has a bunch of other lawyers loo...king into the case , calling you ,calling the a.d.a. , they email you, they text you , call you, gather proof, it's like they are your friends. Then they really get the job done. And that's what you need man. You dont need that beautiful dream talk with no results . These guys are your get outa jail free card. In reality they aren't free , they are pretty expensive , but are they expensive if the job gets done right the first time ? Nope! In reality they are pretty cheap..... They do the job and not even smile back. Who cares, they are completely professional. They are here for business . Their business is getting you out of trouble ..and they sure do the job right . The best. On the real, no joke. If your in trouble, I highly recommend these guys. Your going to get out of trouble.. Guaranteed man. Well you know what i mean .. theres nothing guarantees but with these bad boys your going home bro.... Give these guys a shot. If you really serious of getting this legal situation taken care of. Go to their office , talk to Russ koffman, see for yourself.. you won't regret it. I don't know what have would've been happened if I didn't hit them, I can't afford a felony because of my job. They got me with a misdemeanor only when the a.d.a. wanted 2.5yrs. and more up north. These guys saved my job, carreer and life. For that result .. what they charge was nothing. They are literally heroes with lawyer badges man. Wish you guys luck just like I had ... Well in reality it wasn't luck , just lucky to hire the right law firm. They took care of everything ., Totally everything .. super cool. Two thumbs up,.

Super lawyer

I was charged with a felony and was even facing more potential charges. Russ and his team rushed to make sure i would be released without bail and got me an amazing offer. Fight aggressively as they did and with the knowledge they had i was able to continue my life normally again.

The Lawyer you can always rely on

When I was wrongly arrested, my friend referred me to Russ Kofman. His law firm handled everything for me in a very smooth manner. In about 5 months, they called me and told me that they got me a great settlement from the city on my wrongful arrest case. I got $27,500 after spending about 16 hours ...in jail. I couldn’t believe it. It was a horrible experience, but Russ really helped me out here. I would recommend this firm and Russ to anyone looking for a lawyer.

How to feel protected during a scary time

Imagine... having your hands forced behind your back. Handcuffs forced on your wrists. Pushed into the back of a police cruised. No rights read. No idea of whats going to happen. The freedoms that you take for granted stripped away from you in an instant. Sitting in a dungeon of a holding fac...ility. Seperated from the outside world, I had to make a phone call and I had to do it quick. I called my best friend and told him to get in touch with Russ Kofman quickly. The charges were bogus...but I knew that the judge wouldnt take my word for it. The cops said I was looking at a felony weapons possession. Real prison time. Russ sprung into action. He knew that each hour I spent in that holding facility was a torturous 60 minutes of uncertainty and fear. Russ knew the ins and outs of the court system better than anyone I had ever met. He was there first thing in the morning and told me not to worry. I was first to see the judge (while others waited indefinitely for a public defendant that couldnt care less). "All charges dismissed. Youre free to go" I wish we lived in a world where the facts spoke for themselves but we don't. You need a trustworthy attorney to communicate those facts for you. A competent lawyer makes the difference between going home to see your family or spending time in a cage. Time in your life that youll never get back. It was an easy decision for me. There is nothing that is worth my money more than my own freedom.
