Best Lawyer!

Before I had selected my attorney I did a lot of research. Mr. Lafaurie has great reviews and he lives up to all of them. He spent a lot of time discussing my case with me and all the avenues/obstacles that we would encounter. Many other attorneys I contacted were more interested in discussing the...ir fees. He has a great deal of knowledge. He wan't cheap, but was worth it. I am a sound believer that you get what you pay for. I am very happy with my outcome and would always recommend him. Thank you again.

Great Lawyer

I just concluded my case with Mr. Lafaurie. It was a long battle, but I'm glad that I had him as my attorney the entire time. In my business as a broker, I know the ins and outs, the fundamentals as well as the advance subject matter or techniques in my business. However, when I was arrested by my ...company (which will remain nameless) for filing fraudulent client vouchers, I had no understanding of the criminal justice system. It felt like people, police and even judges were accusing me of things based on unreliable BS. Once I scheduled a meeting with a half dozen criminal defense lawyers, I quickly learned the Mr. Lafaurie was the best in his field. He was the only attorney that advised me to testify in the grand jury and he spent 2 days preparing me and advising me on a subject matter that was foreign to me. When you find yourself in my situation, you will 100% need someone like this attorney. He made it look easy. Great job, I owe you much more than what I paid you for.

Even as my competition, this is a five star attorney.

I have known Mr. LaFaruie for over 15 years. I can speak to his work ethic when I was on the opposite side of Mr. LaFaurie as a prosecutor, he was diligent, hard working and a pit bull in getting his clients the result they were looking for. As a colleague, he is an attorney I would be proud to wor...k with. I can say to any client who engages Mr. Lafaurie's services, you will be pleased and he will be giving you one of the best shots at getting the results you are looking for.

Speaking about pit bulls, Attorney Gilbert Parris was one of the few Assistant District Attorneys that I intentionally avoided due to his deliberate skilled Trial success. Every client now has him protecting their interest! I get great satisfaction receiving a stellar review from this level Top-Tier Criminal Defense Lawyer.

Brooklyns Best Lawyer

My wife dedicated 11 years to Chase Bank and because an audit showed money missing the Bank manager decided to target my wife to save herself and her employment. instead of telling the truth about my wife the mgr. told the investigators a lie about something my wife told her in confidence. An arres...t was made for a C felony. My family had no choice but to take out a loan to hire Mr. LaFaurie, I thank God that we did that!!! Now we are sueing Chase, the bank manager and the NYPD for all they have put us through. The case against her was manufactured! Mr. LaFaurie took the time but more importantly he understood how they think and he saw the gapping problems with there NONSENSE. Mr. Lafaurie is rather cold, rather no nonsense, rather direct BUT i would prefer him over someone who sugarcoats a situation just to get paid. My only concern was that he was expensive but he told us the whole price up front--no surprises. WE WILL ALWAYS USE HIM IN THE FUTURE.

The Public is not aware that Banks like many businesses try and pin all of their loses on the individual "holding the hot potato'. That means that if you in fact stole $100 from an establishment it is possible that they will claim that over a year span you were responsible for stealing $75,000.00. I have witness this same phenomenon on several cases. This is a way to get credit from the insurance company and claim that the problem has been addressed. In the above case I was able to demonstrate to the DA that the bank was using this unethical practice. Thank you for taking the time out and doing the review.

Hugh Win!

Can't explain sitting on trial with everything looking bad against you. If it was not for Barry Kellum giving me mr lafauries cell phone I know I would be up state doing a 10 bid. It's funny that they had all of the evidence and I had a lawyer that I never heard of but damn wTching him on trial is... sic, he loves knowing that he's better then them. I owe God---Barry an Mr Lafaurie my freedom.

I tell clients all of the time that the Judicial System often does not care about innocence or guilt...it pursues a verdict in their favor. This is unfortunate but many times the reality. That having been said, facing a jury is a daunting task that may have to be dealt with! I appreciate the review because the consumer/client sometimes hires a lawyer who simply DOES NOT have the experience and skills to heighten the chances of victory.
