Amazing Lawyer
Attorney Michael is awesome. He is very helpful. When I met Attorney Michael, I could feel he would help me, and he did. He checked all the documents and was willing to help me and he informed me he was available 24/7 - and he was. Whenever I contacted him, anytime, any day, weekdays (even after typical work hours), even on weekends, he would respond. He would advise me on what I needed to do. After I received notification for a scheduled court date, I received another notification for jury duty for the same day. As I obviously could not be at 2 places at the same time, Attorney Michael went there to courthouse without me to help me deal with my situation; and get the case adjourned to another date. He took care of my case and even reminded me about the scheduled court date/time the day before. When the actual day came, there was another guy he was helping too, and Attorney Michael was very helpful to both of us. I didn't know that guy, but you could tell this is how Attorney Michael does to people he works with. He really worked out my case; advised me on what to do - from start to end of the case. As you know, having a case is very uncomfortable to anyone, but Attorney Michael would take time to explain to make sure that I understand my case, and for me to know what best option for me is. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal help/advice. He is also very friendly. Thanks Attorney Michael for all your help/guidance. If you need help with criminal defense and traffic violation related matters, he can help you. He simply knows what to do, and what is best for you.

Awesome Service
Mike was amazing. I had 7 tickets and my license was suspended at the time. Mike guided me through fixing my license and getting most of my tickets dismissed or knocked down for a GREAT price! Hopefully I won’t need these kind of services again, but if I do, I’ll be sure to call him first! He’s a cool dude but yet also very professional.

No nonsense lawyer
Mr Arbeit knew exactly what the offense was right off the bat. Did his due diligence and a favorable outcome for me. I would recommend him for his professionalism and he spoke in a manner that I understood instead of jargons. He is awesome.

Great!
Thanks to the Law Office of Michael Arbeit for the great work he did in my son case, who had a car accident and end up in the hospital.
From the beginning he let me to know what he could do for my son case.
His professionalism , reliability and exceptional communication skills made the entire legal process easy and in the end the case was dismissed.
He's a very nice attorney and very affordable .
Thanks for everything Michael.
Highly recommended.

Excellent Juvenille Advice
My son was in big trouble for graffiti on a school building. I messaged Mr. Arbeit in the evening through his website. I thought I would be hearing back the following day. To my surprise, I received a phone call 30 minutes later. All my concerns and questions were answered. Mr. Arbeit never took one dime from me. He provided me with his cell phone number and reassured me that I could contact him whenever I needed. He walked me through my son's arrest and what to expect. He walked me through family court and probation. Every step of the way he advised me on the procedures and what to do. He answered every text within 15 minutes. In addition to the arrest, court, and probation, he assisted me with the school suspension. Mr. Arbeit was there for me during this difficult time while my son made a terrible mistake and I never paid a dime because we avoided seeing a judge and we avoided a superintendent hearing. I could not write enough good things about this attorney.

Honest, Professional, Compassionate and AWESOME Lawyer
When I found myself in some trouble and in need of representation, I didn't know where to turn. I feel so fortunate that I found Mike.
He met with me same-day to discuss my case, took the time to advise me on what to expect and gave me best case/worst case outcomes. After talking with him for just 5 minutes, anyone could tell how much experience he has working in the Nassau Criminal Court System. Starting at the very first meeting, he really cared about my well-being, not just the case, and he followed that through the entire process.
Mike sent regular communications and reminders about court dates, kept me in-the-loop on all developments with the prosecutor & judge, and always (personally) responded quickly to texts/calls. I always felt in good hands with him and he fought hard for me to get the best possible outcome.
Mike was able to get my case dismissed, and prevented one horrible night from haunting the rest of my life. The best decision I made was choosing him, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Give him a call, you won't regret it.

Wonderful experience
Absolutely stellar experience with Michael helping advise on a matter. We were going to retain him but the case was dismissed due to extenuating factors.
He is a straight shooter, gives you only the facts, which we appreciated.
Michael makes sure you understand what the law and the procedure is. He's sharp and knows his stuff.
He was INCREDIBLE about communicating with us, quick to return texts & calls. That's a rarity these days and it was very much
appreciated during a stressful time. If you need counsel, don't hesitate to call Michael. He’s a gem.
