I found Michael on Avvo for my brother after searching for a criminal defense lawyer. Best decision ever! Michael was extremely professional and understanding of a delicate situation with a young person. After emailing Michael for an initial consultation I was called back within minutes, directly fro...m him, not a secretary. After just a mere phone conversation I knew he would be the one to preside over our case. He was a great listener and was thorough at explaining the details that most lawyers would leave out. He spent time tending to our human need of worry, but also practicing diligence with the case matters.

Michael was able to handle everything on a ticket that I received while in the borough of Queens. Situation was bad because the officer who administered the ticket was a difficult individual. However, Michael was able to handle the situation by speaking on my behalf for justice and defense. He con...tacted the ticket system constantly and gave me updates as needed to advise me of the situation. He was attentive and willing to do the work to take care of me, his client. Overall, the ticket was dismissed. If you're looking for someone to handle issues on your behalf and want someone you can trust, contact Michael Arbeit.

The first thing Michael did was to assure me that he would do what was needed to make sure that my case was handled fairly and that I would receive fair treatment. Michael was very caring from the get go. He took the time needed to explain what was happening and what I needed to do. He explained ...things in a way that was easy for me to understand and when I didn't understand something, I felt very comfortable asking him to explain it better. Although my case was fairly common, Michael realized that it was not common for me. He explained that it would take time and he kept me updated in all aspects of things. Michael has shown that he has a thorough knowledge of the NYS legal system and is extremely reliable and trustworthy. I very much appreciate that he spoke to me at all times like a person, and not like a case number. He also made sure to contact me around my schedule, and respected my wishes to be discreet.

Mike has been working with my family for years. He was able to get a Nassau County speeding ticket reduced to just a parking violation with no points on my record. He was honest and said he may be able to get the point reduced but not totally dropped but luckily he was able to receive the best case s...cenario, no points and just a fine.
