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.

Traffic Tickets

Michael was terrific from the start. I had several traffic violations and Michael kept me informed every step of the way. Both tickets were dismissed and I’m very glad I chose Michael to represent me. I would definitely recommend him. Thanks again, Michael.
