Mr Arbeit Saved me BIG TIME. My friends, family and I am extremely grateful for the care and time Mike put into my case looking for the best possible outcome for me , and even though I'm sure I wasn't his easiest client and I know I did complicate things along the way his unfettered diligence and foc...us made me feel as if I was his only client when I know he had many many others. practically every call I had with his began with high anxiety which he constantly and consistently was able to relax and put me at ease I would trust his work and opinion in the future for anyone whom I care about.

I was facing very serious charges In Nassau County, New York. Mr. Arbeit was very honest from the first time my wife and I met with him and did not guarantee any results that I had previously heard from two other attorneys I met with before hiring him. He is a tenacious fighter and my family and I ...are forever grateful for all he did in representing me. If anyone I know ever needs a criminal lawyer in the future, Mr. Arbeit's number is on my speed dial.

Michael represented me on a Misdemeanor Assault Charge in Queens County. I was bullied by a co-worker and defended myself. As Michael told me repeatedly during the case, unfortunately the police have a saying that the "loser of the fight goes to the hospital and the winner of the fight gets arreste...d." The District Attorney's Office wanted me to plead guilty to the charge and initially go to jail for 30 days and then they said they would recommend probation to the judge. Michael stood his ground on we were ready to try the matter because it was self defense and I did not want to have a misdemeanor crime conviction on my record. On the day of trial, the assistant district attorney made another offer of a disorderly conduct (violation) and 2 days community service. which I accepted rather than go to trial. Even though we went back to court numerous times, Michael was true to his word and never asked me for any more money than i had paid him. There was an extra trial fee, but he refunded a portion of it since there was no trial although he prepared me in his office the weekend before for hours in case I was going to testify on my behalf and had done a lot of work getting the case ready for trial. I would definitely refer him to anyone in need of a criminal defense lawyer.

Not only did mike come highly recommended from two attorneys I knew but he made time for me the day i called spent two hours with me and made me feel like i had the right man in my corner is available 24/7 to clients no matter what but also was reasonable and didn't try to choke me out for money. we ...went to court today and not only did he under promise and over deliver but still took out time to make a call on my behalf in another matter just because. If you need a criminal defense attorney this is the only person you need to call not only did he perform but made me feel like i was important to him. Thanks again mike you made life a lot a lot a lot stressful for me.
