Amazing lawyer

Frank was the greatest lawyer I’ve ever used. He handled my case quickly and in the most cost effective manner I have ever seen a lawyer handle a case! Frank also made me feel that he truly cared about the outcome of my case I have and will continue to recommend Frank to anybody who needs help when ...it comes to traffic or criminal law!

Gran abogado! He genuinely cares about his clients!

Utilicé la oficina legal de Frank Desousa para obtener ayuda con el ticket de mi teléfono celular y él pudo desestimarla por completo sin puntos ni multas. Él es un abogado con mucha experiencia. Su personal y Manny fueron eficientes y muy profesionales. Me hicieron sentir cómoda y también hablan esp...añol. Lo usaré de ahora en adelante.

Worst lawyer I have hired

I hired Frank for a spending ticket that I received about a year ago. I didn't expect to win the case because in NYC it's very difficult to win a speeding case. I did however want him to delay the case as long as possible. Lawyers are allowed to delay three times and Frank didn't do that. He went onc...e and over charged me as if he want three times. Stay away this is a terrible lawyer

Excellent Attorney/ Abogado excelente !

Mr. Frank DeSousa has been helping me, Family and Friends for the past 10 years. He is the go to guy when in need of assistance with traffic relate matters. He is a excellent Attorney but must of all he is a honest person that you can count on. He has gotten tickets dismissed for me when I thought th...ere no way out of them. All the people that I referred to his office only say good things about his services and as a person. El Sr. Frank DeSousa me ha ayudado a mi, Familia y Amigos por los ultimos 10 años. El es la persona indicada en que se puedo contar cuando se necesita ayuda relacionado con infracciones de traffico. Es un abogado excelente pero sobre todo, una persona honesta en la cual se puede confiar. El me a eliminado tickets cuando pense que no habia manera de salir de ellos. Todas las personas que he referido a su officina solamente tienen cosas buenas & positivas que decir de sus servicios y como persona.
