INCREDIBLE, EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE ATTORNEY!!!

I am beyond thrilled I chose Shawn to handle my criminal case and now feel like a new person. I didn't have any criminal lawyer recommendations to go off of so I found him by searching online and chose him because his website explained what I was facing in detail and provided the likely outcome, unli...ke the other attorney websites I came across that just try to scare you into hiring an attorney. He is available 24/7 and took the time to explain everything in detail during my first phone call to his office before even meeting for a consultation or retaining him as my attorney. He assured me that everything would be alright and he knew exactly what the entire process would be as well as the outcome. I was a nervous wreck about this case but, from the start, Shawn gave me peace of mind, which was priceless to me. His fee was extremely reasonable. I did speak with others in the same situation who were paying up to double his fee and getting much less service from their attorneys. I had a lot going on in my personal life and Shawn was extremely sympathetic and went above and beyond to get my case taken care of right away, prior to my initial court date. The court told me that could not be done yet Shawn still made it happen. He is such an honest, compassionate and knowledgeable attorney, which is not easy to find. I am truly so grateful I chose him to handle my case. I really can't say enough. He is incredible!!!!!

I hired Mr. Kassman without knowing him other than being close the Suffolk County Court, as it turns out he was the best find ever, my criminal case was dismissed and my life was a new one, then I chose him to represent me in my divorce preceeding and he came through again, don't be surprised about h...is appearance, hell he is more effective in a sitting position than the others standing, his wit and charm as well as his knowledge of the law makes a perfect combination to fight anyone's battle, rest a sure, he will win for you no matter what the case maybe, thanks Shawn, you a 10 in my book and I recommend you to anyone that needs a trustworthy Lawyer.

outstanding Lawyer

I am a person that found Shawn on the internet as well as a few others, I decieded to go with Shawn because he was very straight forward with me and his fee was not that bad and I must say he earned every dime that he was paid , I had a criminal case that was over 6 years old and after all of his wor...k my case was dismissed, Bravo. I have come to depend on him, for all of my future needs even though they will not be anything criminal. he will be my family attorney. I recommend to anyone that reads this to employ him and I promise you he will not let you down.

Trustworthy

I have used Mr.Kassman for two of my criminal cases. He is very experienced and I felt comfortable using him as my attorney. He was patient in our meeting, I understand he may be very busy and you have to call him to get an update, but he always returned his phone calls promptly. I was very happy wit...h my experience and I would use him again for legal transactions. Most importantly he was very fair and reasonable in his pricing.
