David J. Kirsch, Esq.: Former NYC DA, Down to earth, courteous, professional, knows every facet of the law & saved my butt!
David J. Kirsch, Esq.: Down to earth, courteous, professional, yet knows every facet of every law (i.e. very knowledgeable in criminal law). He's honest & "tells you like it is." No BS, no "sugar coating."
He’s accessible or will call you back likely within the hour or less (and I was a panicky wreck!).
He's a former NYC DA (8ish yrs I believe) now at a top, full service law firm.
FYI: former DA = he's worked side by side and knows (& friendly) w/ virtually everyone who's gunning for you!
To be honest, I didn't hire Mr. Kirsch, luckily, my father did, if he hadn't, I surely would have.
Me: I was out late, stupid & possibly had some substances not approved by the NY DMV, NYPD, etc in my system (when behind the wheel). It also wasn't the 1st time.
All this happened in Brooklyn by the way on my way back from a night of “partying.”
I followed ALL of David Kirsch's instructions, one was to enter a "rehab" program immediately (which found after 2 weeks I had no addiction issues & told me I don't have to come). I went anyway and also passed everyone of their random drug tests. Which likely helped later down when I finally had to appear in court, ~6-7mo (yes, everything is a long, drawn out process)..
Part 1: a DMV Judicial hearing to take my license away for a year. I had a 1%, chance, possibly less of loosening my license. David Kirsch, Esq. WON.
Part 2: I still had Brooklyn/NY-State after me (aka the Brooklyn DA), Mr Kirsch managed to get me a "deal"/Plea-Bargain (a highly unusual one I've been told) where I just urinated (tested for drugs & alcohol) weekly for 6-9mo, continue to talk to my private "shrink" (who was to stay in touch with court system) & pay a few hundred $ in fines/fees.
Because I never "screwed up", never missed appointments, was in a “rehab program” prior to the case (who once again found me “clean”), I was "released" after 6mo from a 6-9mo plea-bargain. Not to mention “all of this” will appear as a traffic violation (I was facing a FELONY due to A. this being my 2nd time & B. my license was suspended at the time for being lazy and not paying a minor traffic ticket).
I wouldn't hesitate or think twice about hiring David J Kirsch, Esq., again for any legal matter.
I will however think twice before getting behind the wheel of a car with anything other than diet coke in my system.
Maybe I just got lucky? But having a hell of a good attorney doesn't hurt. FYI: No, I'm not related to Mr. Kirsch, I'm just/was a client. Oh, if it matters, his rates are "in-line" with all other attorneys/firms in NYC.
It's cost me plenty of time, embarrassment, dignity, stress, etc. But, you can't put a price on excellence.
I hope I never have to, but if I had to hire an attorney again, without a doubt, David Kirsch would be my "1 call" I get in jail.
Words can't describe my thanks & praise for Mr. David J. Kirsch's time, effort, dedication & saving me from potential jail time & a year without a license.
