Polite, Professional,Informative

Mr. Irace was very helpful in going over criminal charges towards another person in incident I was involved in. He was patient with me as i told my story, explanatory of the charges I had questions with , informed me of the next procedures, as well as helpful in giving both sides of the argument wh...ile not persuading to go a certain way. No Opinions just facts. I felt comfortable speaking with him and he really put my mind at ease.

Excellent advice!

I used Mr. Irace's services and sought out advice about my situation. He was extremely knowledgeable and thoroughly explained every possible outcome and the likelihood it would happen, which really put my mind at ease. He made me feel comfortable during the whole session and was so professional, hone...st, and down to earth! I would highly recommend him if you need any advice or need to hire an attorney.

Over all Professional

Carl Irace has acted as legal help for my business and my self for almost a decade. I'm continuously impressed with his knowledge of the law and the inner workings of the local government at large. His connections within the community, police force, D.A.'s office and Government make him an indispensa...ble part of our success.

World Class DWI Defense Attorney

I have known Carl as a member of the legal community for a long time and when I unfortunately had a DWI case, Carl was my first and only call. Carl not only provided a world class legal defense, but also provided me the personalized service that helped me through this tough time. Obviously, no one ...wants to go through the difficult process, subsequent legal hassle, and personal embarrassment of a DWI case, but Carl’s experience and knowledge of the justice system proved invaluable to me and my family. Carl provided me with a well thought-out and executed legal defense and we were able to get the best possible legal result for my case. There were a number of different ways that may case could have gone, and it was a huge relief to get the best possible result. I am not sure another attorney would have gotten the same legal results. Having been an assistant district attorney, Carl was able to effectively manage my case, advise me on every step in the process, and avoid ineffective and costly legal motions and time delays. Carl is also extremely well connected in the legal community and has access throughout the local and national justice systems that allows him to provide the best possible counsel to his clients. I would give Carl my highest recommendation for anyone who has to go through this difficult process.

"I worked closely with Carl for several years at the Bronx District Attorney's office. As a prosecutor, Carl was held to the highest burden of proof in our legal system, and he flourished. Carl's practice and experience as a prosecutor place him in the top echelon of defense attorneys, both in terms of trying cases, and more perhaps more importantly to clients, to reaching the best possible disposition for a given case. Moreover, his appeal to jurors and ability to address exactly what they are thinking is invaluable during trial."

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
