Samuel Breslin

I hired Mr. Breslin to represent me in a relatively straightforward misdemeanor larceny case and could not have been happier with the representation he provided as well as the outcome he procured for me. From the very beginning, he was reliable and quick in responding to my inquiries, and took the ti...me to answer all of my questions in a thorough, kind, and professional way. My case was relatively minor, but I never felt that this affected his level of attention or commitment to my case. His fee structure was transparent and fair (he charges a flat fee for petit larceny cases), and payment was easy through an online system. Pandemic-related restrictions resulted in multiple delays with the courts (outside of anyone's control), but Mr. Breslin kept me informed and helped me navigate the changes in procedure; I always felt that I could count on him to provide the knowledge and support necessary to help me through the process. Additionally, Mr. Breslin demonstrated familiarity and experience with the local court, law enforcement, and prosecutorial professionals, and I gathered that his reputation within the local justice community was of great benefit to my case. Mr. Breslin was ultimately able to secure the best possible outcome for me, and I could not be happier with the way that he handled my case and treated me as a person—always with professionalism and respect. I could not recommend him highly enough and if I were ever in need of future legal representation he would be my first call.

Sam was truly amazing. Unfortunately I was arrested for a second DWI which he was able to get reduced to a another DUAI. I was facing criminal charges and possible jail time. He is very personable, responsive, open minded and honest. I would recommend him to anyone. He is worth way more than he c...harges.

I hired Sam Breslin to help me with a DWI charge. He helped me on the price and made me feel comfortable from the start. He always took the time to answer my questions and I never felt rushed. Sam is creative and hard working which showed in the result of my case. He exceeded my expectations and I gl...adly recommend him to anyone who wants to rest easy knowing your case is in capable hands! Thank you, Sam!

Sam is an excellent attorney. I was in a very bad place and nobody would listen to my side of the story. I was pulled over for absolutely no reason by troopers and consequently arrested. I refused to blow into the breathalyzer because my rights were violated every step of the process. I did not reali...ze that Albany had special laws about this assertion of your statutory right. Sam listened to my story and fought very hard for me. He represented me through the refusal hearing at DMV which we won (very rare) while a different attorney told me to just waive the hearing. I thank God I picked Sam. Sam won my DMV case with his keen ability to understand the questions to ask at the right times at the right hearings. He knew how to get the troopers to hang themselves with their own lies. He also knew how to face an aggressive DA and play their tolling game. Sam was insistent on moving to dismiss when a trooper ignored a judges subpoena to appear after the trooper came up with every excuse. They knew they had lied and Sam knew that the dog ate their homework. His team changed my life with his commitment and knowledge. He was reasonably priced and worked with me when I couldn't cough up thousands like most of the other attorneys try to get you to do. His results must be better. Gratitude is not enough. He is also a very nice guy without being cocky unlike most other attorneys I consulted with. He did everything possible and his method in front of a judge is very well thought out. If your looking for an attorney with excellent courtroom skill and who treats you like you are human, Sam Breslin is that attorney. He even has a calming effect in the face of terrible stress. He also sheds light on the police conduct in front of the judges, which is something that we must do to keep these troopers from getting out of control like they did in my case. Words and gratitude are simply not enough to express how he changed the course of my future. Although the incident ruined a lot of my life (lost my apartment, job, and car), Sam worked for justice and stopped a terrible possibility. Excellent attorney and outstanding result.

I hired Sam for DWI and a few tickets from unrelated incidents. Sam told me the court fine for my DWI would be $500 dollars, and it ended up being $700 dollars. I didn't agree with the result and effort he put into another violation ticket I got, but it did get ACOD and is now cleared the time limit ...resulting in it being dropped. While going to court for that ticket, I was unaware of the court date. He emailed me the day of court, did not call, 6 hours before I was suppose to be there. After court he called, since I had missed it, left a message so the next day when I called him back he told me I was wrong for not checking my emails multiple times a day. Any other lawyer I have ever had would call not email me the day of. The third ticket for a no front license plate and no seatbelt he agreed to resolve never got resolved. After not hearing from him in months I figured it had been resolved, instead I got a letter of suspension in the mail. Which led to me having to go to court myself and resolve the issue. Previously he wanted a picture of my front plate on my car, which I did. Also a copy of my driver abstract, which I made clear to him I couldn't obtain because I did not have my license and needed to ID number off of it. When I first met with Sam he agreed to take care of all three incidents for the amount we had agreed on. It was the amount he told me was his flat rate for DWI, and we had agreed on the amount before ever starting. After leaving him a google review he emailed me claiming everything I said was false and demanded I take it down. Which has now led to me leaving a review here. In his email he claims I went over my time limit and that he just didn't charge me for going over. He also states he charges me less then he normally would for a first time DWI defense. I think it is unreal a year later for him to email claiming all the money he saved me that he should have charged me for. Especially when we agreed on the price and what he could accomplish in that time, before ever starting. He also states he did not need to call me the day of court, that a month before the court would have sent me a paper letting me know the date. Though I do not recall getting a letter from the court. And that the email the day of was just a courtesy. The not calling is just to a test to how he does not always go above and beyond as he claims. I'm very upset with the email he sent me off the basis that he was unhappy I left a bad review. Emailing me demanding I take my review down as to censor me, as a customer, who was not fully satisfied with the service provided
