My DUI Case

Kenneth Puig, Esq. took my case and fought for me almost a year to get me the best deal. Even though the prosecutor should have dismissed the case on too many inconsistencies Kenneth held out for the best possible deal i could get and always had my best interests in mind. He explained everything in ...detail and writing and followed up via email. Sometimes I would get confused and want to hold off but once he explained to me I felt better about my case. Kenneth was very patient and always had me in mind as his client no matter how many times we went back to court. Mr. Puig is an A+++ attorney in my book and I will refer send him referrals.

Ken Puig, Esq - job well done!

Mr. Puig is knowledgeable about the Middletown/Wallkill Town Court system and provided good advice. He appeared in court on my behalf for a reasonable fee and was able to get my traffic ticket reduced to a parking ticket, with no points. Job well done! Thank you, Mr. Puig!

Awesome Lawyer

I met Mr. Puig after I was in a car accident where I have sustained a lower back injury and neck injury. From the first day, he was honest about my case and indicated that there would be a fee should the case be lost. He was very accommodating when we had to meet by allowing me to come on a Saturday ...so I would not lose time from work. Mr. Puig was very nice and did speak above me or below me. Another word, he spoke to me so that I could understand the legal terminology. He always asked me about my family and had a genuine interest in knowing about my health. He prepared me for my dispositions and I felt very confident when speaking to the other lawyers. Mr. Puig assisted with any paperwork I received from my car insurance company as well as answering any questions I had about the paperwork from the insurance company. Finally, I loved his personality because he was approachable and friendly. He was a hard-working psychologist who defended me and I received compensation for my injuries. I would hire him again without thinking about it should I need a lawyer.

Highly Recommend!

I called Mr.Puig after my first court appearance and he was so helpful from the start. His rates are affordable and not outrageous! I blew a .17 and was charged with a DWI. For those of you who don’t know that is right below felony DWI which is .18+ Although this was my first offense I was facing 3 ...years probation due to a high reading of alcohol. If I was charged with a DWI I would of had maximum fines and had to get an interlock installed in my car and complete the probation. But thanks to Mr.Puig he got my DWI down to a DWAI and I received no probation, no interlock, minimum fines, and only 90 days with a conditional license. He’s very professional and makes you feel like your his only client with all his efforts put towards you. Thanks so much for all your help I’m very mich appreciative for it!!

satisfied client

Attorney Kenneth Puigis services where outstanding. i was charged for dwi, the front weel on my car had fallen off. i called 911 for assistance. i was not drinking. i had 2 drinks 6 hours earlier at lunch time ( it was my birthday) i was not in the car when police arrived. police report was not accu...rate. i was very scared that there may be jail time involved. i contacted mr puigi after 1 st court appearance and met with him asap. he treated me as if i was his only case, upon our 1st meeting he explained the situation in la mans terms and consulted me on all the terms of the law. he put me in extreme relief. upon court appearance he got the case dropped to a lower charge with no criminal record. i strongly suggest that anyone who has any type of alcohol charge use mr puig'i. after the court appearance he followed up with guidance on getting my license back. his rates are like half the amount of other attorneys and his professionalism is awesome. i highly recommend his services .
