Compassionate, Professional and ALWAYS available

I hired Mr. Puig over a year ago to help me with my DWI, speeding and reckless driving charge. Due to the pandemic my court case kept getting postponed. He kept in constant contact with throughout. I was facing a substantial fine, loss of license, possible jail time and 3 years probation. Mr Puig ...got all the charges but the DWI removed. I was the one who took the plea. He was willing to keep fighting. He also was able to reduce my fines to the minimum, get my probation removed and keep me from my worst fear - going to jail. I would HIGHLY recommend

Very efficient attorney

Mr. Puig helped me out with a speeding ticket. I was a driver with just a foreign license and a NY permit. The pandemic situation was so worse that the only way I could communicate with Mr. Puig was by emails and phone. Mr. Puig was very patient. He listened to all my problems, understood the complex... situations, and got the case reduced to a parking ticket. He had no way to talk to the prosecutor or the judge directly, as the court was closed. Despite that, he arranged to meet with the prosecutor in a virtual meeting, presented my case, and efficiently got me a reduction, both in points and fine. I would happily recommend Mr. Puig as an eminent lawyer.

Excellent experience

Mr. Puig was excellent resolving a speeding ticket that i got in upstate NY. This was the first speeding ticket i had ever gotten in my 25 years of driving so i was very nervous. Mr. Puig appeared with me in court, presented my case and had the speeding charge and the fine reduced. It was a pleasu...re working with Mr. Puig. He was very professional, thorough explaining everything and friendly.

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.
