I contacted Mr Seldak, for a consultation. He was willing to make an appointment for consultation within days notice. I am extremely satisfied with how he made me comfortable over the phone when I explained my fiancé’s case.
Mr. Sedlak is an outstanding attorney who was able to negotiate an extraordinary plea in a very difficult case. He is knowledgeable, genuine, trustworthy and forthcoming. He never left me in the dark about my case and knew all the right avenues to take. I can’t thank him enough!!!

Knows the people & system extremely well
I hired Andre because he was willing to try to negotiate a tough DWI case down, and because he was very kind to me when I was upset and freaked out. That was the best decision I made. Andre knows the people to utilize and how to build a case -- just do what he suggests. My tricky case ended with a plea down to a DWAI. I couldn't be happier with the outcome, or with choosing Andre to represent me.

Huge help!!
I contacted Mr. Sedlak the day before my original court date was scheduled and although he couldn't make it with me the following day, after hiring him as my lawyer, he took care of everything with the court including moving the date to a day that better fit both our schedules. Throughout the process he kept me up to date on everything I needed to bring and know, and answered all of my questions about my charges and was always available, informative, and helpful. On the day of court I was done in 35 minutes with an ACD and only having to pay 1 of 2 tickets I got as well. Would absolutely recommend to any family or friends in the future!

Out of State Traffic Ticket
I am an out of state driver that received a ticket in Columbia County. I searched for a lawyer to help online and Andre returned my call promptly. He explained the process, answered my questions, and kept me informed the entire way. I did not have to appear in court, and Andre resolved the case just as he said he would try to do. I would recommend highly for similar situations.

Great attorney and friend
I've known Mr Sedlak over thirty years. He continues to be professional, kind, compassionate, and dedicated to his profession. When I contacted him to represent my son, He did not hesitate. He gave us an immediate consultation, and made us feel much better about the impending case. He came to court, several times on my son's behalf, until the case was resolved with favorable results. I cannot say enough about Mr. Sedlak. Job well done!

Amazing lawyer that really fights for you!
Mr sedlack saved me the prosecutors of my car were wanting to give me probation mostly because of my past not really this offense so Mr sedlack wouldn't allow me to be judged prematurely and fought for me for until my case was settled with fines and minor court stipulations. He is also a very nice guy personally and easy to speak to. I would recommend him to anyone.

Traffic Ticket
Hire Andre Sedlak for a traffic ticket I received in September 2015. Went to his office for consultation. Andre was very polite, respectful & professional. I hired him on the spot. I am handicap and he represented me and I never had to appear anywhere. He did a excellent job and was very helpful, respectful, & courtesy to me and family. Hope I do not have too but I would hire Andre Sedlak again in a heart beat . Excellent Attorney and Service,

The BEST, Hands Down
I don't usually write reviews but I have to say: this guy SAVED MY BACON. He brought my 800 dollar speeding ticket I got on the Taconic to 175, even with a town that is so strict with speeding. Andre is so personable and really made me feel like he cared. He was happy to hear all of my questions, and was always quick to answer. Seriously, if you wanna hire a lawyer that can kick some ass, look no further than Andre. He really is the best out there.

Review of Andre Sedlak
Andre helped me very much in representing me. He was very thorough, responsive, and successful in helping me with my situation. I recommend him to anyone who needs a good lawyer.

extraordinary service!
I am grateful for Mr. Sedlak's commitment to my case. He is an absolute professional who made me feel at ease about my case. He also made it possible for me to stay at work in CT while he appeared in court for me in New York, the firm made this process as easy and stress free as possible! My charge of a misdemeanor was dropped to an unlawful possession, and my many many traffic violations (speeding, window tints, brake light out) were all reduced to a simple parking violation, with at least 4 speeding tickets from the past on my NY driving records. I am very pleased with the results of my case and could not have asked for a better outcome and representation. The cost of his represntation was also extremely fair and worth every penny, he definitely saved me a lot of money on tickets and charges. I applaud Mr. Sedlak and associates, thank them for their efforts on my behalf, and HIGHLY recommend him to anyone in need of representation in or around Poughkeepsie. :)

My friend when I needed one
Andre Sedlak was an amazing lawyer. I'm not just saying that either. When I got into trouble he calmed me down fast because he talked me through every step. He has helped me since day one and each day he helped to keep me on track with the legal processes. And if it wasn't something I needed to do then Andre always kept me informed on the things that he was doing and how everything was panning out. He will always try and help you so that the law is always on your side. I know this because he worked hard on my cases and each time I knew I could count on him no questions asked. He's the kind of lawyer you want to have defending you he's the kind of lawyer you want on your side and that's why for me Andre is the best choice every time.

Awesome
Andre helped me with my first legal issue. I'm from MD and was pulled over for DWI in Hyde Park, NY. I was un sure of what to expect. when i contacted Andre he quickly went over the options of what i should do. Andre was quick in setting up a meeting the next day. Overall i don't have anything negative to say about my experience. Andre would contact me with new information regarding my case about once a week. He was very helpful and accessible whenever i needed him. Andre was very quick in all of his replies to my emails and phone calls.

Great service handling my speeding ticket
Just wanted to say that I was very impressed by the level of service provided by Mr. Sedlak, in the handling of my speeding ticket. He was very helpful in answering my questions on how a ticket in NY would be handled, as I'm a resident of NJ and had no prior experience with the system there. He also explained the potential outcomes with as much honesty as possible, thereby tempering my expectations. In the end, he was able to get my ticket down to a non-moving violation, which was exactly what i was hoping for. Throughout, he was readily available for any questions I had.
Will certainly be seeking his services in the future, if required.

Mr Sedlak did an outstanding job of resolving a minor DMV issue that should have been handled by another firm's lawyer. He always responded right away either by phone or email and was very confident which gave me the client a good at ease feeling that all was gonna be resolved the right way now. I would definitely use Mr Sedlak's services again if needed!

Great Service
I had to deal with a minor highway incident, and Mr. Sedlak did an excellent job of helping me throughout the case. As soon as I showed up he informed me that the case was dismissed, and that I would not even have to present myself to the court. I would definitely recommend his staff and services again.
