Professional, Knowledgeable, Dependable, Honest, and Hard-Working...

...These are the words I use to describe Mr. Ralph Habib. If you are ever charged with a DWI, or any other criminal charge for that matter, Ralph is lawyer you NEED to have representing you! I was charged with a serious DWI offense, at a very bad time in Central New York considering other high pr...ofile DWI cases being publicly followed/broadcast. A friend of mine recommended Ralph, and I knew from the first time we spoke that Ralph was the lawyer I wanted fighting for me and representing me in Court. Even though the cards were stacked against us, Ralph listened to my side of the story and understood that I am not a criminal, but that I had made a poor decision. He assured me from the very beginning that he would work tirelessly to get the best possible outcome, and he answered all of my questions along the way. Due to his past work as an Assistant DA in Onondaga County, Ralph has the knowledge and connections needed in this type of case. This charge could have easily ruined me as a person, as well as the career I have worked so hard towards, but because Ralph believed in me and fought for me (at all hours of the day/night I might add), he was able to get my charges greatly reduced. I was able to keep my driver's license, which essentially saved my career and my future. I am forever grateful to Ralph for all he has done for me! I will never be able to fully repay him for the effort he put into this case. And to anyone reading this that is in a similar situation to the one I was in, please know I hope your case gets a favorable outcome as well...if you have Ralph Habib standing next to you, there is no doubt in my mind you will be fine!

Excellent Job, Thank You So Much!

Ralph did a wonderful job handling my case. He walked me through the process of my speeding ticket and what he could do for me. He was very kind and easy to contact. Ralph handled the case wonderfully over the phone. Thank you so much!

So helpful and easy to work with

Mr. Habib and his staff helped me with a traffic matter and achieved an outcome that I was very happy with! I am from outside of the area and Mr. Habib explained the matter to me and told me about my various options, advising me on what I should do to handle the situation. I didn't even have to meet ...with him in person or attend any hearings, etc., it was all taken care of by Mr. Habib and his staff. I recommend Mr. Habib highly to anyone facing legal issues in NY. I am a very satisfied customer!

Great lawyer, great individual

Ralph persevered relentlessly through my difficult DWI case to bring it to a very favorable outcome. The case spanned over 7 months with multiple court dates and he was with me all the way through. He is extremely approachable and responsive as well as very knowledgeable and I would recommend him to ...anyone out there.
