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!

The Ultimate Lawyer

Why do we need lawyers? Somewhere we made a bad choice! I got my self in a bad situation facing felonies charges and prison time. I knew the only person to call was Ralph Habib. Ralph had handled traffic tickets in the past and always delivered. This was no traffic ticket. My first concern was being ...taken away from my 8 year old son. When we met, I expressed my concern. to Ralph. He reassured me that it was his problem now to worry about. He stated with extreme confidence " I will get you the best outcome possible." I am here today to tell you that I have no criminal charges from this matter. Ralph made sure that I was given a second chance to live my life. I am very grateful our paths crossed. The future is bright for my son and I. So, if you get yourself in a bad situation and feel like your buried in avalanche of charges. Take the Fear out of the situation and call Ralph Habib. Thank you again Ralph. Take care and God Bless

Excellent

Ralph was very clear in his explanations of the legal issues I was facing and successfully fulfilled every promise he made. I would strongly recommend him. He truly went above and beyond in my case and that is a rarity for an attorney.

Posted by anonymous | June 09, 2015 | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Recommend this lawyer

I got a speeding ticket on I-86 and the only way to deal with the court was through mail (which wouldn't work for me because I was in transition, lived in a different state, and the court wasn't responding to my voice mails in a timely manner). I contacted this law firm based on their google reviews,... and my experience has been similar - Mr. Habib listened to what had happened, told me how my case would go, the fees associated and then things went exactly like that. No hassles, issues or hidden fees. (His paralegal/secretary also always responded to my emails very promptly - much appreciated). I hope not to get any further speeding tickets, but if I were in legal trouble in which they could assist, I would hire them again. I do recommend this lawyer. Mr. Habib - Just FYI, I matched to UB and will be moving to Buffalo, NY :)
