Defense

I hired Mr. Habib to be my lawyer and I was nothing short of impressed with him. He resolved the case in a timely manor and was very transparent with me and always kept me updated with what was going on. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer who wants their case resolved quickly.

The Best! Knowledgeable, Courteous, & Professional

Ralph worked to get me the best possible outcome. He outlined what I could expect, and concisely what we needed to do to get to that outcome. He was knowledgeable, empathetic, professional, and friendly. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Outstanding attorney

My son got a speeding ticket and Mr Habib got it reduced to a no point, non moving parking ticket. He was excellent to work with! He is professional, prompt and takes the time to answer your questions in detail. I have since consulted him on other legal matters and find him to be extremely knowledgab...le. Most importantly, he is trustworthy and has guided me corrrectly in all matters. I highly recommend Mr. Habib!

Excellent Lawyer with Great Experience, Trust and Concern

Ralph was great handling my case. I was both scared of the unknown and future of my case. Ralph showed concern and sympathy as well as compassion while dealing with my case and presented me the way a full legal team should. He is the best in the area when explaining “court to human” terms and breakin...g down what everything means. His attention to detail also helped with representing me and knowing facts about my case. I would recommend Ralph time and time again.

Posted by anonymous | September 04, 2018 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

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!
