An excellent lawyer to have in your corner
Excellent lawyer. I have never been in trouble before. No idea what to expect after my arrest. Adam took care of everything and kept me informed every step of the way. His calm and caring demeanor put me at ease in for sure.

By far the best lawyer!
I contacted Adam on a Sunday morning about a Felony DWI I got the night prior. Within an hour I got a call back from Adam. He is by far the most prepared and honest lawyer you will get. He put my mind to ease just even speaking to him on the phone that Sunday. U will NOT be disappointed with Adam.

Excellent lawyer!
Adam Militello was instrumental in getting my DWI reduced to a DWAI. Thanks to Adam, I have no criminal record. (DWAI is a traffic violation in NY state.) I have been able to move past this experience - and now have a new job in a highly regulated industry. Background check for the new job came back ...
