The best to ever do it.

It’s unfortunate to say my circumstances led me to Seth okin, but not unfortunate to have met a human like him, the drive, the dedication, the passion for his work and the people he serves shows, and goes above and beyond most I have seen. It’s a bummer when the shows over and you have to part ways!... Mayb I’ll get a speeding ticket soon enough to have the pleasure to work with him again. Highly recommended! But don’t take my word for it, the reviews speak for themself!

Outstanding service

I reached out to Mr. Okin after reading so many great reviews and now I know they are all well justified. He provided outstanding representation and achieved the best possible outcome. He responds quickly to calls and e-mails and he was a pleasure to work with. Needless to say, I highly recommend ...him.

Fantastic Experience with Mr. Okin

Mr. Okin represented me in Circuit Court and was fantastic to work with. I did a consultation with Seth after a horrendous experience being represented by a different attorney at another office. The experience with the previous attorney left me with a lot of trust issues regarding attorneys however, ...from the start of the conversation with Seth I had already been placed at ease. He was extremely knowledgeable and has a confidence in him that is unmatched. I signed with Seth immediately after the conversation and placed my trust in him. As paranoid as I was, I would contact Seth and he would tell me, “Don’t worry. I’m taking care of everything.” And he certainly was. I was always able to reach him and he was very responsive. If he didn’t know an answer to my question, he found the answer very quickly and contacted me. While he always worked for me and my wishes, he always gave realistic advice and advised what the outcome would be if certain routes were taken. I was very pleased with my outcome and with working with Seth. Every time we spoke, he remembered me, he remembered my case, and he worked very hard to get the best possible outcome. He is very busy and I don’t know how he stays on top of everything but it was a great experience dealing with Seth who truly knows his clients and cares for his clients. His work, his knowledge, his ability to connect with his clients, and his professionalism made this a great experience.

Please, Read before you consult this guy..

I was arrested for a simple Trespassing and Curfew Violation. First Arrest Ever. After being shocked by the price I consulted a few more attorneys who were just as shocked as I was! Now keep in mind that I informed him I’m a Disabled Combat Veteran with a dying fiancée who is constantly in an...d out of the hospital and I had no money to begin with. I really thought maybe this lawyer had a soul as he talked a good game. The lawyer I hired (not him) charged $3k and I got 32 hours community service. It should be criminal.. He wanted $18,000!!!!!! 6 Times what I eventually spent!! So glad that if I go to heaven, I won’t have to see this guy. I hope this helps. God Bless and Good Luck.

Thank you for your time and feedback regarding your matter. Per your request, the quoted price was for a full jury trial to fight the allegations for which you have since taken a plea; reduced to work with your circumstances. All fees are quoted to the uniqueness of that individual matter, weighing the circumstances and in this particular allegation, the significant event and location related to these charges.
