OUTSTANDING & BEST ATTORNEY YOU COULD EVER HIRE!

Seth Okin is one of the most OUTSTANDING attorneys I have come in contact with! Everyone knows how hard it is to choose the right attorney for your situation not to mention all of the research it takes to find a good one. Living in NC makes it even more difficult researching attorneys for another sta...te & trying to make take to attend court. We were astonished with attorney Okin and the way he handled my daughter's case! Not to sound cliche, however from the moment I contacted his law office and was appointed attorney Okin he contacted me immediately for a free consultation. He discussed my daughter speeding ticket options in great detailed as well as his plan of action. He offered to answer any & all questions we had re: her case prior to us retaining him. Most attorneys will only have that 1 consultation call & will not address any further questions or speak with you again until you retain them, but not Seth Okin! By far he is the absolutely BEST attorney for your case!! My daughter being a college student we were very concern she would lose her NC driving license based on the outcome of her case. Especially since MD/Montgomery co issue citations with the instructions per the officer to just pay the fine no court appearance necessary. Atty Okin kept in close communication with us keeping us updated on her case. He not only got her case resolved w/1 day probation PBJ, he prevented her from receiving NC DL pts & insurance pts!!! WE WERE EXTREMELY PLEASED with the outcome! Just want I wanted to accomplished! He is very courteous, friendly, professional and shows the utmost concern, respect & consideration to his clients needs. He listens to everything you have to say as well as explain in detail how the court system works, traffic citations, etc! He is extremely knowledgeable & knows so many judges & officers for Montgomery co. He works with you re: his retainer. He is thorough, follows up after the case is resolved with a phone call & email! We truly enjoyed working with him! Hopefully we will not have any additional incidents but if we do we will definitely call Seth Okin!! Thank you so much Atty Okin!!

DUI

With poor decision of mine, I put myself in a situation to face the court and jeopardize my organized life. The level of the stress, I had experienced, is difficult to describe, however, in my search for the lawyer I contacted Seth and I re-gained some optimism and relief. Seth was able to diagnose m...y case and offer resolutions immediately after learning the details of the incident. I was impressed by his professionalism, knowledge, and also personal approach toward me. I was glad that he offered me several options, including disputing the case in the court. In his busy schedule, he was available to answer any question, every email in a timely fashion. After the court hearing, he has still made him available to assist me and help me understand the processes I have to go through. I recommend Seth without any objections and would like to thank him once again for representing me in the court.

Very Very Satisfied

I needed a lawyer for driving on suspended out of state license. I thank God I decided to go with Seth. I didn't understand what to do or nothing about how Maryland handle things like this. I thought everything was handled when I paid the tickets. I found out it was not done. Seth worked my case... fast and with much experience. Seth was patient with my many questions, uncertainty, and fear. He understood that a negative outcome of this would effect my job back home. He had it all under control. I flew to Maryland for court and met him there, where I got to see his experience to work in person. After my case was dismissed i think I hugged him 3+ times. It was a big burden off my shoulder and I will not lose my job. He knew it was important to me. I suggest Seth to anyone not just cause of the great outcome of my case, but his experience and knowled of Maryland law and courts.

This is a guy who knows what he's talking about and really follows through

Seth Okin gave me some good legal advice on what to do in order to avoid getting into a high speed chase with the police and how to not get totally manhandled by the cops should I ever happen to find myself in a high speed chase with the police. Sure enough, it's been a couple of years and I haven't... been in any such incidents, nor have I been manhandled in any way, shape or form. Seth truly is a guiding light in a often times, intimidatingly perilous legal system for laymen such as myself.

Great representation in PG County

Seth made a really good impression on me during the initial consultation, he called me back immediately after I reached out to him, and I felt comfortable that he was familiar with this type of case. I was facing an allegation of Solicitation, and I needed an excellent attorney. We went to court, a...nd the case was dismissed because of Seth's hard work. Seth seemed very well known in the court, and the best part is that he got my case heard first. He just seem to know everyone in Pg County. I was extremely happy with the case was dismissed, Seth did such a good job and overall it went pretty quick. I would recommend Seth Okin to anyone in need of a great criminal defense attorney.
