Seth Okin - Legal Counsel & Life Saver

I contacted Seth after making the mistake of driving drunk. A DUI and accident charge... a potential criminal record in my twenties- I thought my life was over. Seth gave me the steps to take to get the best possible outcome. I did as he advised, put in the work, and despite my stupid decision I was ...offered a PBJ and no fine. Seth works weekends. I regularly received emails from him late at night. He cares about his clients, and went to great lengths to make sure my case was handled well. He's also great at calming your nerves, yet without sugarcoating things. In the courtroom, Seth will speak for you and represent you in the best light possible. His charisma and disposition serve him (and his clients) very well. He makes all options available to his clients clear, and advises the best course of action based on the clients' desired outcome. Personally, when he was representing me, I was totally impressed by his courtroom presence. TL;DR: Seth will go above and beyond for his clients. If you put your faith in him and take his advice, your case will be in very, very good hands.

DUI Charges

I made a huge mistake and drove under the influence while on vacation. It was totally my fault and I admitted it to both the arresting officer and when I was taken to the station. I hired Seth to represent me in this matter. Seth was awesome. He helped me navigate through the system and was ava...ilable any time I needed him. He was able to secure me a probationary sentence even though I was substantially above the legal limit. He could have kept his involvement to one court appearance if he accepted what was initially offered to me. However, he felt we should proceed to the next level and after 3 court visits, I was given probation and my life back. I have completed the probation and can put this ugly incident behind me thanks to the support I received from Seth. Seth is a man of extraordinary character and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Charged for DWI & More

Im from NYC and was in town for work, i decided to go for a bite at a local restaurant and also had a beer while there. On my way back to my hotel, my car reacted with a weird jitter/motion (my cars a lemon) that caused me go over and on to the side walk. This obviously in the middle of the n...ight caught the attention of a passing cop. In the motion I dropped my glasses, so I tried to find my glasses. At that moment the cop pulls up and smells alcohol and immediately locked me up. Hitting me with everything possible. With such ease and almost no effort, Seth was able to get the entire case dismissed. I was scared and thought I was going go lose my ability to drive and support my family. Well needless to say I still have my car and licence today as it was dismissed as if it never happened. Incredible! If i can give Seth more stars and the moon I would. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! he won't give up easy and will fight all the way. He is quick on he's feet and ready to argue all the way to a win. Thank you Seth! Super grateful for all your help.
