Top notch service.

My experience with Salzmann Law exceeded my expectations in every way. From the speed of their initial callback, to the consultation, to the negotiations, to the hearing, Carl and Emily made it a seamless process the whole way. Not to mention using their years of practice and established relationship...s to work out a very favorable deal. They truly do offer a full service experience from start to finish, at a very agreeable flat rate.

Very Helpful, Highly Recommend.

Carl Salzmann was very responsive to my legal issue and focused on trying to work the case out immediately. As it developed, he and Emily both were very informative and kept me updated and helped make it easier for me to do what was needed for the case, but to keep going about my life. Without th...em, my case certainly would not have turned out as well as it had, and I am very thankful to them and glad I hired Carl Salzmann.

The Best

When I found myself in legal trouble at 38 years old for the first time, I was embarrassed, scared and definitely in need of help. I was referred to Mr. Salzmann by a close friend. Mr. Salzmann was professional, well connected and extremely knowledgeable about the Monroe county system. There is nobod...y I would recommend more highly than Carl Salzmann. He handled my case with care and efficiency, and I could always reach his office for questions about my case. In the search for the right attorney I spoke via telephone with several law offices. After finding Carl I can assure you, he did the best job possible for a fraction of what I was quoted from other offices! While I hope never again to be in need of his services, I would consider nobody else to represent me! Thanks Salzmann Law!!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
