Bad things happen to good people

A criminal attorney is not what I ever hoped to need. When my son was picked up on a DUI I knew I needed the very best.. The night he called me from the police precinct, my first thought was, I don't know any criminal lawyers. Who is going to defend my son? Without a reference, my fingers scoured the... internet. Something about his website put me at ease. When I called his office, it was already late, but his secretary answered as fresh as if I was the first call of the morning and Mr. Blatt got on the phone immediately to speak with me. Right away his professional manner put me at ease. He explained everything my son would be going through and how he was going to be there with my son every step of the way. Knowing every time I felt afraid that Mr. Blatt would always be there to take my call and patiently talk me through my fear is what kept me kept me sane. He handled my son's case as if it were his own child's life in jeopardy. When your child is behind bars, the whole family is in prison. Mr. Blatt made sure my son got back to living his life as quickly and painlessly as possible. To me, Mr Blatt's expertise and integrity is unmatched. I can never thank him enough.

  • 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.
