THANK YOU, MR BLATT

After being sentenced to 2 years in prison, hundreds of hours of community service, years of probation and close to losing my job, Mr. Blatt fought hard non-stop for 2 years and 6 months plus more than 20 courts appearances with his work team, showing me his importance and his commitment to my case w...ith excellent communication from all his work team. letting me know step by step what happened with my case. Mr. Blatt showed all his experience and dedication which led to my record being completely clean. Thanks, Mr. Blatt for a new opportunity in my life.

THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS

Mr. Blatt was recommended to me after I was falsely accused of 9 felony counts (all white collar crimes), and less than 1 year later he got the entire case dismissed, and I never had to show up to court one time. You won’t find a better lawyer than Mr. Blatt, he is well worth every penny. Thank you M...r. Blatt for saving my life, literally.

He is an articulate, and tenacious lawyer....in fact I am recommending him to my girlfriend, in regards to a sexual abuse litigation case.....Nonetheless, he's your guy for any type of criminal defense.

Defending false allegations

I am sure Mr. Blatt invested a lot more time than he anticipated when he accepted my retainer. He advised me early on. "Being innocent of a crime is problematic" it takes much more work and negotiation. Ultimately Mr. Blatt made the Deputy DA understand he had a terrible witness with a history of... perjury that he did not have a winner and it was best for all parties to drop the charges. I was please with the outcome despite the slow process of dealing with the courts.

Avvo Rating

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
