Great Attorney!!!

Over all my experience with Criminal Defense Legal Center was a refreshing one. Mr. Brodsky was very professional, knowledgeable and well versed in the courtroom. I was residing out of state at the time of my case, which added yet another complication to an already unusual circumstance. The Criminal ...Defense Legal Center handle my case quickly and efficiently, and most important the final outcome was one I was pleased with.

Great criminal defense attorney

I have never been in any legal trouble in my life, but the week before I moved across the country I was charged with a rather absurd charge. I frantically contacted Stephen and he was able to meet with me the next day. He explained the process and all potential outcomes and answered all of my questio...ns. His team helped calm my nerves and promised to do everything they could to make sure I didn't lose my job because of this issue. Stephen and his team represented me in court so I did not have to worry about traveling back to California for any of the court dates. During each step of the process I was informed what happened and what was next. If I had a question or concern I could always reach either Stephen or one of his associates on the phone (if I had to leave a message, they were always returned within hours). In the end, my charges were dropped and I didn't lose my job, which was Stephen's goal from our first meeting. I would definitely recommend Stephen to anyone needing legal representation.

Brodsky, Not Recommended!

I hired Stephen Brodsky nine years ago this May. I actually never met Mr. Brodsky personally. Instead, I was passed around to his Associates (not one Attorney had my case, but a total of three)! Ultimately, I was told I would not win and it would cost me thousands of dollars to go to trial. I bel...ieve Brodsky & his Associates never felt I had a case, but they knew they could get a quick and hefty retainer fee from me. How can you hire an Attorney and never see him? The charge negatively affected many years of my life. Please shop around before considering Brodsky.

Saved my license!

Mr. Brodsky represented me on a DUI charge. At the end all worked out well for my case, and I was very happy with his services and the result. I didn't even know that I had only 10 days from the date of my DUI arrest to call the DMV to try and save my license. Exceptional attorney. I would recommend ...him to anyone. You definitely need to have an experienced lawyer on your side if you find yourself facing a DUI.

  • 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.
