So Thankful!

I am so thankful I found Mr. Stephen Brodsky to represent me for the 1st time DUI defense. From the moment I called him which was early on a Saturday morning, he personally answered my phone call and went out of his way to meet me during the holiday season over a weekend. I was frantic and scared as ...this was my first offense and I am a working professional who has never had so much as a traffic ticket. Mr. Brodsky put me at ease immediately with his calm demeanor. He is highly knowledgable and has an amazing staff who respond promptly to call or emails and they stay in constant contact and communication with me taking much care in explaining what to expect. I never fell like I don't know what my next step is. Mr. Brodsky and his staff have guided me through this whole process with much care and consideration. I feel Mr. Brodsky and his team genuinely care. Mr. Brodsky offers 1st class services and I would highly recommend him to any of my family, friends or anyone in need of a top notch defense team.

Amazing criminal attorney

Mr Brodsky is an excellent attorney. I was charged with felony fraud and perjury because of a mistake made on government documentation. This was easily the most frightening event in my life. Any conviction would have been disastrous to my life, my goals and my reputation. Mr Brodsky knew exactly what... to do and through his relationship with the DAs office he was able to convince the District Attorney that it was not in my character and all charges were dropped against me. I owe Mr Brodsky a deep level of gratitude. I would recommend Mr Brodsky's law office to anyone facing criminal charges. He will fight for you and attain the best end possible. If you want the BEST, you want Stephen Brodsky!

Warrant and Speedy Trial violation

I went to Mr. Brodsky to take care of a 3 year old warrant for a no show to court and to resolve the related case of false identification to a police officer. Mr. Brodsky had a presence about him when he first stepped into the court room. I was far more confident in the possible outcome right away.... Within a few minutes, he was more aware of what was going on in the courtroom than the DA and his aides were. The warrant was quickly repealed at this first appearance. He also arranged for my presence to not be necessary for all further court meetings. A few months after the warrant dismissal, the charge was dropped for violation of right to a speedy trial. I am glad I went to Stephen Brodsky for help, he took care of my problem without having it in my daily life. I would recommend him to anyone.

Seriously THE BEST!!

Mr. Brodsky was seriously the best choice I ever made. He saved me so much stress, money and time!! THANK YOU!! He did alot of work for me and even was available by his personal cellphone. Not many attorneys will call you back on a Saturday just to answer questions and calm my nerves. I am so glad th...at I choose to do buisness with him during this time in my life. He is definately worth your money and your freedom!!!

Perfect Choice!

I had a 2nd offense DUI that had me losing my mind, but after speaking with Mr. Brodsky on the phone, I decided to hire him. I was very pleased with my decision.   He is not always easy to get a hold of, but that does not mean he is not doing his job. He is a busy man, and I’m sure he has thousands... of cases like mine. But when it came down to business, he handled everything as he promised he would.   I highly suggest you give Stephen Brodsky a call if you get into any trouble.  Mr. Brodsky thanks a lot for helping me out!
