I was charged with a DUI in New York City . It was a refusal case. The first day I met Aniko, I knew I was in good hands. she went through every minute detail about the case weighing the strengths and weaknesses and was upfront with me. Aniko was very professional and knowledgeable. I was very scare...d at that point because it was my first time going through this process. Also, being a professional, my career was at stake, so I wanted to make sure I went to the best. she put my fears to rest and guided me throughout the process. In particular, she was very approachable and she used to call me back right away. I honestly feel that I could not have wished anyone better than her to represent me. Since, I was innocent, I wanted to go to trial as this was my best chance of winning the case. Aniko went over the trial process with me, and guided me at every step. sHe was very effective with the jury and was able to catch their attention every time she spoke. I was acquitted of all charges after the trial. I would highly highly recommend her if you have been unfortunate like me and need representation

She helped me keep my little girl

I went through a pretty bad divorce with my wife and for reasons I'd rather not talk about openly I felt she was unfit to care for my little girl so I wanted full custody of her, make sure she was well taken care of. I went searching for lawyers that deal with this kind of thing and a friend of mine ...suggested I talk to Aniko so I did. I called her and she was very professional and understanding of the whole situation. She worked very hard for my case and she definitely knows the laws very well. We won the case thanks to her and I'm so happy that my baby is safe with me.

I can't say enough good things about Aniko Hoover. She truly knows what she's doing, and was there for me every step of the way.

Fought for me!

Aniko Hoover has proven to be the BEST DUI lawyer on this planet! She helped my son get out of a very tricky situation, and doesn't overcharge either. Thank you!!!

EXCELLENT LADY ATTORNEY!!!!

I didn't think I could afford a private attorney, but Attorney Aniko Rushakoff's fees were listed on her website and she stuck firm to her advertised fees even after I spoke with her and told her some complications in my case that I feared would make it more expensive. I was afraid that if I didn't h...ire a fancy, expensive attorney that I would receive less attention and a worse outcome for my case. Instead, I found that she is extremely personable and knowledgeable. She is just amazing! The judge liked her and the prosecutor was very friendly to her as well, which made me feel less like a victim of the system. She reassured me on all matters of my case. She was able to work out a deal for me that was more than fair.
