People vs. Daniel C. Albany, NY “I thought Michael was great. He really knows what he’s doing. The only thing negative was that I thought the price was high for my case. Public defender could have done this for half the price. But, you do get what you pay for and this legal team was very good!”

People vs. Kimberly M. Onondaga, NY …I was set up with a great team who would always answer when I called or call me right back. I usually called the legal assistant Joanne Arndt-Coe, and she was always polite and caring and would answer my questions and if she didn’t know the answer, would always find out for me. She’s definitely earning her salary! I would especially recommend Jeffrey Aumell, Derek Wild, Jonathan Ward, and their assistant Joanne Arndt-Coe, as people to ask for when going to your firm. However, I want to say I had a great outcome and I owe it all to my team of Jeffrey Aumell, Derek Wild, Jonathan Ward, and their assistant Joanne Arndt-Coe – who always helped me out and answered any questions I had along the way. They were terrific, and I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case.” Click here for more testimonials

People vs. Timothy B. Onondaga, NY “I would recommend them on the grounds that I felt adequately represented me and worked as hard as they could to give me a good outcome. Although the outcome to my case was not exactly what I had wanted, it wasn’t bad. As stated before I feel that my legal team did everything possible to give me the best legal representation. The fact that there was even a small possibility of getting something other than a DWAI is a testament of how well my team represented me. I am truly thankful for Patrick Hennessy. It was a difficult period for me and with his help I was able to get through it.”

People vs. Dawn M. Schenectady, NY “Kevin O’Brien did not just answer questions he did so with a few hours which reduced a lot of anxiety and worry throughout the entire 15 month process. Even during the year long silence from the court, Kevin, always kept in touch to let me know the cause of delay and asked if I wanted him to expedite the process. Kevin is an incredible representative of your firm. I spoke with many lawyers the morning after this happened. I am unsure now of which one I spoke to now as so much time as passed. Any other lawyer I spoke to wanted all monies up front and for me to plead guilty, I knew I was not guilty and did not want to plead guilty. Other lawyers did not want to listen to what happened or give me any insight as to what could have gone wrong. The first lawyer I spoke to from your firm listened attentively to every detail, asked questions then asked what type of retainer I would be able to provide….I immediately felt somewhat relieved, hopeful and that I would be able to fight this. Kevin took it the rest of the way. Although we did not receive the outcome we wanted because of the sad and threatening way Judge Massry is running his courtroom, I am so very grateful for having Kevin and your firm in my corner during these difficult months.”

People vs. Gary D. Jefferson, NY “I feel I paid a fair price for a lawyer in this matter! I did not get out of trouble 100%, but I’m satisfied with the end results! Due to new laws, I could have been in a lot of trouble, higher fines, etc.! It was hard to deal with my case because I work out of state but all in all….your team did a great job and I won my case! Thanks again!” Click here for more testimonials

People vs. Julie M. Saratoga, NY “I feel that Kevin did an outstanding job. I feel that my team did a great job. I would like to thank all the efforts of all the people involved. I am very hopeful that things will all work out in the end. Not every project/case is the same or easily explained/solved through our current legal system. Thank you again for listening and helping me though some pretty rough times.”

People vs. Daniel K. Luzerne, PA “Benjamin was excellent in his representation of my case when he took over. He was excellent in informing me of my options. I felt at first that the main concern for the firm was to collect the payment as soon as possible. However, I understand the need to protect the best interest of the law firm, so I cannot say that is a negative. I did feel as if the price was a little bit high, but in talking to the other people who were in similar situations, the price was fair. When Benjamin H. took over the case, I couldn’t have been happier. He was in constant contact with me and gave me some great options and clearly explained my options. I feel as if he got me a great deal, and I could not be happier with his representation. Overall I couldn’t be happier with the representation and results that your firm have attained.”

People vs. Daniel F. Lewis, NY “I would like to thank you for all the help with the DWI. I would like to say if I did not get someone to represent me I would of not got out of the DWI so thanks for all the help. Hope not to do this again.”
