    "I had spent three years working hard for 0 points on my license, so the small investment in this firm for a good defense seemed a good idea."
    The interaction with the firm is a 10/10 with prompt, precise and on point responses. Obviously this firm knows how to navigate the court system and in my case it was a $$$$ saver for my speeding violation, saving me points and I am sure a few digits on my

    "Honest and Dependable and Caring"
    I was in some serious trouble with child protective services. Mr. Andrew Proto of Proto, Sachs & Brown, LLP was very knowledgeable about the process and was familiar with all the players. He held my hand through this horrible ordeal. Pricing was fair and they worked with me and my horrible financial situation as most of my assets were in limbo at family court. Mr. Proto won my case and now I am vindicated of those horrible and untrue charges! Proto and Sachs got to the bottom of the nonsense and gave ME AND MY SON OUR LIVES BACK! Thank you so much Mr. Andrew Proto Please.. Please.... If you have any type of litigation you BETTER call Proto, Sachs & Brown, LLP!

    "David Sachs is a fantastic lawyer and overall good guy"
    When I first spoke to David Sachs I instantly felt confident in his abilities and personal character. Great result in my criminal case. I highly recommend him if you are arrested. He is a fantastic lawyer and an overall good guy!

    "Andrew contacted me to discuss and followed through 100% on everything he said."
    Gave them all necessary info about my case using their website. Andrew contacted me to discuss and followed through 100% on everything he said. I did not have to personally appear in court. Andrew handled everything for me with the Traffic Court judge. Ticket I had was reduced to a small fine and no points on my license keeping my record clean and avoiding possible increased car insurance cost. Will recommend Andrew and his firm to any family members & friends in need of legal council.

    "Fantastic law firm from top to bottom."
    David and Keith were fantastic throughout my case. Their knowledge , thoroughness and compassion was outstanding. Going through a divorce with small children was the worst time in my life but I was able to get through it with their help. Keith was always fully prepared for court and always had me fully prepared no matter my emotional state. He was hard and focused when he needed to be and always listened to every detail big or small. I wouldn't be where I am today with 2 happy kids if it wasn't for all of the help and hard work from David and Keith.

    "Outstanding lawyers. You have got to talk to them!"
    The firm helped me out in Yonkers, NY with a drug arrest. I thought all was lost and my wife was really annoyed with me. My lawyers kept everything under control and really put my mind at ease. They explained everything and even answered my frantic questions on a Saturday!! They are the type of guys that makes you feel good and knows what they are talking about. Its like everyone knew my lawyer in court and my lawyer was always prepared much more prepared than the DA. They worked everything out for me and all I had to do was stay out of trouble for a few months and the case was dismissed. Just like that dismissed. I wrote this review because I called the firm months and months later and even though I wasn't calling to hire the firm for anything they took the time to talk to me on the phone like a friend. If you don't know what lawyer to call you need to talk to Proto, Sachs & Brown, LLP!! They are great!
    - Former Client
    "Through their hard work, I was able to have my case dropped from a potential class 1 misdemeanor to a class 3 violation with a sealed case which will never have any bearing on my future."
    David Sachs and the lawyers at Proto, Sachs & Brown, LLP are the best criminal lawyers in Westchester County. Each lawyer in the firm are top-rated as I had the opportunity to work with each of the 3 attorneys.
