    "In addition to answering all my questions, I felt as though he understood my concerns and was ready to fight for me."
    I hired the law firm while searching for an attorney who specialized in DWI cases. I had a pending case with the Bronx Probation Department and felt hopeless. I called the office and within an hour received a response from Andrew Proto. I explained my situation in great detail and for the first time since my arrest, someone was on my side! In addition to answering all my questions, I felt as though he understood my concerns and was ready to fight for me. I can't tell you enough how refreshing it was to have someone in your corner, especially since my previous attorney wouldn't give me the time of day. The firm was very professional and extremely knowledgeable of DWI law. Mr. Proto went as far as contacting the Counsel's office for the Bronx Probation Dept. to make his presence known. He wanted to make sure I wasn't being taken advantage of and pleaded my case. Whenever I called the firm they responded immediately, even if I reached out multiple times a day. I tend to over analyze details and Mr. Proto was very polite and understanding in dealing with me. He reassured and kept me informed throughout my horrible ordeal. I felt at peace knowing Mr. Proto was handling my case; I had not felt peaceful in a long time. To this day, although the case is settled, my lawyer continues to reach out to the Bronx Probation Dept. showing he is ready to fight on my behalf. I highly recommend these guys, they get the job done.
    - Former Client

    Thank you for your excellent representation with respect to my ticket. I didn't have to go to court, you took care of everything and my record is clear. Thank you for saving my driving record.
    - Former Client
    "The result was everything I wanted no criminal convictions and most of the charges were just dismissed."
    I am not happy about my DWI, but the firm was perfect in helping me get through the case. They explained everything to me and took the time to answer my questions. The result was everything I wanted no criminal convictions and most of the charges were just dismissed. What I liked the best was a few weeks after my case was over they took my call and answered the other questions I had. They are really nice guys and a great attorneys. If you have a problem just call. You will not be disappointed.
    - Former Client
    "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.
    - Leonard M.
    "Outstanding lawyers. I have worked with them twice and they know what they are doing."
    I have worked with Keith Brown and he always took the time to answer my questions. He always had a plan for me and explained everything clearly.
