"The best part was anytime I needed to speak with Andrew, he was available and always offered to answer my questions even on weekends."Andrew Proto is the best!! He helped me on my DWI case in Harrison New York so much. All the other lawyers I spoke to were doom and gloom. Andrew told me everything I needed to know about my case and was very aggressive against the DA. I was so comfortable in court with him. The best part was anytime I needed to speak with him he was available and always offered to answer my questions even on weekends. Thanks to him and his office for the help!!!- Former Client

"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!- Thomas J.

"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

"Each lawyer in the firm is very professional. We had complete confidence in them when we retained them for our son's felony drug case."David Sachs and the lawyers at Proto, Sachs & Brown, LLP are the best criminal lawyers in Westchester County. Each lawyer in the firm is very professional. We had complete confidence in them when we retained them for our son's felony drug case. Originally we had a different lawyer handling the matter but we felt that the case was headed in the wrong direction as the former lawyer recommended that our son plead guilty to a felony. After we hired them they immediately developed a clearly laid out a strategy and approach to the case and they made us feel at ease. We finally had great lawyers fighting on our son's behalf. Ultimately, our son did not have to plead guilty to a felony or even a crime! Mr. Sachs was able to obtain an ACD dismissal and now our son will not have a criminal record and his plans to become a CPA will not be derailed!!! Thank you soooooo very much Proto, Sachs & Brown, LLP!- Laura and Todd D.

"David's professionalism put me at ease and I felt confident in his ability to represent me during my court appearance."David was very knowledgeable yet also pragmatic and focused when discussing the outcomes surrounding my case. He was able to reach the best deal for me, getting my 6 point traffic ticket dropped to NO points and will NOT be reported to the DMV. He's affordable, and it was immediately obvious to me that he is not concerned about price gouging. David's professionalism put me at ease and I felt confident in his ability to represent me during my court appearance. Everything about the process felt organized and well-managed, and I have no reservations recommending his services.- B.M.

"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.- Matthew B
