The Opinions That Matter Most
Thank you so much for all of your advice and help!
“I can’t say enough good things about these guys. Their service is worth every penny, super responsive and have a wonderful staff. I had consulted so many other lawyers and just didn’t feel they were a right fit. From the moment I spoke to Mr Kofman, I felt so much better and confident in him. Everything he said he would do, he did. I was not charged a penny more than what I was quoted, which was surprising from my previous experiences with other lawyers. On top of that, I feel like the whole team went above and beyond for us. I highly recommend these guys to everyone.”

“For the past year I’ve been fighting for my freedom. My world seemed like it was crashing before my eyes. I had 2 felony gun possession cases in Manhattan. From the beginning Russ and John were there. I was denied bail at my first hearing but they fought to over turn that so I can fight the case from the outside world instead of a jail cell.
