Richard Hochhauser and his team deliver fast case resolutions with consistent attention to detail. Clients emphasize his responsiveness to calls and questions, his ability to explain legal steps plainly, and his success getting charges dismissed or reduced. Many note he treats their cases personally, not transactionally, and several say they felt genuinely heard throughout the process.
The office runs smoothly from intake through courtroom appearance. Reviewers name staff as equally professional and knowledgeable, and several mention reasonable fees. Cases span misdemeanors, traffic offenses, and more complex charges; the common thread is clients leaving without expected penalties or records.
Half the reviews praise Guy Allen's empathy and legal knowledge, citing resolved cases and fair pricing. The other half describe underprepared defenses, missing case documents, and poor outcomes in DWI matters. One reviewer noted his former business partner was arrested for defrauding clients.
Ben Akbulut handles traffic violations, tickets, and license suspensions primarily, resolving most cases with reduced or dismissed charges. Clients consistently praise his quick communication, organized approach, and ability to eliminate points they thought impossible to remove. One early complaint noted unresponsiveness and a mismatched fee, but this is isolated among 95 reviews. His practice area appears centered on motor vehicle law rather than foreclosure matters, despite directory placement. Reviewers highlight his efficiency in Nassau and Suffolk counties, his multilingual capability (Turkish), and his talent for getting favorable plea deals. Many describe the experience as "stress-free" and credit him with turning stressful situations around quickly. He is described as knowledgeable, dedicated, and genuinely caring about client outcomes.
Most clients praise Joseph Megale's professionalism, responsiveness, and ability to deliver results beyond expectations. Two one-star reviews report non-appearance for paid services and lost contact, a serious concern that contrasts sharply with the 82% five-star majority.
