Whenever I had questions, they were able to answer them, Mr Long kept me informed about my case (through calls, emails, and/or text messages.) We got the settlement today.

I would like to give recognition to my attorney Mr. John Kelly for his compassion, support, and…read moreexpertise during a traumatic time in my life. I was accused of many false accusations leaving me extremely stressed and overwhelmed. Although I was still struggling with the circumstances surrounding what was being done to me, John's sympathetic demeaner put me at ease so that I was able to explain the preceding events that lead to the actions which caused the arrest. He communicated honestly and effectively so that I was able to understand the possible consequences associated with the charges. I was then able to make an informative decision moving forward. The most serious charge had a sentence of 25 years in prison. His intellect and attention to details regarding inconsistencies within the case resulted in a favorable outcome (2 years probation) given the seriousness of the 4 felonies I was charged with. Mr. John Kelly has many attributes that make him an attractive attorney for anyone in need of help. Two instances among many profoundly stuck out in my mind that deserve praise. One situation was when he gave me a voice in court when I felt I didn't have one. His quick wit combined with assertiveness and strength as he spoke to the judge on my behalf showed he had compassion for the situation that I was in. He is precisely the attorney you would want when advocating and fighting to preserve your rights in a world where things aren't always fair. Thank you John for all of the help you gave me throughout this difficult time in my life.

Based on multiple recommendations, we retained the Law Offices of Gilbert A. Schaffnit…read morepost-conviction to represent a family member. I had the opportunity to observe their work closely, and their experience with post-conviction matters was evident. From the beginning, Mr. Schaffnit and his staff were responsive, knowledgeable, and clear about the process. Mr. Schaffnit provided thoughtful guidance by clearly outlining the available options, including the potential upside, downside, and risks of each path. That level of clarity made a difficult situation much easier to understand and navigate. What also stood out was the strength of Mr. Schaffnit's team. His staff is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and effective. He is also very mindful that many people cannot afford high legal fees, and he takes a thoughtful approach to managing costs--delegating appropriate work to his capable staff at lower hourly rates, while personally overseeing the case and handling the aspects that require his direct expertise. The firm has provided valuable guidance to our family on navigating reentry and probation. Even after our family member was released from custody, the firm remains available to answer questions, provide guidance, and offer continued support. It's also worth noting that Mr. Schaffnit is admitted to practice in federal courts and across multiple jurisdictions, which reflects a broader depth of experience. Our only regret is that we did not know in time to retain his services for the original federal case. I believe if Mr. Schaffnit had represented our family member, the original outcome would have been much different. I would highly recommend the Law Offices of Gilbert A. Schaffnit to anyone in need of a highly skilled defense attorney. Mr. Schaffnit is a remarkable defense attorney.

He was angry and red faced because he was not prepared for court that day, by his own admission. My family was denied the right to witness court proceedings and show support. I would not recommend him to any one.
