I begged him to ask the DA to drop the charge to a ticket and he told the DA I would be fine taking a misdemeanor. He didn't even try! In fact, he argued against the DA lowering my charge. Let me explain after I talked to the DA and the DA said he would talk to my lawyer about dropping my charge to a ticket the DA approached Adam, which Adam blew him off and then took me into a room and told me "don't even try that I already told him you would be ok with a misdemeanor" I just lost my entire life because Adam could spent five minutes talking to the DA. And just beware Adam will be an hour late to every court appearance. I have to keep adding to this because I keep find out new things. So, during my case there was missing evidence, which I asked Adam to ask for which he told me he did. This was a lie he never requested the evidence, and it only took me three days to get it. Then he tells me that I my best option was to file an appeal, which wouldn't even apply to me because even though there was missing evidence and perjury on the side of the police you can't file an appeal in New York unless there were judicial errors. Meaning you cannot submit new evidence. Adam lied to me throughout the whole process. I would have been better off representing myself at least I could have talked to the DA and requested evidence, but because I hired Adam I wasn't allowed to, and he didn't do one thing I asked him to do just lied to me and said he did. I have to keep re posting this because apparently you can get bad reviews removed for no reason. There were three other bad reviews that said the same thing I am saying but somehow google doesn't believe people are allowed to share their experiences.

When I met Mike I had just been shocked to find that my marriage was over and everything I had ever…read moreworked for was in jeopardy. I felt completely lost and overwhelmed with fear of the unknown. As soon as the meeting was over I felt the first sense of hope that I had felt in a few months. Mike explained to me what was really going to take place. He also advised me on how to conduct myself and prepare to generate the best possible outcome which is extremely important. He was responsive via phone, email and text whenever I needed him...even when I interrupted his family vacation (sorry Mike!). Mike knows the law and he's not afraid to stand up on behalf of his client to protect their rights even when he's standing before the judge on your behalf. Thanks to Mike Schmitt I came out of this divorce in so much better shape than I could have ever allow myself to think possible when I walked into his office for the first time feeling all defeated. He is the only Divorce Attorney that I have and will continue to recommend to friends facing the same life changing experience. "MONEY"... For everyone that is the first concern when hiring a lawyer. Mike listened to my situation and his first priority was giving me the help I needed. When it came to money he worked within my means and was extremely affordable especially considering the level of representation that he provides. To be fair, the results he delivered outweighed anything he charged me by a long margin. Mike's a no BS attorney and a no BS business man. You can go elsewhere and pay 4 times as much but you're not going to get 4 times the representation... you're just paying for another law firms billboards and radio commercials! If you're reading this, you're probably in a tough spot and I remember that feeling. Do yourself a favor and set an appointment with Mike. For me it was literally the moment that I started the process of taking back the control over my life and future. For me to take the time to write this long of a review I hope you'll recognize it's because I'm just so thankful and I hope he can help others the way he has helped me.

After searching an Attorney who is genuinely helping the clients, I found Mr. Egan. Anyone who…read morereaches out to Mr. Egan, will realize right away he is a faithful and diligent true attorney. He will ensure you are protected and get the best outcome. In general, I am not a person who writes reviews that much, but I am so grateful how he deals with my case and feel the need to share my gratitude. Update: With the help of Mr. Egan, my case is completely dismissed with no negative record at all. Since the possibility for me to return a Federal Government work in near future, this positive result is a big deal to me. He is a lifesaver! I hope that any one facing legal problems can get help from "Extraordinary Attorney Mr. Egan." While I have been experiencing intense emotional distress due to my family health emergency, I got into a legal trouble unexpectedly. Without realizing, I was dragged into a situation where I could not defend myself. Only the other party reported his story to law enforcement officers. Mr. Egan suggested a fair legal fee and brought about outstanding results. He incorporates his previous experiences as a prosecutor and his connection with the District Attorney's Office. I very much hope that people facing legal trouble would be patient in searching for a true attorney and find Mr. Egan for help. Thank you very much, Mr. Egan! You ARE awesome!

We had a business issue that we needed to hire a law firm for. I had reached out to the Glennon law…read morefirm, was told that they require a retainer to give a consultation. However, Peter was nice enough to give us a call to have a quick conversation. He hyped himself up And let us to believe that we had a great possibility of winning our case. To continue to look further into all of our documents and paperwork Peter said that we would have to send a $5000 retainer for a more in depth consultation. So we did that. at that point, Peter did a switcheroo if you will, and had another attorney, give us a call. The reason we had given the retainer was based on our original conversation with Peter and we're hoping to work with Peter. After our conversation with this other lawyer, we had decided to not use this law firm. Third week of October I sent an email to, Peter secretary, telling her that we were going to move in a different direction they sent us a letter confirming that we were not going to be using their law firm anymore and it was signed by Peter. I requested about the refund of whatever monies were left from our retainer for the consultation and was told that it was being sent out this was November 1. It is now the 21st of November and we're being told that they're sent out once a month and they'll follow up with us when it's being sent out. So if you want to get the runaround and you want to get your money held, then this is the law firm for you, if not stay away from them.
