Case Dismissed Without Going To Trial…read more In November 2021, I was falsely accused by a cleaning woman in a major gaming facility of a sex crime, one of the worst crimes in America. They cowardly called the police and without doing any investigation, I was arrested and charged. I was devastated! Something like this has never happened to me. A court appointed attorney was assigned to my case which was a nightmare. She wanted me to accept the offer from the District Attorney which would have been disadvantageous to me and my career in many ways. It was obvious that I was going down the wrong path with this attorney so I asked the judge to remove her from my case and appoint another attorney. The court appointed Mike Schillinger. The first time I met Mike, I was sitting in court and he came over and introduced himself as my new attorney. He appeared confident, easy going and professional. He listened to me thoroughly and assured me that he would work hard to achieve the best outcome for me. I was in the fight for my life and needed an advocate who believed in me and would stand up for me. Mike went the extra mile by filing the necessary court documents and appealing to the judge to consider appropriate legal arguments. Mike's tenacity, focus and legal skills made a tremendous difference in my situation. My case was dismissed without going to trial. He did a remarkable job of which I am very grateful. I would definitely recommend Mike as an intelligent, hardworking and competent attorney. Thanks. Delroy.

To say he doesn't know what he is doing would be disingenuous. He's a skilled and experienced…read moreattorney. In the court room he's confident, unafraid in a place specifically designed to intimidate. However, he's dishonest and doesn't mind a conflict of interest. If it's you vs the DA's office, who do you think he's going to side with? He's going to stay within visible legal bounds but behind the scenes there is no telling what he will do in a situation where it's politically expedient for him to screw you over. His legals skills are not in question. It's his ethics that are shameful. When the judge's eye is on him, he'll act appropriately. Other than that, he will take a mile... Also a confidential information leaker and disseminator. There has to be something fundamentally broken within Melinda Katz's black heart. She failed to abide by her discovery obligations, which invalidated her certificate of readiness, which then resulted in the dismissal of the case they brought against me. Their failure was so egregious that the case had to be dismissed. They withheld discovery and did not mention that the woman of the case assaulted me - punched me in the face and repeatedly kept striking me. They also failed to mention that the Colombian woman (barely spoke English) was on the verge of an expiring visa and gave her ultimate incentive to pursue a case. (Wearing Patagonia and working as a nanny for the rich was more than enough to deceive them.) This bigoted witch tried to treat me as a statistic and kept lying to herself thinking I was just another minority. In court, she even whispered a slur under her breath that was gross and disturbing - even worst in that type of the situation. She said it very low and in my direction to ensure I only heard it. It felt like she stabbed my spirit. Undoubtably she knew it would. For her, it was just another life to butcher. You would think it would have ended there but this sore loser just could not take being outsmarted by an educated young man. So what did she do? She broke the law. She kept a case unsealed after what the judge determined and I believe she used that as a fraudulent tool of harassment. It remained unsealed for over a year due to her illegal obstruction!!!!! It was supposed to be done and over with in 2024 and they are still obstructing the judge's order!!!! I've maintained my innocence in each and every instance and have always been willing to let the facts speak for themselves. There is something else at play here. Places I worked for knew about this case. How did they know? I didn't discuss it. Imagine how embarrassing that is. You put your mind, heart and soul for a favorable outcome because you are on the side of truth. And this miserable witch continues her assault and continuously tries to ruin your career. And this isn't an ordinary person she has the power of taking away your freedom, she's rich and she doesn't use her own money for her sick sadistic sore losing fantasies. She uses the state's money and resources for personal vendettas and to soothe her inflated ego. May god damn her office and her.

Since the beginning, he has been honest, knowledgeable, and very clear with the issue, potential risk, and expected outcome. After I finished the paperworks, he completely handled everything and filed all required documents. While I was away on vacation, he represented me for the court conference and emailed me the great news: even at a tough court, he was able to reduce a 6-point ticket down to a parking violation with no points and no impact on my driving record and insurance. This result is definitely way better than what we expected. Mr. Shelton made the whole process simple with no stress. If you're looking for an experienced traffic attorney how really cares for his clients, knows how to navigate the courts, and offers a great price compared to others, I would absolutely recommend Mr. Shelton and his firm.

The original fine was about $300 in October, which I returned, checked off stating I was going to contest it, hoping I could get reduced fine. Now the fine was up to $955 for my August court date. 10 months and $700 of interest! WTF! John told me that I could NOT go there anytime I wanted to fight the ticket, but he could becaues he is a LAWYER. He said he would be in there for an hour and it would cost $450 for his services but would do it for $350. Thanks John. I call Dennis B. O'Sullivan of New York Ticket Defense. http://nyticketdefense.com/index.html He only wanted to charge me $100, because it was simple and because he would already be there it would only take about 10 minutes of his time. And he said the fine should be around $80, so about $180 total. Dennis also told me I could just walk into the Suffolk County Hauppauge traffic court office any day take care of it before I leave the country next week. This is exactly what I did and I only paid a $85 fine!!!! So don't trust THE SNAKE IN THE SUIT that goes by the name of John Caffrey. Do yourself a favor and visit an HONEST lawyer Dennis B.
