I felt him as a friend rather than lawyer while working with him. I recommended my friend to him for and even he is happy.” – Rohit

“Mike was very informative and straightforward with everything in my case. I had 3 tickets that were over a year old, ranging from a no signal violation to a speeding violation of 90 over 55 which all lead to a suspension. After I consulted Mike for the first time, within 10 days, I was able to take care of all my tickets and my suspension. I highly recommend him; he is a great lawyer.” – Eric

“I endorse this lawyer. I have known Michael since we attended Hofstra Law School. He has a wide array of expertise, offering expert counsel in many areas. He was of particular assistance to my wife in connection with vehicle/driver’s license issue, securing full dismissal of the matter. He also drafted our wills. I have full trust and confidence in his abilities and would seek his counsel on almost any matter. In sum, he is a terrific attorney.” – Richard B.

“I recently retained Mr. Alpert to assist with my son’s traffic violation. I initially reached out to him and despite being away he responded. He was consistent and timely in his response. My son had 2 court dates. He represented him in both instances. The charge of aggregated unlicensed operator could have come with hefty fines and possible jail time. He negotiated to no points assessed, no jail time and minimal fee. Hands down he was more than I expected. I will be using him again and recommending him to my friends and family. He is honest and knows the law.” – Norma D.

Story #1

A resident had numerous traffic misdemeanors and violations, most notably driving with a suspended license in Suffolk County. The extent of the tickets and charges presented quite a challenge. After speaking with the DA, I was able to reduce all of these serious charges to a parking ticket. It was a big victory.
