David and Keith were fantastic throughout my case. Their knowledge , thoroughness and compassion was outstanding. Going through a divorce with small children was the worst time in my life but I was able to get through it with their help. Keith was always fully prepared for court and always had me fully prepared no matter my emotional state. He was hard and focused when he needed to be and always listened to every detail big or small. I wouldn't be where I am today with 2 happy kids if it wasn't for all of the help and hard work from David and Keith.- Matthew B

I hired the law firm while searching for an attorney who specialized in DWI cases. I had a pending case with the Bronx Probation Department and felt hopeless. I called the office and within an hour received a response from Andrew Proto. I explained my situation in great detail and for the first time since my arrest, someone was on my side! In addition to answering all my questions, I felt as though he understood my concerns and was ready to fight for me. I can't tell you enough how refreshing it was to have someone in your corner, especially since my previous attorney wouldn't give me the time of day. The firm was very professional and extremely knowledgeable of DWI law. Mr. Proto went as far as contacting the Counsel's office for the Bronx Probation Dept. to make his presence known. He wanted to make sure I wasn't being taken advantage of and pleaded my case. Whenever I called the firm they responded immediately, even if I reached out multiple times a day. I tend to over analyze details and Mr. Proto was very polite and understanding in dealing with me. He reassured and kept me informed throughout my horrible ordeal. I felt at peace knowing Mr. Proto was handling my case; I had not felt peaceful in a long time. To this day, although the case is settled, my lawyer continues to reach out to the Bronx Probation Dept. showing he is ready to fight on my behalf. I highly recommend these guys, they get the job done.- Former Client

Andrew defended me in a serious traffic violation of which I was not guilty. He kept me informed at all times and was knowledgeable and responsive. Notwithstanding that the judge would not accept a plea bargain for this offense as a matter of policy, Andrew requested a trial. He defended me successfully and I was found not guilty. I am grateful to Andrew for seeking and defending justice. I would recommend him highly.- Former Client

I have worked with Keith Brown and he always took the time to answer my questions. He always had a plan for me and explained everything clearly.- Jason B.
-
David was very knowledgeable yet also pragmatic and focused when discussing the outcomes surrounding my case. He was able to reach the best deal for me, getting my 6 point traffic ticket dropped to NO points and will NOT be reported to the DMV. He's affordable, and it was immediately obvious to me that he is not concerned about price gouging. David's professionalism put me at ease and I felt confident in his ability to represent me during my court appearance. Everything about the process felt organized and well-managed, and I have no reservations recommending his services.- B.M.

Thank you for treating me as if I was a VIP. David did a great job getting my speeding charge dismissed. He is very responsive and clearly knows what he is doing.- Former Client

About a year ago I met with Andrew Proto and hired his firm, Proto, Sachs & Brown, LLP to handle my criminal case. Andrew was able to work out a deal with the prosecutor to have my criminal charges dismissed and my court record sealed. It was also obvious to me that the judges and even the prosecutors know and liked Andrew which I believe made him lawyer much more effective and successful in my case. I really appreciate his service and the firm.- Ricky C.

David Sachs and the lawyers at Proto, Sachs & Brown, LLP are the best criminal lawyers in Westchester County. Each lawyer in the firm is very professional. We had complete confidence in them when we retained them for our son's felony drug case. Originally we had a different lawyer handling the matter but we felt that the case was headed in the wrong direction as the former lawyer recommended that our son plead guilty to a felony. After we hired them they immediately developed a clearly laid out a strategy and approach to the case and they made us feel at ease. We finally had great lawyers fighting on our son's behalf. Ultimately, our son did not have to plead guilty to a felony or even a crime! Mr. Sachs was able to obtain an ACD dismissal and now our son will not have a criminal record and his plans to become a CPA will not be derailed!!! Thank you soooooo very much Proto, Sachs & Brown, LLP!- Laura and Todd D.
