Client Testimonials

"Fantastic Lawyer and Overall Good Guy"

When I first spoke to David Sachs I instantly felt confident in his abilities and personal character. Great result in my criminal case. I highly recommend him if you are arrested. He is a fantastic lawyer and an overall good guy! - J.B.

"Best Criminal Defense Lawyers in Westchester"

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.

"The Judges and Even the Prosecutors Know and Liked Andrew"

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.

"Proto, Sachs & Brown, LLP is Above and Beyond Great "

Proto, Sachs & Brown, LLP handled my DWI case and my criminal trespass case. My attorney had to appear in 2 different courthouses, deal with multiple charges and whenever I had questions or concerns he was always available and put my mind at ease. He responded to my emails quickly. He is above and beyond a great lawyer and was able to get the best result for me. I would recommend this firm to anyone for their criminal case. - John

"As Far As Lawyers Go, Mr. Sachs is an 11 out of 10"

WOW, can't say enough about David Sachs, professional, aggressive, knowledgeable and never left me in the dark about my felony DWI case. When I hired Mr. Sachs and his firm I already had a felony DWI conviction and I was sentenced to five years' probation. I came to the firm with my second felony DWI charge and probation violation. Mr. Sachs was able to get me restored back to probation with no jail time. Then I picked up my third felony DWI charge and I thought it was all over for me. However, Mr. Sachs never lets up! I doubted his belief that I could get back on probation and stay out of state prison. But in the end, he delivered! Mr. Sachs gave a very passionate sentencing argument to the judge. I was very moved myself. Because of the Mr. Sachs' loyalty to me and his profession, the impossible was made possible! As far as lawyers go, Mr. Sachs is an "11 out of 10". God Bless. - Carl S.

"My Attorney Was Very Professional, Knowledgeable & Confident"

Before speaking to Proto, Sachs & Brown, LLP I felt that my legal situation was going out of control. I was scared and felt not only helpless but hopeless. After speaking with the firm I felt confident that things will turn around and get better and in fact, they did. My attorney was very professional, knowledgeable and confident. I would recommend them to anyone who is arrested. - Marcella J.

"I Felt at Peace Knowing Mr. Proto Was Handling My Case"

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. - Anonymous

    "Fantastic law firm from top to bottom."
    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

    "Outstanding lawyers. You have got to talk to them!"
    The firm helped me out in Yonkers, NY with a drug arrest. I thought all was lost and my wife was really annoyed with me. My lawyers kept everything under control and really put my mind at ease. They explained everything and even answered my frantic questions on a Saturday!! They are the type of guys that makes you feel good and knows what they are talking about. Its like everyone knew my lawyer in court and my lawyer was always prepared much more prepared than the DA. They worked everything out for me and all I had to do was stay out of trouble for a few months and the case was dismissed. Just like that dismissed. I wrote this review because I called the firm months and months later and even though I wasn't calling to hire the firm for anything they took the time to talk to me on the phone like a friend. If you don't know what lawyer to call you need to talk to Proto, Sachs & Brown, LLP!! They are great!
    - Former Client
    "Andrew contacted me to discuss and followed through 100% on everything he said."
    Gave them all necessary info about my case using their website. Andrew contacted me to discuss and followed through 100% on everything he said. I did not have to personally appear in court. Andrew handled everything for me with the Traffic Court judge. Ticket I had was reduced to a small fine and no points on my license keeping my record clean and avoiding possible increased car insurance cost. Will recommend Andrew and his firm to any family members & friends in need of legal council.
    - Leonard M.
    "I would recommend David's services to anyone."
    I was recently represented by Mr. David Sachs. I found him to be very professional and competent. He showed great confidence in his ability to win my case. He made me feel at ease. And I would recommend his services to anyone. He is a great attorney!!!!!!!
    - David M.
    "She’s amazing!!!"
    Fenisha Williams handled my divorce and she did a phenomenal job! She was always reachable and most importantly always returned my calls. She’s very knowledgeable and was always trying to find the most reasonable solutions…Having her represent me definitely helped me calm down my anxieties. She’s amazing!!!
    - T.M.
    "They are winners!"
    The law firm and partners handled my case like pros. You see my overall rating of these men. I'm an excitable man I guess it was better not to inform me about some things so I didn't act out at the time they wanted me to stay calm. Outstanding, you go lawyers.
