"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."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.

"I was lucky to have such an open and compassionate lawyer."The firm was a big help in my DWI case in White Plains. We appeared in Court together and they always took time to explain my case and all of my options. My lawyer even gave me his e-mail address and responded to my questions on weekends. I was lucky to have such an open and compassionate lawyer. I didn't know my lawyer from anyone when I found him on the internet but now I feel comfortable calling him anytime. He also helped me with my child custody issues that keep coming up. I would recommend you call him with any questions.- Former Client

"David gave me the feeling that I was going to be well protected in my trumped up, ridiculously racist criminal charges against me."After talking to a couple of other area lawyers, this firm seemed more aggressive. I met with David Sachs at my first meeting and he gave me the feeling that I was going to be well protected in my trumped up, ridiculously racist criminal charges against me. Money well spent. David was fantastic. He was able to have my case dismissed by filing legal papers with a court appearance with testimony (not a trial). Judge agreed with his legal opinion and dismissed my case. I can't thank him enough. Also, on one court date lawyer Andrew Proto from the firm appeared on my case which was fine, because I did hire the firm, but what was exceptional about it was that he knew my case just as well as David. In my view, this firm is top notch.- Darius L.

"He defended me successfully and I was found not guilty. I am grateful to Andrew for seeking and defending justice."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
