I will definitely hire Mr. Andrew for another situation if I come across one. And I must add in, Mr. Andrew and his team are not after your money; they really are here to help. Thank you, Mr. Andrew.

He got my case completely dropped
Andrew, I can’t thank you enough! Mr. Proto is by far the best attorney I have ever met. He handled my DWI case very well as he displayed professionalism and efficiency. He presented me with options and offered solutions and advice. Most importantly, however, at the end he got my case completely dropped into a traffic infraction in the court, which is truly brilliant considering my situation. I highly recommend Mr. Proto as he is an amazing attorney. He works with you, he also responded to all my emails immediately and kept updating me on my case. I’m referring him to all my friends and family. Thank you so much for everything!
Sorimery Contreras
If you want someone who will stand by you
I spoke with a few lawyers before finding Dave (David R. Sachs), and there was a clear distinction between him and the others: patience. The other attorneys I consulted with were quick to interrupt, assumed they knew my situation before I could explain important details, and often gave me negative expectations right away.
Dave was different. He truly listened, never rushed me, and most importantly, he made me feel understood. Throughout the process, he was confident, empathetic, and made me feel like I was in safe hands no matter what challenges came up.
What stood out most was that Dave wasn’t just professional — he was approachable and kind. He took my panicked phone calls, answered questions with care, and made me feel supported at every step.
If you want just a lawyer, you can call anyone. But if you want someone who will stand by you, listen, and fight for the best outcome with integrity, call David R. Sachs. There is no one else I will turn to for anything family law related.
Thank you, Dave!
Angelique Familia

Case DismissedCourt Dismisses Alleged Violation of Conditional Discharge in Westchester County
After a full hearing, a local Westchester County court dismissed a violation of conditional discharge that had been brought by the District Attorney’s Office. The client had previously pled to a Driving While Ability Impaired (DWAI) charge and was later rearrested for Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) in another state.
Attorney review showed that the out-of-state case was ultimately resolved without a criminal conviction. Based on that outcome, the judge agreed that the client had not violated the original conditional discharge, resulting in the case being dismissed in full.
