I really appreciate his service and the firm.- Ricky C.

"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."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.

"With me every step of the way"Keith Brown and Andy Proto are bothe very caring, knowledgeable and attentive attorneys. They were with me every step of the way through a very tough child custody case. On first meeting, Keith told me we would come out victorious and he held true to that. Their strategy was explained clearly and decisively throughout and was available at any time to answer any questions or concerns I ever had. When it came down to crunch time, they worked countless hours even outside of their regular business hours to get the results we want ed and needed. I would recommend this firm and these attorneys to anyone in need.- Kara
