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.

"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

He helped me on my DWI case in Harrison New York so much. All the other lawyers I spoke to were doom and gloom. Andrew told me everything I needed to know about my case and was very aggressive against the DA. I was so comfortable in court with him. The best part was anytime I needed to speak with him he was available and always offered to answer my questions even on weekends. Thanks to him and his office for the help!!!- Former Client

"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
