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 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

He held my hand through this horrible ordeal. Pricing was fair and they worked with me and my horrible financial situation as most of my assets were in limbo at family court. Mr. Proto won my case and now I am vindicated of those horrible and untrue charges! Proto and Sachs got to the bottom of the nonsense and gave ME AND MY SON OUR LIVES BACK! Thank you so much Mr. Andrew Proto Please.. Please.... If you have any type of litigation you BETTER call Proto, Sachs & Brown, LLP!- Thomas J.

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.- Former Client

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.- Former Client
