“In February of 2012 I was charged with Aggravated DWI, DWI, Possession of Marijuana and driving the wrong way on a one way street in Nassau County. As this was my not first arrest, I was very nervous about possibly losing my apartment, employment, and car. I found Spector and 2 other Attorneys on this very site. After meeting with the Attorneys individually to see who would best suit me, I chose Mr. Spector. I was impressed with his; knowledge of the law, history as a prosecutor, confidence in his ability, how he seemed to have an open mind and his down to earth demeanor (which I find is UN-common with Attorneys). Mr. Spector and I sat for a cup of coffee and I explained the sequence of events that lead to my arrest.
Long story short a group of friends and I went for a night on the town, I did have plenty of drinks but also had a designated driver. My friend (the designated driver) crashed my vehicle into a Tractor Trailer Truck, and then fled the scene. The officer arrived and I explained what happened but he didn’t believe me, the officer placed me under arrest saying “it’s your car and you’re the only one here so…”
Carl and I went back and forth to court several times, he was persistent in arranging a “Proffer Session” so that I can sit with the District Attorney and share my version of events in hope of getting a dismissal. The DA sat with me but did not believe me.
We eventually went to trial in October 2013 (I was unwilling to accept any offer of a lesser offense) Mr. Spector maintained his confidence and began to work his magic. The DA called the Truck Driver as their star witness, the ADA that was trying the case made several attempts to “direct” the witness to identify me, all met with a timely “objection” by Mr. Spector. The People rested their case and the judge asked if Mr. Spector had any questions, Spector asked for a 5 minute break so him and I could speak (Carl is very informative), he suggested that we NOT ask the driver any questions, which seemed weird to me at first but after Spector explained the benefits of such an action I was all for it. We asked no questions of him, he left the courtroom then Mr. Spector immediately requested a MOTION TO DISMISS, because the driver did not directly identify me. The judge sent us all to lunch. After the longest 2 hours in my life, the judge came back and GRANTED THE DISMISSAL!!
Spector’s knowledge of the Law proved to be one of our greatest assets. I am eternally grateful to Carl and his service, he’s an incredible Attorney and I highly recommend him!!! Of course I could go on and on about how appreciative I am of him but I think you all get the picture. To anyone considering an Attorney.”
