The best lawyer

I was charged with multiple felonies in Middlesex County. It seemed like the prosecutor’s office thought I was public enemy number one. I interviewed four lawyers before I decided to hire Mr. Schwartz. It was the best decision I could have made. He worked incredibly hard, always followed up me, and approached my problem in such a different way than the other lawyers. David’s presence in court was totally professional, and you could tell that the judge was highly respectful of David. The best thing was when the prosecutor put the so-called victim on the witness stand. In a single word, I can say that David’s cross examination destroyed this person. It was a beautiful thing to watch. Justice done in real time before my eyes.

“I hired Ms. Posnock for 2 cases this year with Hit and run(with 5 other traffic offenses) and Careless driving. All charges were dismissed and I am very happy with the outcome. She is extremely skilled lawyer and I would recommend her to anyone. She is a true expert and I’m thankful for all her support throughout the entire process.”

        – Karson

The best representation

I was under federal investigation for very serious crimes relating to bank loans and mortgages. I was facing lengthy prison time and fines that would have taken every penny that I was able to earn over 24 years of hard work. I was looking at losing my children and my business. I went through two lawyers before I found Mr. Schwartz. In all honesty, I feel that Mr. Schwartz saved my life. He had in depth knowledge of the law and he was able to unwind the financial transactions that showed that the government was led down the wrong path by its informants. Mr. Schwartz was trusted as an honest advocate by the lawyers for the Justice Department. I was an emotional wreck when I first came to his office. He was a leader, he reassured me and he gave me the confidence to hang in there to see this terrible situation through to a new lease on life. I highly, highly recommend Mr. Schwartz to any one who finds themselves in deep trouble.

        – Client

From our first conversation, it was clear that Leslie knew what she was well-spoken, knowledgeable and professional. She set realistic expectations for my outcome that we were able to exceed. Her attention to detail required the prosecutor to do his job and check all boxes, some I didn’t even know existed. The prosecutor ultimately unable to do his job, I got an acquittal, and have Leslie to thank for it.
