Excellent lawyer! Did not have to worry about a thing. Sabrina marks her word. She is very professional, knowledgeable, consistent, and honest. I was a victim of an impaired driver and I wouldn't had made it without the law offices of Sabrina Puglisi.

Sabrina Puglisi is what every lawyer should shrive to be for their clients. She is professional, thorough, knowledgeable, and is not afraid to put in the work necessary to get the job done and get the job done she does. She cares about her clients, keeps you informed every step of the way and doesn't waste time getting to work for you. She gives you the attention you need and never makes you feel like your time or case is not valuable or important. If you want a lawyer that is about doing the best job possible for you look no further than Sabrina Puglisi. She is a master of her profession and takes pride in her work. I have gone through many lawyers and no one has been able to do what took her 2 weeks to do for my fiancé. Best lawyer in South Florida by far.

But sabrina refuse to refund my son at least some of the payment back meanwhile she never filed a notice appearance on his behalf...

During a long and difficult task spading over two years, Mr. Robert G. Amsel's as our son's defense attorney conducted himself with the highest level of professionalism, dedication to duty, knowledge, depth of experience, and conviction. His years of experience, skills, wisdom, and wise counsel t o our family during these two plus years is greatly appreciated and we will always be indebted to Mr. Amsel's for his devotion to our son as his client. During the two years plus, there were several challenges and court appearances; in each and every challenge and court appearance, Mr. Amsel's delivered victory after victory and brought closure to a very difficult situation. As I look back and asses the sequence of events, the challenges, the victories, and the outcome, I could not have asked for a better outcome. In an era, where many attorneys are viewed in a different light, Mr. Amsel's worked and dedicated himself to upholding the highest level in his profession as he went about his work, this reflects great credit upon Mr. Amsel's and his profession as a criminal defense attorney. I would highly recommend Mr. Robert G. Amsel's to anyone who may require a defense attorney.
- ★★★★★Attorney Robert Amsel Review
anonymous · litigation ·
Mr. Amsel was the attorney who handled my case and he far exceeded my expectations. Mr. Amsel was always readily available when needed, responding to phone calls and e-mails the same day. He was very patient in answering all questions and accommodating my schedule in regards to meetings and court dat es. His presence in the courtroom is profound and it was always very evident in our encounters that he is highly respected by both his colleagues and other clients. Mr. Amsel really goes the extra mile and does not hesitate to be extremely proactive to ensure the most optimal outcome. My wife and I couldn't have been happier with having Mr. Amsel represent me. I would highly recommend him for any legal proceedings.

When you select Robert Amsel as your attorney, you can assured that your case is in the most capable hands. Not only is Mr. Amsel a top notch attorney but he has an entire staff behind him making sure your case is properly handled. Never once did I feel as if I had to follow up on my case to make sure it was moving forward. In fact, many times it was Mr. Amsel’s office following up with me to make sure I had received the most recent notice. Any questions presented to him were responded to very quickly. When it comes time for trial, Mr. Amsel has only won cases for me. No one likes to have to go to court but having Robert Amsel as your attorney you can rest assured you have one of the best defense attorneys at your side.
- ★★★★★Great Attorney
Ismael · criminal defense ·
Robert Amsel represented me in a federal drug case. He was with me from indictment to post-incarceration and I can honestly say he did everything possible to help me in every way. My case was a relatively simple open and shut case, and yet he still went above and beyond to seek a better outcome for me. I was completely satisfied with the details he found in his research, and with the way he presented them in court. He also did a great job of presenting me as a person, along with all the mitigating circumstances, during my sentencing which ended up helping a lot. He was also there for me while I was in the county jail and could contact very few people. After my incarceration, he continued to help me in many ways, even though my fee technically only covered everything up until my sentencing. I would greatly recommend Mr. Amsel to anyone facing a criminal charge. He is friendly, easy to talk to, and takes your opinions and concerns into account when he is working, instead of just running your case his way. 5 stars all the way.
- ★★★★★An oustanding criminal lawyer!
Rey · criminal defense ·
I highly recommend Robert Amsel as an oustanding criminal defense attorney. He represented me in an unfortuante situation I found myself in with serious charges. As a result of his oustanding representation I was cleared of all charges. His credibility in the courtroom is evident by the respect he re ceives from the lawyers and judges. I always felt at ease and confident the minute he walked into the courtroom because he was always so well prepared and such an effective an outstanding advocae. I will always be so grateful not just for his legal representation but for the support he provided me during this difficult time. I highly recommend Robert as the best criminal defense attorney in our community.

Robert · criminal defense ·
I had the unfortunate experience of being stopped after a cruise and was falsely accused of a crime I know I did not commit. After having the unpleasant stay at the county jail for 2 nights and having my first court appearance with a public defender, I was told I was looking at a 15 year mandatory se ntence. Although I was confident I would beat the charges against me, I felt the need to seek out a good legal defense team to secure my freedom from any unjust sentence. After doing my research, I found the Law Offices of Scott Kotler, and boy did he deliver for me! He reached out to the prosecutor to figure out what, if any charges they were going to move forward with and file against me. All my charges were eventually dropped and I was able to expeditiously move on with my life. Scott and assistant Jennifer were very attentive to all my needs & requests and was more than fair before, during and after my case was resolved. I couldn’t be more satisfied and grateful for the job Scott did for me, do not hesitate to call him for a free consultation if you get in trouble! He’ll treat you fair and is honest about what he can provide. Hope I never need his services again but if I do I will not hesitate to call. Thanks again Scott for everything you did for me!
- ★★★★★Скотт подготовил настолько мощную защиту, что прокурор сам ПОЛНОСТЬЮ СНЯЛ обвинение без единого слушания в нашем сложном DUI
Anastasiia · criminal defense ·
За 6 месяцев наш предыдущий адвокат не добился никакого прогресса, начал настаивать на признании вины и смягчении обвинения и так мы оказались на консультации у Скотта. Разочарованные, очень скептично настроенные с полным недоверием. После неудачного опыта мы уже знали на что обращать внимание, после первых 5 минут на бесплатной консультации поняли, что мы будем работать со Скоттом 100% и увидели как на самом деле действуют защитники. К нашей встрече Скотт отсмотрел около 5 часов записей с нагрудных камер полицейских (не попросив никаких доплат), на самой встрече задал несколько уточняющих вопросов и чуквально через 10 минут сразу составил стратегию защиты, и не просто ее рассказал в деталях, но и объяснил юридические основания, почему это сработает в нашем случае. До этого мы слышали от адвокатов стандартные объяснения, что стратегия защиты - это их интеллектуальный труд, и они не хотят раскрывать свои секретные техники, как будут нас защищать. Вот этот принцип полной прозрачности - это супер изюминка Скотта. Нам никогда не приходилось писать и ‘напоминать о себе’. Скотт сам регулярно писал о ходе дела, и это были не просто формальные отписки, это - огромные сообщения, с которых подробно объясняется, что, как и почему. Скотт может писать вам в 5 утра просто поделиться своей новой мыслью относительно дела и спросить что вы думаете. В этих переписках мы находили такие мелочи, которые никогда не затронешь в формальном разговоре, но которые критически влияют на ход дела. Скотт Великолепен. Если он готов взять вас в работу - не спите. Вы получите человека, который будет максимально вовлечен в ваше дело, который будет копать, который будет спорить с прокурорами. Наше дело все называли сложным, потому что из за самого факта открытого дела со муж находился в имиграционной тюрьме. Он не мог присутствовать нигде, а суд пользовала этим и затягивал дело. Скотт нашел нам экспертов, которые провели экспертизы и дали заключения. И именно это сделало наши доказательства железобетонными и заставило прокурора снять обвинение и прекратить дело. И если бы не Скотт и его стратегия, мы бы бегали по замкнутому кругу, когда криминальный суд требует личного присутствия, а ice отклоняет запросы. Если Скотт готов работать с вами, благодарите его, делайте все, что он говорит и наблюдайте, как человек с горящими глазами раьотает над вашим делом и творит магию

Victor · employment law ·
Had a legal issue with Miami-dade and royal carribean while getting off a cruise ship where I was racially profiled and they targeted me. Scott and Jennifer made sure that I was properly taken care of. He would respond 24/7 anytime almost like he doesn't take holidays. They shortened the length of th e battle in a favourable outcome for me which as a non US citizen is a loss for Miami dade. I would strongly suggest using him in the future and will keep his contact just in case. Best lawyers in Florida

Grigory · dui ·
У меня было обвинение по DUI, благодаря которому я несколько месяцев сидел в immigration detention. Сейчас обвинение снято еще до суда благодаря Скотту. Я уже терял всякие надежды так как мой предыдущий адвокат предлагал сделку guilty plea. Но тут моя семья нашла Скотта. Он понравился нам с перво й минуты. Не взяв никакой предоплаты он отсмотрел кучу видео с нагрудных камер, реально разобрался в кейсе, рассказал какие у меня реально есть шансы и мы поняли, что надежда все-таки есть. В отличии от других адвокатов, Скотт не пропадет сразу после получения оплаты. Весь кейс он всегда был на связи, он не обложился паралигалами, помощниками и тд и сам всегда погружен в кейс. Он внимательно выслушал что же на самом деле произошло и предложил неординарные решение. В результате, case dismissed еще до суда. Спасибо большое Скотту и его команде! Такими должны быть настоящие авдвокаты. Храни его Господь!

Best Decision I made was to pick Scott. After consulting many attorneys, I picked him because his practice is founded on real collaboration with the client from beginning to end, rather than utilize scare tactics to onboard his firm. He really cares about his clients, treats the process with exce llent precision and best outcome. You can trust your life with this attorney.
