"The case was dismissed and now they have a loyal client (me) for life."

After about 8 months of being charged with DWI and after going back n forth in the court, I hired Russ as my previous attorney was not able to get any headway. The judge was very tough and wanted us to go to trial, which Russ was ready for and assured me to not loose faith in him as I was very nervous. I have to admit that the 6-7 month run with Russ was smooth, he always replied to my calls and texts promptly And moreover he made the judge repeal his own decision and got my case dismissed on Oct 31, 2016 Sahar Shams was also handling the matter and they together got the job done. The case was dismissed and now they have a loyal client (me) for life. These guys are rockstars or shall I say fearless beasts!! Thank you Russ & Sahar for all your help!!!

      "These guys are top notch, we were kept informed at every stage of the process ."

      We hired Russ Kofman when my uncle got arrested for domestic violence assault in kings county. My uncle could not work while the case was going on because he has a TLC license and we needed the case to be finished as quickly as possible. Russ got him out without bail when the prosecutor asked for $15,000 and then handled the case within a month. He got my uncle no criminal record, no jail and dealt with TLC so he could start working. These guys are top notch, we were kept informed at every stage of the process and always felt like we had the best representation money could buy.

      "This firm handled my case and everything was dismissed."

      This firm handled my case and Everything was dismissed. They were always there when I called and the service was better than expected. Very tough to handle your first attorney experience but these guys are on the ball.

      "It's always tough to write about people that were with you when things got tough, but Mr. Kofman was heaven-sent!"

      It's always tough to write about people that were with you when things got tough, but Mr. Kofman was heaven-sent! He literally held my hand and reassured me that if I needed him, he was there. Sadly I did need him, but thankfully, he was there to answer my calls at night and my issues in court. I hope that no one goes through what I experienced, but I highly recommend Russ to be by your side if it does.

      "The patience and persistence that they showed makes me believe anything is truly possible."

      Mr. Lebedin and Mr. Kofman were great! My case was no slam dunk before they came to the table. I had been through numerous attorneys until I got in contact with Lebedin/Kofman. My case was very unfortunate because I had no priors and a college degree with my entire future ahead of me. Before Lebedin/ Kofman came into the picture I was facing a misdemeanor and 6 years probation. With completely 0 chance of beating it. Once they came on board my probation was dropped in a plea deal, but Lebedin/ Kofman refused to stop fighting they wanted to get rid of the misdemeanor as well. Eventually, after only a few short weeks of fighting, they were able to get rid of every penalty I was facing. All in all, they saved my life because without them a life with a misdemeanor is no fun. Now I can pursue all of my dreams. My life isn't over. The patience and persistence that they showed makes me believe anything is truly possible if you stick to your guns and hold your own. Thanks guys for giving me a brighter tomorrow and a second chance at life.

      " It was a tremendous relief not to have the debt nor the stress of court proceedings. "

      We lost a business in 2015 but had a loan we were trying to pay off. I had worked out a payment plan with the creditor. After a year it became more difficult to continue payments. When I missed 2 payments the creditor submitted a lawsuit. I reached out to Lebedin and Kofman to help me respond to the court document. Stephanie, in turn, was able to get the debt settled for nearly 50% less and the case closed w/o prejudice in the court. It was a tremendous relief not to have the debt nor the stress of court procedings. Thank you all a Lebedin and Kofman!

      "He is very reliable, honest and the price is right! "

      "I love you guys and the front desk lady was very helpful. "

      Its been 10 years since my drivers license been revoked and I completely lost hope as far as driving. Years ago my name was used in a car accident that I had nothing to do with. I was being sued by an insurance company for a lot of money. One phone call to Lebedin and Kofman was a major change in my life. I explained my situation and they were able to give a good price set a payment plan which was comfortable to me and they go to work after the 1st payment. These guys rock within a month they were able to get the payments down from the company who took my license and now in a couple of weeks I'll be back on the road. I love you guys and the front desk lady was very helpful. God Bless All of you and Thanks Again. I will refer any to you that I know needs help. Thanks Again.

      "if you are feeling helpless and have been told no by other firms please don’t give up until you talk to Mr. Lebedin."

      Lebedin Kofman LLP The service I got from this Mr. Lebedin was wonderful. I had a very large wage garnishment and was told my other firms that there was nothing they could do to settle it. All I can say is if you are feeling helpless and have been told no by other firms please don’t give up until you talk to Mr. Lebedin. He and his associate Stephannie were so nice helping me and answering any questions I had I really knew they were working hard to get me help and they did. I got a wonderful settlement and the garnishment lifted. I am so happy I decided to give them a call or I would be paying that garnishment for many years. I can’t thank them enough. I would give a 100 stars. C.S.

      " My family and I are very thankful not only for the way Mr. Kofman handled the case but for answering any questions I had and for taking my calls. "

      I am happy and pleaseed with the service I received from Russ Kofman. My mom suffers from a mental disorder and had a case against her. And Mr. Kofman was not only able to get her out without bail but was able to bring the charge down and have the case dismissed. My family and I are very thankful not only for the way Mr. Kofman handled the case but for answering any questions I had and for taking my calls. Mr. Kofman kept my whole family at ease. He is also affordable. And if you can't pay in full, he will set payment plans for you. I know if I need him again I will be calling Russ Kofman. I highly recommend Mr. Kofman to anyone that may have legal issues.

      "Anyone who has been suffering from their private loans, please visit and talk to him without any hesitation- Big life saver at a very much reasonable price for young adults."

      This is my first time ever to write any review in any site, but I must do it this time. Right after I graduated from two universities, I had tons of student private loans to pay back. I've tried so hard to deal with the bank personally, but bankers forced me to pay in the full amount. This is the reason I contacted Lebedin Kofman, which was my best decision ever. I still have more loans to go, but for the very first loan with Sallie Mae (the most suborn and nagging bank), Arthur completed my case successfully and a week later it sold to third party and was reduced by 80%!!! I can't thank him enough and have a belief in him that he will do his best to give me a great deal for the rest of my loans. Thank you so much, Arthur! You are SUPERB!!! Anyone who has been suffering from their private loans, please visit and talk to him without any hesitation- Big life saver at a very much reasonable price for young adults. He is truly the best!

      " If I ever need legal assistance, I'll be contacting Arthur and Russ."

      Arthur and Russ were extremely helpful. Arthur was great with walking me through the process, following up with me and making sure I completed everything I needed to, when I needed to. Russ, on our initial consultation said he wanted to know that Lebedin Koffman was there to be my representation now and moving forward and that is exactly what will happen. If I ever need legal assistance, I'll be contacting Arthur and Russ.

      "I'm rarely over the moon for service I receive but they definitely have brought back the nostalgic person-to-person customer service we all so desperately seek these days."

      I'm rarely over the moon for service I receive but they definitely have brought back the nostalgic person-to-person customer service we all so desperately seek these days. I had a GREAT experience with this firm! They worked with me on payment, answered all communications quickly, and resolved the matter in half the time I was originally told. Best part was they were able to completely eliminate the judgement placed against me from a extremely small debt with my ex husband from 9 years ago! I called because when I actually tried to pay the settlement amount the creditor's attorney had sent me in a letter they refused to take the settled amount and the woman actually screamed at me on the phone. I immediately hung up and called Lebedin Kofman. They told me they work with that firm regularly and would no doubt handle it. They delivered on their promise.

      "My family and I owe Mr. Kofman way more than he charged which was extremely reasonable. "

      Some things are worth more than money. My family and I owe Mr. Kofman way more than he charged which was extremely reasonable. Everyone needs a lawyer that not only gets things done, but gets things done quickly. Thank you, Lebedin Kofman. Words can't express my gratitude.

      "He made the process easy, (on my part) and fast. Thank you!"

      I was lucky enough to work with Arthur Lebedin. My case was not a big one, but he was on top of it every day, pushing until we got out case settled, and I am very happy with the results. He made the process easy, (on my part) and fast. Thank you!

      "There's something to be said when a law firm steps up to the plate to help out us little guys & gals."

      Arthur Lebedin [who took my call personally] and his team were excellent, professional, expeditious, courteous and very reasonable with their fees/terms. They truly helped me settle with one of the WORSE management companies ever [Granite Rental NY] on resolving a HUGE debt along with my judgement from NYS tax & revenue. There's something to be said when a law firm steps up to the plate to help out us little guys & gals that are effected by the big corporation's stupid, greedy and irresponsible decisions that landed a lot of people in some really unfortunate financial situations by being let go or down-sized. Should I need help again - Lebedin Kofman will be my first call of defense. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

      "He kept us informed during the entire process. In the end, he negotiated with opposing lawyer to settle the debt for 60% discount with lump sum payment. "

      Arthur Lebedin and his law firm were very professional and resourceful in helping me to resolve my debt judgment case. I was very happy with the results and services. My spouse defaulted on a Citi credit card during financial crisis when she lost her job. A law firm Rubin & Rothman representing Citi filed a complaint regarding the debt. For over a year, we fought through several court motions and discoveries, unfortunately a summary judgment was granted. Unable to establish communication with the plaintiff or their lawyer, we contacted Lebedin Kofman law firm based on online searches and reviews. Arthur Lebedin was very quick to respond. During initial consultation, he listened to the background history and explained the steps that will be taken to resolve. He kept us informed during the entire process. In the end, he negotiated with opposing lawyer to settle the debt for 60% discount with lump sum payment. Now my spouse's credit is clean and in excellent state. Thank you Lebedin Kofman!

      " They hire enough people for super tailored service, things were already done before I even had to ask for them and the results were exactly what was promised."

      There is no question that you should hire these guys. I was looking around and questioning who what which lawyers, asking around friends and the usual. Found this firm on yelp, none of my friends used them but I went with it. You will get tailored services and wont think twice. They hire enough people for super tailored service, things were already done before i even had to ask for them and the results were exactly what was promised.

      "I felt I can trust, and rely on him throughout the process."

      Its hard to put into words the experience one goes through when it comes to family and broken laws. However in a time of panic and fear I can say a sense of tranquilty went through my mind after hiring Russ and his team to handle a case. Professional, focused, and sympathetic, i couldnt have asked for a better lawyer. I felt i can trust, and rely on him throught the process. And in the end couldnt have been happier with the outcome!! Highly recommended!!!!

      "Ms. Sahar worked on the case, she showed up to every single court date with 100% confidence and willingness to argue any false charges. "

      Definitely satisfied with our results with this firm. Went from a felony charge down to a simple violation in a matter of 2 court dates. Would recommend for anyone in New York! They answer phone calls like 95% of the time which is something I really like! Most of the time they will ask for your number and have someone call you back but usually you'll receive a phone call within the next 24 hours. Ms.Sahar worked on the case, she showed up to every single court date with 100% confidence and willingness to argue any false charges. Being that she's new at the firm (only been there for a couple months now) she's definitely dedicated to making good things happen for clients. **5 stars for her!!

      " I hired him to address one of the problems and his team was excellent. "

      "They got us exactly what they said they were hoping for from the beginning."

      After the arrest we had no idea what to do. We were lost and upset and needed someone comfortable with but who knew what they were doing. We decided to go with Lebiden Kofman after an initial consultation with Russ. He was upfront, honest, and told us everything to expect. We worked mostly with Russ and Sahar Shams over several months on our case. They were quick to respond, answer every single question we had, and never seemed like we were bothering them. They were through honest and extremely compassionate when dealing with our case. They got us exactly what they said they were hoping for from the beginning. We couldnt be happier with their service they provided us and would 100% recommend them to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney. Thank you again for all you did for us.

      "He really tailored the plan for me and gave me confidence that it would get resolved, which was a huge relief. "

      This is a spectacular law firm. Arthur met with me, learned about my situation, and laid out my options. He really tailored the plan for me and gave me confidence that it would get resolved, which was a huge relief. Esta is an amazing paralegal. She was direct and helpful, and always answered my follow-up questions. She really worked hard on my behalf. Kristin was also precise and timely with my documents. Overall I knew after my first meeting there that they would help solve my problem and they did.

      "All the felony and misdemeanor charges got dismissed and he basically got a disorderly conduct. "

      My brother hired Russ Kofman when he was charged with having a gun in JFK. Everyone said that he would have to do 2 years minimum on a gun case in Queens, but Russ kept fighting for him. After 6 months of coming back and forth to court, he got him a plea to a violation! All the felony and misdemeanor charges got dismissed and he basically got a disorderly conduct. No criminal record and no jail. This firm will keep fighting for you till the end.

      " They made me feel at ease and completely understood my situation since my case was actually something they have extensive experience with. "

      Great law firm that helped me reach a settlement when I was sued for defaulted student loan debt that I didn't even know about until I received the lawsuit papers! They made me feel at ease and completely understood my situation since my case was actually something they have extensive experience with. Pricing is fair and they are willing to work with you in terms of payment plans and offer great, free advice as well. Thanks Lebeden Kofman you were a great help!

      " My charges and case were dismissed, without my presence in court. "

      Early January of this year, I was charged with 2nd degree possession of a firearm in a school zone .https://www.scam.com/mugshots/thandiwe-victor-139­78678. I was facing mandatory minimum of 3.5 years, up to 15 years in prision. I felt doomed and pessimistic besides this new arrest I was on active probation and required to have no police contact. Russ Kofman asked me to be completely honest and detailed with him regarding the events leading to my arrest. He was compassionate, reasonable, honest, and answered all my questions and text messages . I have texted at 11:45 pm and 6:30 am and always got answered. My charges and case were dismissed, without my presence in court. Russ Kofman and his team at Lebedin/ Kofman LLP are amazing best law firm and attorneys in NYC .

      "No fees, loss of license or points! "

      I had a very dicey refusal that could have gone very badly. Russ was able to get me the best deal possible. He represented me at the DMV refusal hearing, and got it dropped entirely. No fees, loss of license or points! Additionally, in the criminal charges, he worked diligently for months and got that dropped to a violation. When I contacted Russ, I was looking at a very long term loss of my license and a permanent criminal record. But his knowledge of the law and hard work got me the best results imaginable. I would highly recommend him!

      "No hassle, they get in touch in a timely fashion and aren't a bunch of greed heads only concerned about the Almighty dollar. "

      Wonderful law firm if you're having trouble with your private student loan lender. Got a very good settlement offer & was treated with respect even though I am also an attorney. No hassle, they get in touch in a timely fashion and aren't a bunch of greed heads only concerned about the Almighty dollar. Highly recommended.

      "He explained me the process we had to go through and just said not to worry. "

      Russ Koffman was referred to me by my friend. From the first day we met I had many questions about my case and Russ was very patient to answer all of these questions. He explained me the process we had to go through and just said not to worry. I absolutely trusted him and never regretted, because I really got such a professional lawyer for my case.

      "We really appreciate what you did for us Russ and definitely recommend your firm to anyone."

      My husband found Russ online a couple of months ago. I was arrested when falsely accused of something by a patron at a restaurant. I was held at a precinct for questioning from 10:30pm until 5am when I found out I was being charged. Having no priors, someone versed in criminal law was not someone we had in our "rolodex"....my husband called several lawyers he found online at 5am. Russ was the first to call back (before 8am) and walked him through the realities of what to expect during the arraignment the following night (which he also attended at 8pm). He had me released without bail and worked with the DA to review tapes from the restaurant for almost 2 months. He took calls from me on the weekend and always immediately responded to emails, patiently answering all of my small and large questions. On my return to court, he arranged a private meeting with the DA for me to tell my side of the story - the case was dismissed and I was exonerated the same day. He even set me up with a lawyer to help me pursue a civil lawsuit for unlawful arrest. I will definitely be using Russ again to help me with a trademark and some design patents, but hopefully never again as a criminal lawyer. I read below about Arthur's GQ courtroom flair - they must shop at the same store! He also gets style points for his quadruple stock business cards :-). We really appreciate what you did for us Russ and definitely recommend your firm to anyone who is on the fence reading these reviews.

      "Russ was respectful of me, took the problem seriously, was readily available, and helpful. I recommend this firm highly."

      Always call a lawyer before speaking to the police! Russ Kofman really helped me out by putting a wall between myself and a detective because of some tweets that I allegedly made, of all things. Russ was respectful of me, took the problem seriously,was readily available, and helpful. I reccomend this firm highly. In the end my mind can rest at ease, you can't put a price on that.

      "Yes, I would recommend them in a heartbeat for anyone looking for assistance in debt collections. "

      Unfortunately, due to some poor business practices, I was stuck with a collection agency requesting payment for an overdue credit card bill. Arthur Lebedin to the rescue. I found them via Google and with the reviews posted there along with the fast response of the team, I chose them. They were responsive, patient and able to reduce my amount due significantly. Yes, I would recommend them in a heartbeat for anyone looking for assistance in debt collections. They're worth every penny.

      "I cannot thank them enough. I give them my absolute highest recommendation."

      If I could give more than 5 stars I absolutely would. My boyfriend had a situation with a summons that really could have been a big deal for his license/insurance etc. Of course he tells me about 5 days before he is due in court. With very little to go on I searched for lawyers in my area and was so ridiculously lucky to come across Russ Kofman. He called me back within two hours and debriefed me on what to expect. Paperwork was done in a flash and he and his team are amazing. They were able to get everything cleared with no marks on his record/license. I cannot thank them enough. I give them my absolute highest recommendation.

      "Russ got him out of jail quickly, without bail and communicated with the family through the the whole process. "

      A family member retained Russ Kofman when they were arrested for felony assault in Brooklyn. They alleged a broken Leg and hip and the guy was threatening to sue for damages. Russ got him out of jail quickly, without bail and communicated with the family through the the whole process. His investigator found the necessary witnesses to beat the case! After 2 months, Russ was able to get the felony and the misdemeanor charges dismissed and got him a plea to a disorderly conduct. I highly recommend Russ Kofman to anyone looking for a criminal defense lawyer. This was not an easy case and he handled it exceptionally well!

      "He was very knowledgeable about the type of case and what could be hoped for in terms of trying to get the charges reduced from misdemeanor to violation. "

      We needed legal representation in NYC after our son got into some trouble at a nightclub with an overly aggressive bouncer. Living on the west coast, we were worried about getting the best representation for his case, being so far away. We took the leap and called up Russ Kofman based on the high reviews we saw on Yelp. He was very knowledgeable about the type of case and what could be hoped for in terms of trying to get the charges reduced from misdemeanor to violation. Although the hearing date was over 2 months out, we did not hear from the DA until almost the day before the hearing which was frustrating but out of our control. We then were assigned to work with Sahar Shams, an Associate at the firm that did a great job with last minutes planning and communication with us. Sahar had worked in the DA's office and so had a great insider's view of how they work. She was able to negotiate with the DA office to get the charges reduced even further than he hoped down to an ACD with additional favorable conditions which was a great relief for our son and us. Thanks to Sahar and Russ for the great service. We highly recommend them and the firm!

      I was lucky enough to work with Arthur Lebedin. My case was not a big one, but he still was on top of it everyday pushing until we got our case settled and I am very happy with the results. He made the process easy, (on my part) and fast. Thank you!!

      " The firm handed my case and everything was dismissed. "

      Anyone in need- I would highly recommend working with Mr. Russ Kofman. The firm handed my case and everything was dismissed. Russ took care of every detail, highly professional, communicative and resolved my case quickly. Thank you so much!!

      " I recommend him to anyone who needs legal help."

      Rus Kofman and his firm has helped me and many others that I referred. I got in trouble and found him through a friend. Not only was he affordable but he is VERY always around. I felt as if he was with me the ENTIRE time and not just in it to get paid like soo many other attorneys i spoke with. We spoke few times a day and he made me feel very secure. Rus beat my case and turned my felony charge into a violation. I recommend him to anyone who needs legal help.

      " Arthur treated me with great respect regardless, got back to me immediately every time, put up with my dumb questions and answered them all with patience."

      I worked with Arthur too. My case was small potatoes but Arthur treated me with great respect regardless, got back to me immediately every time, put up with my dumb questions and answered them all with patience, and gave me confidence during a pretty rough time. This is the second time in my life that I'm happy to say that I love my lawyers because they saved my life and you won't hear any nasty lawyer cracks from me. At their best, they lead you through a period of duress and adversity, and help you over-come the situation. That's the case with Arthur, and I especially appreciated him showing up looking more dapper, polished and professional than any other lawyer in the room. The DFWM suit. He may look GQ but he's an activist at heart, as well as funny and personable.
