"The #1 Criminal Defense Attorney You Want on Your Side"
Jay Carr is the #1 criminal defense attorney you want on your side! I hired him for a class B misdemeanor and he fought incredibly hard for my case! It was a long waiting game through the court process but in the end Jay was always there- for any question! And the office is always super responsive! Jay will make sure your RIGHTS are fought for and protected inside and out of the court room. He will find anything that is wrong in your discovery evidence and make NOTE of it to prosecution. Jay Carr was well worth every penny paid!
"Excellent Attorney – Professional, Timely, No Hassle"
Excellent attorney!! I had the pleasure of retaining Mike throughout my court cases, and he handled my cases in a timely fashion, without any hassle, and VERY professionally. He's definitely an attorney that I would recommend, to handle your court case in Family Court!! Mr. Saglimben got right to the point, and did what he said he was going to do, WITHOUT THE HASSLE!!! Mike's office returned any calls I had, answered any questions, and eased my mind, about the case, before, DURING, and AFTER my case was over.
"Excellent Job for Custody and Legal Issues at a Fair Price"
I have used this law firm for both custody and regular legal issues. My custody case was handeled by Mike Saglimben. He did a excellent job at a fair reasonable price for a very heated battle. we first dealt with it in pennslyvania while we lived there. Mike then repersented me when my two children moved to New York. Jay I used for a simple traffic ticket infraction and everything was resolved quickily with no problems. I would highly recomend the two hard working dedicated lawyers.
"He Fought Hard – My Mother's Retirement Is Now Secure"
Mike Saglimben handled my mother's divorce case. She was awarded permanent alimony, $80,000 life insurance policy, house to live in, and assets divided up. Mike fought hard to take care of my mother like it was his own. It can be a very emotional process to go through and understand. The way the court system functions is confusing and stressful. Mike was there every step of the way trying to help us understand this process. Picking a divorce lawyer can be hard and choosing the wrong one can send your life down a rough road.
"Got Me Full Custody – Flexible Payment Plan Available"
Mike is an awesome laywer!!! He respesented me in a custody case and got me full custody of my daughter. He was able to work out a payment plan with me that worked best for me! I seen prior reviews about returning phone calls. , Well sometimes I had to wait for phone calls but that's part of life considering these lawyers are extremely busy doing lots of phone calls paper work and ect for your case!! Would not choose another lawyer for my case!
Also have had some free consultations with Jay the other attorney.
"Kept Me Well Informed Through Multiple Custody Cases"
Great Law Firm!! Mike represented me numerous of times for custody cases. As uncomfortable as it is to go to court and fight for what's right for your child, He always kept me well informed on what to expect with each trial. I would highly recommend this law firm to anyone!

Excellent attorney!! A friend of mine had him through a messy child support/child custody case. Mr. Saglimben represented my friend, in BOTH cases, to where my friend ALMOST lost hope in the system.
