Kimberly really cares about her clients. She represented me on a DWI case and she really knows her stuff. She was right on everything she told me to expect and made the nightmare a lot easier. She is so reasonable and will really listen. I strongly recomend her.

Ms. Lerner handled my situation with such compassion. She is so smart and well respected in the courts. She was able to show the DA the situation without going to trial and my case was dismissed. She does not give up.

Kim is a sweetheart . She represented me last year for dwi. She told me what to do. Guided me every step of the way. She's very caring and understanding. Always returned my calls and answered all my questions promptly . I was tight on money but she was very patient and never gave up on me. She's a great lawyer and fought for me until I got the lowest penalty. She's extremely informative, reliable and respectful . I would definitely refer Kim to anyone in need of legal help.

Kimberly Lerner is above and beyond what anyone can hope for when it comes to a criminal defense attorney. Originally, I was faced with a DWI charge and another misdemeanor charge which really seemed like an uphill battle to me. Me graduating college next month, I was very afraid of the outcome that I would possibly get a criminal record, be put on probation, and have the rest of my twenties ruined and have difficulty in finding employment in the future for the rest of life with a criminal conviction. I contacted Kimberly several days after I was arraigned and met her and her father (they are partners at the firm) where they provided me a free consultation. Kimberly told me she thought I could get my DWI reduced and and the other charge dismissed or reduced. I was skeptical, but I hired her because I thought she was my best shot at getting out of this alive without a criminal record. She did just that. Months passed with the courts, but at the end of the day in the end, I ended up with no criminal record, the DWI charge reduced and other charge eliminated completely!! This lawyer cares about you, sees you as a person and not just another client, and goes above and beyond to take care of you to protect your future. I am truly amazed and forever grateful that I now have my life back, court is resolved and I will never have to worry about charges again. DWI in Nassau County is an extremely difficult area to practice, and your outcome will vary based on various factors in your case, however I can say confidently hands down that this is the best attorney you can ever hire for your money and be confident with the outcome of your case. I cannot be any more grateful for the outcome of my case and how great her and her father are when it comes to defending you. There is simply no one else to trust with DWI or other criminal charges in Nassau County than this attorney. Thank You Ms.Lerner for getting me my life back.

While going through documents/paperwork preparing for a court date the following day, it had come to my attention that there were dates that did not overlap; in essence meant that my situation became significantly more serious and had not yet arranged for an attorney. A few people had pointed me to Kim and honestly... it was such a relief once we were in contact. Professional and knowledgeable, she dissected the situation and researched everything she needed in a matter of minutes. Within an hr after my initial call, she was my representative. **In this case, it happened to work in my favor that her client and myself had the same court appearance... Had he not she wouldn’t have been able to represent me** The outcome was worth it - definitely saved money in the long run by hiring an attorney. Kim was patient/understanding and easy to work with.

Kimberly Lerner is an excellent lawyer. She is well respected in the courts and knows the das and judges. She always returns calls and knows the law. She does not judge you and does not get angry if you ask the same question a ton of times. The law is messed up and confusing and she really explains it well. I am so lucky that I found her. If you are unlucky and get locked up she is the only one to go to.
