So i recently had a Foodstamps fraud case, and after trying to get services from a local bar association I wasn’t too happy with no results. I did research online and I was looking for a specific lawyer for my case and came across JP. I immediately contacted the number on file and Joseph answered. Joseph was very knowledgeable about the process and made me very comfortable with his answers. I honestly didn’t think twice about hiring him to represent me in my case. Salina his assistant is also very knowledgeable and helpful. She answered my questions rapidly. I met Joseph in person the next day and my case was settled in less then a month. I truly recommend him for any criminal cases. He sure is very knowledgeable with these procedures and will get the job done instantly.

This firm helped me out of a major jam I was afraid there was no way out of. Thanks to them I've got a second chance at life I may otherwise have never had. I've learned my lesson hard and am forever grateful to Mr.Potashnik and his great firm. Truly empathetic, helpful and professional beyond words. If you're in need of criminal defense lawyers don't think twice! Their hard work and you're freedom is worth every penny. Talk to them before calling anyone else. You won't regret it! -Osvaldo

Absolutely the best! Saved my license and my livelihood! Don't even think of any one else. I had retained another lawyer at first, I was told that I will probably have to surrender my license. Then I retained Joseph. Best move I have done in years. I'm serious guys! He's really really amazing!

This is an honest review for Joseph who saved my life as an excellent defense lawyer who knows his stuff!
He is not only extremely knowledgeable about the endless detours of defense law, but makes sure to prioritize the facts and details of your situation. Why is this important? In real-time, court has so many unexpected moments, but with an attorney like Joseph...It didn't matter because he was ready to activate and HE DID! Thank you so much for having amazing talent!

Mr. Potashnik is very knowledgeable, professional and straight forward. I appreciated his honesty, time and insight on my situation. He took his time to explain everything making me better instead of adding more worry. Everyone in his office was pleasant and very helpful. He knows his stuff!!! I highly recommend him!!!

Apparently all his negative reviews are fake, but only positive ones are real, but somehow ones that have written a review haven't reviewed any other place. I was his customer. He did nothing but l lying to me from the day one. First he seems very reliable but once he gets his money he'll never talks to you again. Give vague answers so you end up doing your own research and find out he isn't telling the truth. Therefore you play cat and mouse game until you make enough calls so he can charge for your entire retainer fee. Do yourself a favor and avoid his office.
Can't wait to report him to grievance committee.

Beware! Joseph is among the wolves in sheep’s Clothing in the legal profession, masquerading as an advocate ( ie a good attorney). He is condescending and patronizing and preys upon the clients who come to him in desperation and urgency, particularly those he deems unlearned and ignorant of the law. Prior to getting his retainer he is empathic, experienced and well connected, claiming to be in with whomever you may need on your side to have a favorable outcome to your case. Unfortunately, once he receives his retainer, ( incidentally not in line with standard fees for the service rendered) he does not proceed professionally nor is he an advocate for the client once retained unless he sees the client as a lucrative asset. As a client without means you may not receive any record of his court filings, timely updates so that you are prepared for fines or being detained or arrested, or receipts for his activities detailing his retainer fee. In addition any legal intervention he assures you he will take on your behalf is shrouded, unclear and most likely haphazardly done so that timely updates and having a sense of advocacy and peace of mind are denied. At this point he will quote his real fee for actually handling your case, which will be out of your range of immediate affordability. Since he does not have any incremental payment plan, he will feign concern by informing you that a public defender will be made available through the courts, since he has completed his work on your case. ( not what you were led to believe he was retained to do unfortunately!) In short, list him among the predators of the poor and marginalized and remember to report your concerns to the American Bar Association regarding any legal counsel who fails to adequately represent you and above all Do not retain Joseph Potashnik!!!

Mr. Potashnik is very knowledgeable in dealing with healthcare related cases. From the first meeting he knew exactly how to tackle the case and gave a very informative and detailed plan of action of how the case will enfold and the outcome we were striving for. He was always available and supportive throughout the whole process, taking away the worries of an already stressful situation. He was very patient with me and addressed all of my questions and concerns in great detail. The end result was better than I expected. I owe it all to Mr. Potashnik. I definitely recommend him!

I received a letter from the IRS asking me to appear at an interview and bring along some documents. I tried hard but I couldn’t think of any reason why I got the letter, but to be on the safe side I called Joseph Potashnik and Associates. Mr Potashnik immediately told me not to speak to the investigators and not to go to the interview and we scheduled a meeting for the next day. It turned out the most probable reason for the investigation was that my boyfriend moved in a few months ago, and he had been renting out his apartment the whole time. We both were facing potential penalties. Mr Potashnik himself got back to the IRS right away and started working on the case. As a result no charges were filed and we reached an administrative settlement by repaying the taxes.

I am a surgeon at a Brooklyn hospital with over 20 years of experience, and I was facing disciplinary hearings. Long story short, I feared the issue was serious enough to make me lose my license for good. So naturally I decided to hire a lawyer. After some shopping around I came across this firm’s website. I called them, and Mr Potashnik himself picked up the phone. The next day we met to discuss the case, Mr Potashnik explained the probable outcomes to me, and I knew I was in good hands. The attorney accompanied me to the formal hearing, negotiation and settlement, and was always well-prepared for these meetings. I got away with some administrative penalties, but anyway I kept my job and my license. Joseph Potashnik is the lawyer who knows everything about the licensing authority procedures, you can trust your case to him without any second thoughts.

I retained this firm to handle an investigation by the SEC for me. It took a month to these lawyers to resolve my case, which I guess is pretty fast. Mr Potashnik was always professional and helpful. He was also very knowledgeable about the investment processes and procedures and well aware of how the whole industry works. I strongly recommend this attorney to anyone who has problems with the SEC, this guy knows his job.

I called Mr Potashnik’s firm when one day my husband didn’t come home after visiting the local immigration officer and called me to tell he would probably be deported. The thing is he had a charge on his criminal record years ago, he got his punishment, and we forgot about it. But somehow it came up now, when he got married, we had two babies, were about to buy a house and well... were having a life. We were fortunate that Mr Potashnik himself took our case and intervened early enough to turn the tide. It is such a relief! Thank you Joseph once again, I owe you my life!

I rarely write reviews but I felt the need to leave a review for Mr Potashnik, he took the time to talk to me over the phone for what seems like an hour and even met with me in person at his office, not only was he helpful he was very informative, well spoken, and made me truly feel like he wanted to help.. I cant say enough good things about him.. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone who needs help with a criminal case in NY

Thank You

I had a medicaid fraud case, and I did research online and decided to use JP as my representative to deal with this case. It was hassle free. Case resolved in a month. Everyone in the law firm are very knowledgeable and responsible. I personally dealt with the paralegal alot. She is beyond helpful and explained things very patiently and clearly. I will strongly recommend this firm. They charge consultation fee, however, if you decide to use them at the end, they will include the consultation fee in the flat rate they quote u. You got what you paid for, and I am happy with my service. Thank you JP, and everyone in the office.

I was looking for a criminal attorney to consult with about a very delicate situation. I actually called several attorneys before I found Joseph on Google and was impressed by all the good reviews. The lawyers I spoke with weren't really interested in hearing me out unless I went in but when I called Joseph potashnik, his staff were very patient and helpful on the phone. Salina was very assuring and professional. Later I met with Joseph who was extremely helpful. He explained how we could solve my problem in a very short time and without spending too much money. This is exactly what happened in the end. I am very grateful for the peace of mind Joseph gave me.

Highly recommended. I'm very happy with the outcome of my case. Mr Potashnik is honest, reliable, very knowledgeable about the legal system, and always easy to reach whenever I had questions about the case. Peace of mind he gave me is just priceless.

I'm a small health care practice owner. My business was audited by Medicaid and I didn't know any lawyers who handled such cases so I went on Google and found Joseph's reviews, and decided to call. It was a good decision - Joseph explained how we were going to defend and use the statistician who works with him and in the end, the audit findings were mostly reversed, we settled for the fraction of what Medicaid was asking. I highly recommend this firm!

I used Joseph to go over some business purchase contracts. I came in nervous, left at ease. Joe is really easy to talk to, and will inevitably make you feel calm about a stressful situation. I plan on using him again for corporate compliance, when the time comes.

Horrible Horrible Horrible. Do not recommend anyone to do any type of business with him. Very unprofessional and lies. He is out only to get your money and cares very little about ur situation. Also pays people to write good reviews for him.

I needed a lawyer when I was accused of drug diversion (which wasn't true) and my nursing license was in jeopardy. I found Joseph on google and decided to work with him. In 3 months time the case was dismissed and I move on with my life. I can't thank you guys enough.

I got to know Attorney Potashnik earlier this year when a family member was arrested for fraud. We initially hired another attorney to work on the case but after four months of going back to court, we were not satisfied at all. I went back to the Internet and Attorney Potashnik's video came up. I watched the video and it was right to the point, so I realized that he knew what he was talking about. I researched his website and read reviews on him and decided to call. The next day we met with Mr. Potashnik and his assistant and we were impressed, so we decided to hire him to handle the case. Almost immediately, things started to work out. My nephew was originally charged with a felony and Mr. Potashnik brought the charges down so that in the end the case was closed and my nephew didn’t have a record. I am so glad to have met Mr. Potashnik. I definitely recommend attorney Potashnik to anyone who needs a criminal lawyer.

Mr. Joseph Potashnik is an unethical attorney, who's only out to get you money. I have had a horrible experience with, where he charged a ridiculous fee upfront, and was unable to properly represent, and was not willing to put an effort to do so. Do not waste your time going to this guy, he's a crook, your money is better spent somewhere else. AVOID!

This was the first time in my life I needed a lawyer. My husband and I were investigated for fraud we felt we did not commit. I was at loss where to begin looking for a lawyer and it was very uncomfortable to ask friends and family, so I turned to the Internet. We did some research online and found a few lawyers who seemed to handle cases like ours. We interviewed some lawyers, but he was different and it was so clear . He was up front and honest, no sugar coating and no scare tactic used by other lawyers. We felt comfortable with him right away.

From the time we first spoke on the phone until the end of the case he and his staff were very attentive and followed through. I was a ver nervous client and they just knew how to handle people with a lot of stress. It was like a roller coster. The DA offered us a plea deal but Mr. Potashnik convinced us to press on and in the end the case was dismissed!

This is a busy practice, but they had time to speak with me when I called with questions, and I called many times. When the case was over, Winnie asked me to right this review and I am more than happy to recommend Mr. Potashnik!

We talked to several attorneys in NYC area but J. Potashnik was the one my family and I were the most comfortable with. He was very professional, patient, has great communication skills, responded to any of our questions promptly. We never felt we were just another one of his cases, that he had to refresh his memory on the specific details of the case - his recollection was always superb. His investigation, legal knowledge and research were excellent, which, combined with his persistence, were instrumental in achieving the "best case scenario" outcome (the case never even got to court!). I would highly recommend Mr. Potashnik as he is excellent in his ability to assist a client with their legal needs.

When I needed a criminal lawyer, I asked my friends and relatives for some references. Someone I know used this firm before. I decided to keep them in mind and still called around other firms to see If I would get a better idea where to go. I spent the whole day calling other lawyers I found online and most didn't want to speak with me unless I came for a consultation while others did speak with me but they were obviously trying to scare me. Then I called Joseph Potashnik's office and I was transferred to Vicky. She spoke to me for about 30 minutes, basically answered my questions, and I got a feeling that they knew what they were talking about. Then she asked me if I wanted to schedule a consultation and I agreed, even though their consultation is not free. I met with Joseph the next day and the consultation lasted about 2 hours. He explained everything to me very clearly and his answers were honest, without sugarcoating or trying to use the scare tactics. I decided to hire him and boy, was it a right decision. The case took a while to finish and in the end I could eat, sleep, and live again. I recommend Joseph to anyone who needs a criminal lawyer.
