Kennith and his team are truly outstanding—highly professional and the best of the best. They handled my case with expertise and got it dismissed. I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation! -
Searching for an attorney is never a task that should be taken lightly, and after much deliberation and research, I came across high-profile criminal defense attorney (Ken)neth Padowitz.
I can proudly say that although my case involved … More a lot of intricate details, Ken Padowitz was able to effectively navigate through the haze and highlight the inconsistencies of witness allegations against me. Ken Padowitz is an expert in exposing case-relevant contradictions, demonstrating this in both the courtroom and through witness depositions.
I’d be remiss to not mention the extreme value that Ken Padowitz has through his other criminal defense attorney on his legal team, Joshua Padowitz.
I cannot emphasize enough how Joshua Padowitz really completes the Padowitz team, the perfect yang to Ken’s yin.
Whether it be through depositions, on phone conferences, or in the actual courtroom, watching these two work effectively together was appealing and assuring.
Everyone should want an experienced, aggressive, crafty attorney like Ken Padowitz on their counsel.
Everyone should want a detail-oriented, thorough, communicative and personable attorney like Joshua Padowitz on their counsel.
I am extremely grateful with the representation I received from both of them, and I’m more than happy with the end result of having such an outstanding legal team.
Thank you Ken, Josh, Guiliana, Ryan, and Kaitlin!! -

Hands down, the best service in the business. Communication with the office was superb in times that I had any questions or concerns along the way. The attorneys and paralegals all had such a genuine aura to themselves it did not feel like … More other attorney offices I had dealt with in the past.
