  I recently had the pleasure of being represented by Salnick Law, P.A., and I can’t recommend their services highly enough. My brother referred me to them, and from the start, they treated my case as if it were their own family’s matter. They handled both my traffic ticket and the complexities of my DUI case, which was my first offense, with exceptional care and expertise. Their dedication not only led to a reduction of my charges to reckless driving but also saved me a significant amount in fines.

I would like to thank Greg for his patience while I took the time to write this review. If you are looking for a law firm that is professional, knowledgeable, and treats their clients like family, then Salnick Law, P.A. is the place you need. Thank you for your outstanding service and support during a challenging time in my life.

They communicate with you every step of the way and were super easy to get in touch with if needed. They made a hard time easier being able to trust their every move. All charges on our case were dropped thanks to Greg and Lisa.

  Things happen in life that may require a defense attorney.  I would encourage anyone, in that position, to call Salnick Law, PA.  Let me tell you why.

We needed a defense attorney and thank goodness we were referred to Michael and Greg Salnick.  The first phone contact was reassuring and helped us to feel confident we were in the best of hands. We would come to appreciate their brilliant legal minds, years of experience, expertise and sensitivity,
immediately convinceing us we made the right choice.  We never regretted choosing Salnick Law, PA in Palm Beach County.

There are no words to articulate the manner in which they treated us and developed the case. The office staff, and others with whom we worked, were exceptional.  There was never a time we felt confused or unsupported.  These attorneys know the law but as important, they knew us and rolled up their sleeves and went to work never taking their foot off the accelerator.

Again, hope it's never necessary, but because there are no promises in life, you may find yourself, or a loved one, in a position when only the best attorneys will do, please make the phone call to Salnick Law.  I know you will not regret it.

  If you are falsely charged with a horrific crime you never committed then use this law firm! Michael Salnick along with his entire staff, outside investigators, and experts were able to show a very competent jury the truth and as my family and friends throughout the industry all knew, I was found Not Guilty. Michael commands the courtroom with his ability to relay the facts and to highlight inaccurate testimony by both incompetent and uncredible witnesses. Salnick Law was highly recommended by prominent law firms in Los Angeles, CA and Michael and Greg Salnick lived up to their reputation.

  Mr. Salnick and his team are just fantastic. An incident happen where I was set up by an individual. I was facing 10 years. My wife called the PBA and they referred her to Mr. Salnick "best decision ever." He is a great attorney and even better human being. At the end of a 30 month battle, I was declared NOT GUILTY.

  We have never met a lawyer with more knowledge OR more compassion than the Salnick family! They helped us beyond any expectations we had, while showing empathy the whole way through. Greg kept us informed with complete honesty and transparency and made sure we were comfortable and at peace with every step of the legal process. Our outcome was much better than hoped for, and certainly much better than had we gone to another law office!

have a question?

should i hire my own attorney or use a public defender?

If you've been charged with a criminal offense, you're probably wondering whether to use a public defender or seek private counsel. Be aware that not every person is eligible for public defender’s services. Only those who prove their inability to hire a lawyer are permitted to use a public defender.
