    I have used a lot of attorney's in my life and they have always been out for themselves. NOT this…read moreguy he was the best lawyer I ever had.

    My family has hired Mr. William Polistina twice now. He has been the light at the end of the tunnel…read morefor our family at a time when our choices appeared limited and the probability of a fair resolution seemed just about impossible. Not only has he been able to defend us from what we felt was an unjust charge, his calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional support to myself and those I care about most, my sons. Mr. Polistina is a good listener and exhibited the ability to quickly analyze what my sons told him, and he knew exactly what important judgement calls to make which drastically minimized the decision-making time. He always kept in mind that the decisions being made were going to affect both of my sons' futures. We put our trust in him each time hoping that he would take the best approach to achieve the desired outcome. We believe that he did reach a favorable negotiation with the opposition and we were content with the outcome. That was very important because both of my sons had college degrees at stake. Also, when we hired him the second time, Mr. Polistina understood that we were struggling financially so he let us pay his fee in installments instead of requesting his entire fee upfront. This is a lawyer who cares. Our experiences with him have been nothing but positive. He kept us up-to-date either by phone or e-mail. If we had to leave a message, he would promptly return our calls. We are eternally grateful for his service, would hire him again, and would recommend Mr. Polistina without reservation. He is a lawyer with a heart!

    BEFORE YOU HIRE HEATHER MATES READ THIS! *HEATHER MATES. IN…read moreMY OPINION. HAS NO HONOR, INTEGRITY OR DO DILIGENCE TO HER JUDICIARY RESPONSIBLITIES as a criminal attorney. I could write a book on how much she butchered up my case but I'm just going to give you some bullet points. * I had a win-win case. The judge said in so many words that it was a ridiculous charge. * I had a consult with Heather 2 weeks before the preliminary. GAVE HER ALL DOCS NEEDED. She made it sound so easy. This would be an in and out because the charge could not be proven. *She advised me her retainer would be $6,000. Heather emailed me the contract. *When I read the contract it said $6,000 non-refundable flat fee, when asked why she said she didn't believe my story! *I tried to find another lawyer, not easy in WC. *Panicing I called her a week before the trial to accept the contract. Which was the biggest mistake of my life. *We go to the hearing for some unknown reason she asks for a continuance; the judge looks bewildered but says okay. * I was going on vacation. I asked her what do you need from me before I go because I will not be back until the day before court. *She ORDERED me to gather that wasn't relative to the case at hand. I was so confused. *I got her everything she needed I marked and highlighted everything important, IMO an intern could have understood it. AGAIN I did ALL THE WORK!. *The day before court she calls me asking me where the information was I was supposed to get her. I said you had it for 11 days, so all that time she never even looked at my case, not once. Then charged me $100 for the call. *Once at hearing. She let the da bully her which I couldn't believe because she was a bully to me, into making me take a guilty plea to a lesser carge even tho I was inocent! I never even spoke to the judge...again the Judge looked bewildered IMO, wondering what just happened? *Bottom line is she took $6000. Worked maybe half of what she charged me for and kept $3,750 BMC (see invoice) for absolutely nothing. * IMO, do not use this woman she is the worst criminal lawyer in Westchester.

    Wow!! This woman has no bedside manner so to speak. If you're in need, have been bullied by the…read morepolice, are an elderly woman who needs a lawyer don't call this office. Heather, try being understanding and helpful. You never know who will call you and maybe you can't help them but they have friends that you could be referred to.....not now...
