He was professional, knowledgeable, extremely attentive, and made me feel reassured during what could have been a very stressful situation.Josued Hidalgo"I Had an Excellent Experience"
I had an excellent experience working with Michael and can’t recommend him highly enough. From the very beginning, he was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely attentive. He took the time to walk me through every step of the process, making sure I fully understood what was happening and what to expect. What really stood out to me was his ability to stay calm and confident while handling everything with precision. He was always responsive, answered all of my questions thoroughly, and made me feel reassured during what could have been a very stressful situation. Michael’s experience and strong professional network clearly make a difference. He knows how to navigate complex situations effectively and works in a way that truly benefits his clients. I felt like he genuinely cared about getting the best possible outcome for me, not just treating it like another case. Overall, I’m extremely grateful for his guidance and support. If you’re looking for an attorney who is reliable, experienced, and truly committed to his clients, I would highly recommend Michael without hesitation.

Mr. Borrelli handled my son’s criminal case in 2024. He was very straightforward and precise, if I must say. Going back and forth to court, he made it a breeze of comfort for my son as well as me as his mother. I’d definitely refer him in the future if needed.

Since I saw him I felt safe and hopeful about my case! Definitely I recommend him for everyone in criminal case!Albania 2018"I Felt Safe and Hopeful About My Case"
My name is K.L. I found Michael by searching on the internet and I tried to call him. It was Sunday afternoon and he responded to me. My English, to be honest, is not at a good level, but he listened to me patiently and advised me how to behave in my case! He called the police station, arranged my procedures, and everything went exactly as he told me! So I decided to see him! I told my case and I hired him because he expressed professionalism, respect, and precision in how to handle the case! Since I saw him I felt safe and hopeful about my case! Definitely I recommend him for everyone in criminal case! Thank you for defending me, Michael!

He got me out of a really tough situation, and I truly believe things would have turned out very differently without him.Mario"He Changed My Life"
I honestly can’t thank Michael enough. He got me out of a really tough situation, and I truly believe things would have turned out very differently without him. From day one, he was sharp, professional, and always one step ahead. He fought hard for me, explained everything clearly, and never made me feel judged. I felt like I had someone in my corner who actually cared—and that made all the difference. If you’re in serious trouble and need someone who knows what they’re doing, I highly recommend Michael. He changed my life.

If you find yourself fighting the state of New York on any criminal matter, Mr. Borrelli is the ONLY person I want by my side.John"Michael Borrelli Is One of New York’s Best"
Michael Borrelli is an ace criminal defense attorney. If you hire Michael Borrelli, it’s over. Michael Borrelli is passionate about what he does; he works very hard to ensure that people’s rights are protected to the highest degree. Michael clearly loves what he does, and it shows through his widespread respect amongst court personnel and judges all over Westchester. Michael’s courtroom presence is powerful and instills confidence each time I went for an appearance. Judges have great respect for him because they know he is all about business. Michael Borrelli speaks up to make sure that the system of justice is fair for each client he represents. He makes sure that the system does not get oppressive. Mr. Borrelli doesn’t cut corners. When lawyers cut corners, innocent people start getting hurt. To me, civil liberties are a great heritage for Americans; they are not rights that the government gives people. To me, they are the rights that the people carved out for themselves. Michael protects people from prosecution. Michael Borrelli is one of New York’s best criminal defense attorneys. He began his career as a prosecutor in Westchester County. Michael Borrelli pours out his heart and his soul in the courtroom. His successful strategy has led to each case I’ve had with Mr. Borrelli to be disposed of in a favorable manner that he ultimately predicted from the start of the case. He is fair and reasonable. He does not find ways to charge more money by pushing people to trial. In fact, it is just the opposite. I was insistent on going to trial in a case handled by Mr. Borrelli, and he told me to calm down and let him do his job. Boy, was I glad I placed my trust in him rather than doing it my way. He was confident my case would never see the inside of a jury trial, and he was right. He got my case dismissed outright in a very, very efficient and speedy manner. I could go on and on about Michael’s ability to defend his clients in their darkest times as a criminal defendant, but hopefully I’ve made it clear that if you find yourself fighting the state of New York on any criminal matter, Mr. Borrelli is the ONLY person I want by my side, fighting for my rights and freedom. He is very reasonable in pricing and very straightforward and easy to deal with.

I am so thankful I chose to work with Michael, he was great!!Milena Rudenko"He Was Great!!"
I needed a contract for my startup, and Michael prepared it for me in less than 2 weeks. I’ve never worked with Michael before, and I didn’t feel comfortable going to a lawyer who I didn’t know, but I am so thankful I chose to work with Michael, he was great!! Great communication, I definitely recommend him with any issues that you have. He will advise you, point you in the right direction. And I will definitely go back to him if I need help again! 10/10

He really did fight hard to achieve our desired result, and went above and beyond in terms of pushing against initial deals offered.Zakaria Kassaoui"He worked above and beyond my expectations"
Mr. Borrelli represented me on a misdemeanor case that had the potential to have a significantly negative impact on my personal and professional lives. He took my case after I was dissatisfied with my previous representation. The difference was more than appreciable. Mr. Borrelli worked above and beyond my expectations. He started by asking for an initial interview, during which I had the chance to explain my side of the story. He gave me all the time that I needed, and recorded all of my thoughts and leanings. He then explained how the case would be expected to go based on his very significant experience, highlighting general trends and expectations for this sort of case. Finally, he fought extremely hard for the desired outcome, pushing back against initial deals that he didn't think were fair or consistent with expected norms. He was ultimately able to resolve the case with what I thought was the best case scenario, in a context that was very difficult and challenging. I would add two notes here: 1] Although Mr. Borrelli now works on the side of the defense, he previously had a long history on the prosecution's side, which gives him not only unique perspectives on their thinking but has also afforded him good contacts and relationships that facilitate negotiation and compromise with them. 2] Mr. Borrelli was the second lawyer that I hired on my case, after I was dissatisfied with my initial attorney. The difference in effort was very apparent. He really did fight hard to achieve our desired result, and went above and beyond in terms of pushing against initial deals offered, and arguing passionately for the result that he felt was the most fair. I fully and passionately recommend Mr. Borrelli, and cannot sufficiently convey how much I appreciated his efforts on my behalf.

I would absolutely recommend Michael Borrelli to anyone who is looking for a sharp, skilled lawyer with the compassion of a friend who is more like family.susan stratis"I Would Absolutely Recommend Michael Borrelli"
Michael Borrelli possesses all the skills necessary for a great criminal attorney. He not only has great communication skills, but is as good a listener as he is a speaker. While listening to his clients, he then decides exactly in what manner he will deal with your case. In my case, Michael knew instantly what defense was needed. In addition, his excellent rapport, negotiation, and communication skills with the opposing attorney led to a much-reduced charge for me. Michael is extremely knowledgeable about the law, sharp, and on top of his game as a criminal attorney. Michael engaged aggressively with my case and let nothing slip by unnoticed. Not only is Michael intuitive, but he is tough. Michael “stood up for me” vs. prosecutors and threats of the State. Michael was always prepared for court with a command of the laws and facts needed in my situation, as well as knowing the range of potential for outcomes. Michael gives his clients 100% of himself and uses his best efforts. I felt that he held himself personally responsible for resolving my case. With 20 plus years of experience practicing criminal law, as well as a prior position in the Westchester DA’s office, Michael knows the legal system. He understood that many times justice is not found in domestic cases, and that charges can be exaggerated or “trumped up” in “he said/she said” situations. Michael not only had empathy for my particular legal situation, he understood the serious and negative impact the legal issue had on my life. Not only does Michael have integrity, but cares about his clients and the direction their case is taking. He was also proactive in incorporating the information I provided him into my defense strategy, able to argue forcefully “off the cuff,” and was always ready and available to me, without delay. I would absolutely recommend Michael Borrelli to anyone who is looking for a sharp, skilled lawyer with the compassion of a friend who is more like family. I was extremely happy with the outcome of what could have been criminal charges. Not only did he have my charges reduced to a violation, but he also went as far as making sure that all my records were cleaned up and deleted from all criminal databases. I’m very grateful for choosing him as my lawyer, and I would not hesitate referring him to all my friends and family. Michael, once again, thank you for everything. Susan Stratis

Michael and his associate Andrew Spatz are the best you can get for any sort of criminal conviction.Matthew Foristel"The Best You Can Get for Criminal Conviction"
Michael and his associate, Andrew Spatz, are the best you can get for any sort of criminal conviction. They’re really knowledgeable of the law, experienced, have close ties to the courts, judges, district attorneys, etc. But most of all, they were able to get me out of a criminal conviction as they anticipated and just about guaranteed they would when I signed my retainer letter (engagement letter). Andrew is really going to give it to you straight, making sure as clients/suspects we do what we are supposed to do in the interim while the court process plays out. Otherwise, Michael really knows his criminal law, having served for the District Attorney’s office for many years. He will really fight to get the best deal he can for his clients, but most of all his knowledge of the system, organized, and closes the case with a very detailed and instructional disengagement/conclusion of services letter. He is also very present and there for any questions at any time, guiding through the process in a very comforting way. Although you are going to pay, you get what you pay for, and their rates are very fair. Overall, as long as you do your part, they are going to do theirs, leaving you to your life, work, etc., feeling as if your legal troubles are in good hands, curbing any stress from the legal woes at hand.

Michael exceeded my expectations by far. His experience and professionalism is unmatched.GJ J"Michael Exceeded My Expectations"
Michael Borrelli recently helped me with my DWI case. Michael exceeded my expectations by far. His experience and professionalism is unmatched. I highly recommend anyone looking for an attorney to hire Michael. I am very grateful for what Michael did for me, and I wish him the best. God bless.

Michael's extensive DWI experience enabled him to find problems in my case that no one else was able to find.Josh Shaw"Michael Reduced My DWI to a Violation"
Michael recently took over a DWI case being handled by another attorney. After reviewing the evidence, he convinced the District Attorney to reconsider their offer of a misdemeanor and got them to reduce the matter to a DWAI violation. Michael's extensive DWI experience enabled him to find problems in my case that no one else was able to find, and now I will not have a criminal record, my license will not be revoked, and I will not have to install an interlock device on my vehicle. What I also appreciated about Michael was that I had his cellphone number, and I had access to him at any time. I could text him or call him whenever I wanted.

We are forever grateful to Mike Borrelli for his skill, talent, and most of all human compassion.Ana DeLeon"A True Savior"
During an awful and stressful time, Mike Borrelli was a TRUE savior. For the first time, through an incredibly complex situation (where other lawyers were too intimidated by the plaintiff), Mike came in like a pit bull and carefully looked at all the facts at hand and was not afraid to stand up to a corrupt individual who had made false reports and thought because of their "title" that no one would challenge them. We are forever grateful to Mike Borrelli for his skill, talent, and most of all human compassion. He saw the stress we were under and how the false allegations were weighing heavily on us, and he refused to allow it to continue. I will forever recommend anyone I know that needs legal assistance to Mike. If you need help and you need someone who actually cares about what you are going through - look no further, Mike is your guy! He is honest, transparent, and will give you his excellent opinion, advice, and help.
