Kenneth “Ken” Padowitz saved my life. I was facing 41 years in prison for crimes I did not commit including, Aggravated fleeing and eluding law enforcement with lights and sirens activated, Carrying a firearm without a permit, and DUI resulting in property damage with BAC >.150. He kept me out of jail the whole two years my case has been going on. One of the officers who falsely charged me also told the judge to hold me without bail, so I would have rotted in jail the entire time until my trial. That corrupt officer recently resigned the police department and had to surrender his police officer’s certificate before they could fire him and he will never work in law enforcement again. Ken got me the ridiculous plea of no contest to reckless driving with withhold adjudication, which means I wasn’t found guilty of anything, no fines, no points, no criminal record, etc. Again to put this in better perspective: Because of Kenneth Padowitz I went from 21 YEARS in Prison to a No Contest Reckless Driving Misdemeanor with Withhold Adjudication! If your freedom is on the line you must do whatever it takes to protect it. Hiring Ken Padowitz as your criminal defense lawyer will protect your freedom.

Mr Padowitz in my opinion is one of the greatest attorney’s out there. About 5 years ago, I was facing 7 years in prison and I’ve never been in any trouble with the law. I had no clue what was going on or what was going to happen to me, but Mr. Padowitz sat me down and assured me that he was going to work hard to get the best possible results for me. Mr Padowitz definitely made everything seem more relaxing and he walked me step by step during my whole case. Mr Padowitz would also keep me up-to-date on regular basis. He is always available when I needed him at the end. I was given 5 years probation and withhold of adjudication. Thank you Mr Padowitz

Ken is by far one of the best attorneys I've ever had the priviledge of dealing with. I found myself in some trouble that I have never dealt with before and everything seemed pretty intimidating. Ken definitely made everything seem more calm and guided me through the process, what to expect and made everything awhole lot more bearable and easy. He was very transparent in what to expect, fees, length of time and every other aspect you can think of. He took care of me every step of the way, before, during and after, being always available when needed. We discussed different options in the case and came to the best desired result we could ask for. I definitely recommend him to anyone in need of counsel, and personally think he is one of the best attorneys hands down! Thank you Ken for all the hard work, and making the process as smooth as can be! A++++++ service all the way!

The day I met Ken Padowitz I handed him a preliminary report from a Audio Forensic Specialist that indicated abnormalities in the audio evidence the state had. I explained to Ken that I heard two different versions of this audio. I didn’t know the terminology then, but I told him exculpatory evidence had been removed.

Ken refused to speak to the forensic specialist, or allow him to do a final forensic report. Two years, and multiple requests both verbally and via email were ignored.

While constantly reminding me of the jeopardy I was in, and that a felony conviction with a one year probation was possible; he repeatedly tried to convince me that I was “mistaken” about the audio evidence.

I was forced to hire another attorney to get the audio analyzed and to hire a private investigator which Ken also refused to do.

I went ahead and hired the forensic expert that wrote the preliminary report I gave Ken. Ken disappeared. He didn’t attend a conference call to discuss the forensic report. Co council said he wasn’t returning calls. He didn’t return my calls or respond to my emails.

Fast forward, without Ken, a motion was filed and a judge threw out the recorded evidence after the same forensic expert that Ken ignored, demonstrated that 15 seconds of conversation were missing and portions of remaining conversations were now blank.

The judge then dismissed the felony charge. He then gave me a withheld of adjudication on the misdemeanor. No jail, no probation, and a sealed record.

If I did not hire additional attorneys to do Ken Padowitz job, there would have been no Forensic report, and I would have eventually been forced to accept a plea deal which would have resulted in a felony conviction.

Where can I begin. Ken is by far one of the most skilled and experienced attorneys I’ve ever met. He is the type of attorney that can make the impossible possible. He does things I’ve never even knew an attorney could do. Don’t second guess hiring Ken to represent you. Save your money if you have too. Paying any other attorney will literally be a waste if you knew what Ken was capable of. I am forever grateful. Thank you again Ken!!!!!!!!

In this world of cops having all the rights to do and say whatever they want and you have no rights.. Prove your innocence, Ken Padowitz stood up and put a quick end to the nonsense. He quickly debunked the fictitious stories of 3 cops and handled the unreasonable prosecutor. Ken is hands down superior on every level. I was lucky to not have to set 1 foot in the court room. When speaking to ken you can tell he has total command of the law and willing to fight for my rights as if it was him facing this situation. He destroyed the arresting officers in the deposition that made them look foolish, the D.A. dropped ALL charges of Battery on a Cop. Ken Padowitz is absolutely a top notch Attorney.

During my first conversation with Attorney Padowitz, he assured me that the matter could be handled favorably. He was correct. I feel that he is an exceptional attorney who truly cares about his clients. He was diligent in protecting my rights and ultimately justice was served. I also feel he possess the absolute highest levels of professional legal knowledge, skill and integrity. I am truly grateful to have found an attorney who has earned so much praise throughout his legal career.

Mr.Ken Padowitz and his Law Firm has been such an amazing and beneficial firm in dealing with my case, he’s very precise. I was intimidated with everything that was going on and even frustrated but Ken knew and understood how I felt and explained everything to the best of my understanding knowing I’ve never been in any legal trouble before, he’s truly a Man of his words and when he says he’s going to approach the court a center way it’s always for your best interest and always rules in his favor. Excellent Attorney and his Firm was extremely helpful, patient, and very understanding with me, would recommend him for your Attorney. My case was extremely serious and Mr. Ken got my Case Dropped Completely highly recommend Kenneth Padowtiz and his Law Firm

Like many others that have posted reviews, Ken saved my life! Charged with 6 second degree felonies and 7 third degree felonies , I scored enough points for an automatic prison sentence, even though this was my first time in felony court. I spent more than a year trying to fight this battle with the public defender and went through 5 pd's and the best they could do was get me 3 years in prison. After posting a bond that was $15,000 higher than that of a guy charged with molesting a child, I was limited on funds. I talked to several layers and a lot of them were total scum bags, some I caught in lies about MY case! After to talking to Ken, I knew he was the real deal! He told me exactly what was going to happen and what he planned to do to keep me out of prison, no BS, no sugar coating. This guy will fight for your freedom and he is worth every penny....even if you have to sell a kidney to get Ken , it's worth your freedom ! Thank you Ken, I went from going to prison for 3 years to probation and a withhold of adjudication so I can seal my record when I get off probation ....you're the best!

Ken is a man of his word! I was facing serious charges that held a possible 20 year sentence if I was for guilty for 11 charges. He always told me not to worry and it’s his job to do the research. He’s very creative and thorough. He put a lot of work and time into making this possible for me. Long hours, days, and nights... Ken put up a hell of a fight in trial for 3 days!! I was found NOT guilty and can finally move on with my life. Well worth every penny!

I found myself in a bad situation while vacationing in Florida.So I hired the first lawyer we talked to, bad mistake because he took advantage of us knowing we were from out of town, and represented me poorly. So then I found Kenneth Padowitz who took on my case and represented me like I've should of been. He spent countless hours working on my case never giving up, continuously fighting with the prosecutor and judge for my freedom. I was looking at 15+ years in prison, at the end he got me a plea deal that my family and I was happy with. I really want to thank him so much for everything he has done for me and fighting for me till the end. HE IS THE BEST AND I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE. THANKS AGAIN KENNETH PADOWITZ. AM OHIO

We are so incredibly blessed that we hired Ken! He is a true lifesaver. He fought to prove my fathers innocence in a 2nd degree felony charge. His knowledge and skill level in the courtroom during the trial was absolutely incredible. There are truly no words great enough to describe how grateful we are to him. He fought for justice for my father from the very beginning. He treated our family like we were his family. Compassionate, highly skilled, phenomenal communicator, advocate for justice, admirable, KIND and true are only a few words to describe Ken. Would never want anyone else on our side! He is absolutely incredible at what he does. The BEST of the BEST! He brought my father home with a NOT GUILTY verdict!

Thanks to Ken padowitz I am a free man. I could have went to prison for the rest of my life. This man is a saint. His staff is incredible and led by Chad. He genuinely cares about his clients. You can reach him 24/7 if need be. His defense techniques are unmatchable. I owe him my life and I could never thank him enough. Recommend him highly.

First of all, if you hire an attorney other than Mr. Kenneth Padowitz then you are simply wasting your time and money, no disrespect to other attorneys. Mr. Padowitz without a doubt is an expert in what he does, not only is he knowledgeable but he is known in his field and a man with that knowledge and connections is a powerful man! So glad I had him on my side, as within a few days of accepting me as his client he simply handled the case to the out most perfection. No court dates, no appearances, nothing on my record, and more importantly he gave me peace of mind to continue on with my life. Thank you for your honest work!

I would highly recommend Ken Padowitz. I hired him to handle my son's VOP (violation of probation). He was extremely professional and prompt. I couldn't have been more thrilled with the outcome. If you are looking for someone who truly understands the court system and cares about their clients then you should hire Ken.

Couldn't ask for better, he's such an amazing person we actually lost contact while he was working on my case and the case was actually dropped for failure of payment when we got back in contact he felt really bad about the situation and picked my case back up and he is still helping me get through the situation so extraordinary and is truly God sent, with amazing experience I honestly don't think you could get any better than this.
-Thank you so much Ken Padowitz

Ken Padowitz is the Best Criminal Defense Lawyer in Broward County. He is probably more skilled in the courtroom then any lawyer in Florida. He saved me from an over zealous cop and an out of control prosecutor and in the end saved my life! I can't thank him enough for the great job he did on my case.

Ken Padowitz rescued my family and I at the darkest time of our lives. I am a former attorney and was charged with three financial felonies. My adult sons were also charged. Ken gathered a "Dream Team" of attorneys to protect us. Through diligence, intelligence and aggressive advocacy, Ken and his team were able to get the charges against my sons completely dismissed. They also afforded me the opportunity to plead "No Contest" to a single 2d degree felony and amazingly, were able to convince the Judge to withhold adjudication meaning I am not a convicted felon. In addition, he secured civil releases so that this matter is truly put to rest. Ken was there for us every step of the way and we could not be more grateful. I would recommend Ken Padowitz without hesitation or reservation to anyone unfortunate enough to need the best in criminal defense.

I want to thank you Kenneth Padowitz, for the professional and effective service that you provided for me.
Three reasons why I recommend him. First of all, he always available to take your call. When he's not he return your call promptly. Second, he's aggressive when getting things done. Third, he treats you like family. Thanks again Ken..

The nature of my profession naturally brings me into contact with people who have had run-ins with the law. Kenneth Padowitz is one of the most highly regarded criminal defense lawyers on the east coast of the United States. I have referred many of my clients, all of whom have been extremely pleased with his services.

As soon as i was pulled over I knew that i would never put myself in that situation again. I ended up being arrested and charged with DUI and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. Unfortunately the state attorney's office doesnt really care if you tell them it'll never happen again, they were going for the worst possible punishment they could give. What they wanted didnt even compare to how it was affecting my life in other ways. A couple weeks before I was arrested i began my application process for law schools. I had to contact every school, and let them know my situation. The school I was going for accepted me, contingent on my charges being lowered or dropped. Thats when i made the best decision of my life and found Kenneth Padowitz. I owe him my life, the DUI charged was dropped and my paraphernalia charge was dropped once I completed a 2 month program where I have nothing on my record at all! I dont know how he did it because I thought i would never make it into law school, and now I am about to start my first year because of this amazing lawyer. If you need a lawyer Ken is the way to go!

Mr. Ken Padowitz is an extremely competent and thorough attorney with over 25 years of experience in criminal law as a prosecutor and defense attorney. He possesses a vast knowledge of the court system and the state and federal laws that are applicable. Why do I Write such a review? Very simply, choosing an attorney should not be an educated guess. I chose Mr. Padowtiz based on tangible experience, period!

Kenneth Padowitz is an AMAZING attorney! I found ken through my brother in law after I was arrested for DUI. I searched for a good DUI lawyer online but ended up hiring ken based on the recommendation. When he referred him to me he told me he used him once before and had nothing but good things to say about his experience, and same goes for me. Ken was always patient with me, and talked me through the whole process when I was freaking out calling all the time. Ken handles all serious criminal cases, but for me a DUI was a big deal and he always treated it as if it were one of his big cases. He usually always answered his phone when I called and if he didnt he would usually end up calling back within an hour or two. He is not one of those attorneys you can never reach. If you ever need a good criminal defense attorney I have nothing but good things to say about Kenneth Padowitz and highly recommend him. Fantastic experience.

Highly recommended. I have a busy schedule and work my shifts mostly during the night. I informed Ken when I hired him. I never had difficulty contacting him during the evenings or on weekends, if he didn't answer the call he would get back to me withhin the hour. Ken is a great trial attorney, the real magic happens in court.
