  • "No points and no suspension."
    Mr. Kron got my driving with a suspended license dropped down to a charge that carried no points and no suspension. Can't thank him enough for the excellent work he did.
    Jason
  • "Reduced my son's fine considerably."
    My son and I consulted with Martin for a traffic violation that was received in the Bronx in 2016. His knowledge reduced my son's fine considerably as well as helped him shed points in an efficient manner. We would recommend him for hire.

  • "Very easy to reach either him or his office."
    Martin is an excellent attorney. He got the results I needed and it was very easy to reach either him or his office. Martin will be the only red light/speeding attorney that I ever use.

  • "Honest with regards to the whole matter and never gave me a false sense of security"
    I would like to personally thank Mr. Martin Kron for his help in getting a no left turn moving violation dismissed. I had a clean driving record with no moving violation and after speaking with Mr. Kron he made no guarantees and was honest with regards to the whole matter and never gave me a false sense of security as to what the final turn out would be. He said he would only do his best and I gave him my case. I was extremely worried because it was an injustice based on the circumstances and Mr. Kron was able to get the moving violation to dismiss and I thank him very much. I recommend Mr. Kron for traffic violations without hesitation, and again I say "Thank You" Mr. Kron.

  • "If you need an Ace in the hole, he's your man!"
    Mr. Kron was on top of my case like an eagle in the treetops and kept me informed the entire time of every change as well as every possible outcome. His attention to detail, professionalism, and demeanor is UNMATCHED.
    Spiro
  • "We were up first and out first."
    Marty met me 15 minutes before court was due to start exactly as we agreed. He spoke to the prosecutor and as indicated in the title, cut the points on my two tickets from 8 to 2, reduced my fines by a third, and we were out of court in 45 minutes. Had they started on time it would have been only 30 minutes instead of the hours it might have been with all the people that showed up. We were up first and out first. I bet he was there quite a bit earlier than I was to accomplish this feat.
    Jeff
  • "I am so glad I chose his firm, his fee was well worth it."
    I am very happy with Mr. Kron's help. He had my ticket for driving with lapsed insurance in New Jersey (1st offense, no bad driving history) dismissed, all I had to pay were $33.00 in court fees. I am so glad I chose his firm, his fee was well worth it.

  • "Mr. Kron is wonderful!"
    Mr. Martin A. Kron is a knowledgeable, professional, effective and caring Attorney. And finding this combination is very rare. He treats you like a client, but he also treats you like family. I have gotten speeding tickets in the past and handled them myself. But this was a DWI Ticket (and a careless driving ticket) and I was petrified. I found Mr. Martin Kron, and he was wonderful. He believed what I had to say, he walked me through the process, and he even gave me his cell number and home email so that I could contact him any time I felt scared or confused. The first court date was just to enter the plea. Mr. Kron spoke with the Prosecutor prior to the second court appearance and we were hoping that based on the evidence, the Prosecutor would dismiss the tickets. No such luck. I think the Prosecutor wanted another "win" in his column, and I was going to be it. Mr. Kron presented our case and the Prosecutor presented why he had grounds to proceed to trial. But Mr. Kron professionally stood his ground and the 2 tickets were dismissed that day! I couldn't more highly recommend an attorney! Mr. Kron is wonderful!
