  • "I walked out with my best possible outcome."

    After receiving a ticket for driving in a construction zone, I reached out to Marty who was highly recommended to me. Marty was terrific and clearly laid out all the possible scenarios. Sometimes court can be overwhelming (points, no points, fine, reduced fine, guilty vs not guilty) yet Marty made everything simple and focused on what outcome was most important for me. Due to Marty, I walked in confident and walked out with my best possible outcome

    I hope to not be in court again for any type of traffic violation but Marty will be my first call if I need assistance and anyone else reading this should do the same.

  • "The best decision I made."

    I highly recommend Martin Kron & Associates. I had a great experience. A good friend recommended me to Marty last year when I received a speeding ticket in NYC. Marty knows the process extremely well, listened & answered all of my questions, and ultimately got my ticket dismissed. In addition, during the past 20 months, when I had questions regarding the adjournments and processes, all of the people in his office were extremely responsive, professional and great at answering all of my questions. Before getting the referral to Marty, I called a few other traffic law firms that I found online to possibly handle the ticket. They all sounded like ticket factories with no real service and no real people behind you. Having Marty or one of his attorneys representing you in NYC traffic court was the best decision I made and is 100% the right answer. I got a great result and felt that I had the A-team on my side. If you get a traffic ticket in NYC, I would call Martin 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.

  • "Attentive, grade A service"

    I recently retained Martin and his son Dan to handle a DUI for me as I was incredibly worried that one big mistake was going to haunt me for the rest of my life. I called multiple attorneys and though their fee was by no means the lowest it came in right around the middle of all the quotes I had received. What I felt I got from them was attentive and grade A service though. From the beginning, Dan was very reassuring and set me at ease. We discussed my case and came up with a plan for how we would proceed. Over the course of the multiple appearances that I had to make he was always there at the right time, saying the right thing, and in general acting like he had my back. In addition, whenever I called the office for updates his assistant was super helpful and whenever I spoke to him or Martin, they were super generous with their time. In the end, they obtained as good an outcome as I could have ever wished for! I am very grateful to all their hard work and the professional and friendly demeanor they maintained through this entire travail. I cannot recommend them enough!

  • "Martin was honest, clear and available."
    This was my first time hiring an attorney for a ticket. I had a ticket for speeding in a school zone and was in jeopardy of having my license suspended. Martin was honest, clear and available. He just communicated with me and shared I was found not guilty!!! So grateful and thankful for Martin and his team!

  • "Martin A. Kron got me off with a warning."
    In September 2015 I was faced with a very serious New York City traffic violation. I was very upset with the predicament I had gotten myself into & reached out to Martin A. Kron for legal counsel. Subsequent to explaining what happened Martin agreed to handle my case & assured me I was in good hands - at this point I formally retained Martin. I sweated out a possible suspended license - I was humiliated, embarrassed & humbled by the sheer recklessness of my actions. I swore to myself that if I got off with just a warning I would never ever disobey the traffic laws again. Via his expert legal acumen & experience, Martin A. Kron got me off with a warning. I strongly recommend The Law Offices of Martin A. Kron to anyone facing a traffic violation. In summary, do not disobey the traffic laws - the consequences are just not worth it.

  • "Hire him with confidence."
    I owe Marty a debt of gratitude for the way in which he counseled me on traffic tickets and what to do in court. I would give Marty my highest recommendation. He REALLY knows his stuff. Do hire him with confidence. While I hope I never need him again I rest a little easier knowing that I have him by my side. Thanks, Marty.

  • "Both tickets dismissed!"
    I received two cell phone tickets in the past year because I was using the GPS on my cell phone. Mr. Kron was able to get both tickets dismissed and put me at ease along the way.
