The Kugel Law Firm | DUI Defense Lawyers in Newark, NJ

I highly recommend Rachel Kugel as a DWI defense attorney. Her knowledge of the law and professionalism went above and beyond my expectations. I was charged with a 2nd offense with the 1st being 19 years prior. Being a refusal the court asserted I was not eligible for a stepdown to a 1st. Furthermore the judge seriously criticized me...and her,on a personal level, for defending me. I have the upmost respect for Rachel as she stood behind me,advising me of my legal rights as a defendant, as she respectfully defended her job as my lawyer , all while she faced possible contempt charges....I can't make this up! In the following court hearing she calmly and respectfully submitted supreme court case documents defending my rights and pointing out inaccuracies in the courts legal position regarding my refusal and eligibility for a stepdown. When settled, I was eventually charged with a 1st offense. Her knowledge and professionalism is in my opinion all anyone can ask for. I am extremely grateful for her service and would without question recommend her to anyone in in need of a DWI attorney .

I had an incredible lawyer when I was facing serious time, and she truly fought for me every step of the way. Rachel Kugel stood up for me when it mattered most and never backed down. She’s sweet, understanding, and genuinely cares about her clients—but when it comes to dealing with prosecutors, she’s tough and relentless. If you want the best, forget the rest. I highly recommend her.

I have only meet Rachel ,attorney for The Kugel Law Firm over social media. I was a guest on one of her AMAZING podcast episodes. From the moment we started talking I knew instantly how great she was. Not only did she help me get my story of misconduct from law enforcement. She has encouraged me to learn more about my rights with her amazing podcasts. She has continued to be a mentor, with 3,000miles separating the two of us. I come on contact, daily encounters with those accused of crimes, attorney offices claiming to help, public defenders, 4 of my own DUI charges, a best friend sentenced to 15yrs for DUI charges. And i turn to her for knowledge, compassion ect. She has always shown compassion, knowledge, and Im 100 percent confident of this firm and Rachel.
