“I have rarely encountered a public defender who so clearly demonstrated that achieving the best possible outcome was the top priority. From the outset, the dedication, preparation, and willingness to fight aggressively at trial—if necessary—provided an overwhelming sense of confidence and security during an extremely stressful time. Facing a double‑digit mandatory minimum sentence, I ultimately resolved my case with probation and no jail time due to this exceptional advocacy. I am deeply grateful and highly recommend this passionate and dedicated attorney.”

“It is hard to overstate how positive my family’s two experiences with Atty. Asaf Sarno have been. If one were to sit down and describe the qualities of a great criminal defense attorney, you would describe Atty. Sarno.In the first case, a close family member with substance use issues was already on probation for non-violent related offenses when he re-offended. His case was referred to Superior Court where he was indicted and faced up to 5 years in a state penitentiary. He even failed to appear for a hearing. Fortunately, Asaf was available to take the case. Asaf deftly took advantage of errors and weaknesses in the state’s case. He also researched the sentencing history for similar cases, including that of the assigned judge. He also employed a PI to obtain relevant info to bolster the case. Although the DA’s office refused to make an acceptable plea deal, Asaf was confident that the case would resolve acceptably. In the end, the accused received extended probation – far better than jail time.At all times, Asaf remained positive and optimistic. With his client’s permission, he kept us family in the loop so that we could be appropriately supportive. (We also attended every court appearance which Asaf assured us was very helpful.)Meanwhile, another case (i.e. a different non-violent offense while under the influence) had been simmering for 2 ½ years. The original defense lawyer had assumed it would settle quickly. However, the prosecution again would not agree to an acceptable plea deal. It was apparent that the case would go to trial. It felt like a lost cause. My family member decided to get a 2nd opinion from Atty. Sarno. He instantly greeted us with positive energy and enthusiasm even before we explained the reason for calling him. We agreed to pay his reasonable fee to review the case. No guarantees but based on Asaf’s thorough review he presented three distinct approaches to the defense. Based on this and the prior experience with Asaf, he was hired to take over the case.Attorney Sarno worked hard on this case, appropriately hiring a PI and a forensic psychologist to bolster the defense. Importantly, Asaf ALWAYS returned calls and emails in a timely manner – typically within 24 hours, even when he was in court on another trial. Also with his guidance, we solicited letters of support from family members, former counselors, etc.. All this led to being as prepared as possible for the trial. Asaf made a vigorous defense, for which he was congratulated by the judge! In the end, my family member was given probation with some strict but reasonable conditions – much better than the what the state had previously insisted on. Now my family member has a reasonable shot at wellness because staying in a treatment program is now possible.There are many factors that play into the outcome of a criminal trial – the strength of the evidence, the skill and determination of the prosecution, the judge assigned, the defendant’s history, and the degree of support by family and friends. But certainly, a HUGE factor is the skill, determination, demeanor and work ethic of the defense counsel. Asaf brings all of those qualities to his work – to an EXCEPTIONALLY high degree! Moreover, Atty. Asaf Sarno’s enthusiasm for his profession and dedication to his clients are what make him a head-and-shoulders standout in the criminal defense bar.I hope you never need the criminal defense skills of Attorney Asaf Sarno, but if you’re reading this there’s a good chance you do. My advice: HIRE HIM!”

“I have nothing but good things to say about Attorney Sarno. I was charged with multiple counts of possession of a large capacity firearm without a FID card, facing up to 10 years in prison on each count, and Attorney Sarno was able to negotiate a custodial sentence of only 15 months (after the prosecutor pushed the court for 2x that amount) and three years' probation. Through additional research and investigation, Attorney Sarno uncovered multiple instances of misconduct committed by the District Attorney's Office and local PD, resulting in my probation sentence being cut in half! Attorney Sarno went far above and beyond my expectations for a criminal defense attorney. I am grateful for his diligence, expertise, and relentless effort to get the best possible outcome for me. I would whole-heartedly recommend Attorney Sarno to anyone who needs the BEST legal representation possible!”

“Hands down best attorney of all time. Not only has he helped me threw my legal battles with 100% Succession rate succession rate but he’s continued to help me outside of the court room with my personal life. When I met Asaf I was just turning 21 with 5 to 6 serious open cases and facing up to 25 years in prison. Not only did he beat the allegations against me but he made it so I didn’t have to spend a minute in jail And that’s just for one case. If your are looking for legal representation trust me Asaf is the way to go.”

“Recommending Attorney Sarno is a privilege and an honor. Context: I met Asaf part-way through a young relative's case over 1-year ago, as a Court Appointed lawyer. As an educator and problem-solver for over 50-years, I've come to understand there are three types of teachers: some view their work as a Job, others view their work as a Career, while some view their work as a Calling. This illustration applies to lawyers also. When Asaf took on this case, during initial interview, it was abundantly clear, for him, being a lawyer is a Calling! Asaf is on a mission - I am here for you, I will fight for you I will never give in. Simply put, Asaf successfully seeks justice for underserved and underrepresented individuals, especially those who have experienced injustice and or inequity within the criminal justice system.Asaf was a Pit Bull for my family member. He did incredible research and worked tirelessly. He never gave in! His court interactions demonstrated high level skills and top-quality professionalism. Outcome, worthy of note. An initial Mandatory 8-10 years, ended with 3-year probation.It's a very special honor to offer my highest recommendation for Asaf, and to recommend him without reservation. Respectfully, R.A. Gibson”

“As a client of Asaf Sarno I could not have been more pleased with his services. Unlike other attorney's he actually answered my phone calls, texts and emails promptly. I was blessed to be fortunate enough to see him in the court room during my arraignment, during which time I was sitting on the bench with my Wife and had no one to represent me. He told me that he would represent me that day until I hired private council. Before I made a decision my wife and I met with him and after that we decided that Attorney Sarno was my best bet. He definitely did his due diligence. he was always prepared and always fighting tooth and nail for me. Even after going through 3 different judges and 4 different prosecutors he was still able to negotiate for a non-criminal disposition that will result in an ultimate dismissal. My life could have been ruined forever because of one poor lack of judgment on my part but thanks to Asaf that won't happen. He even got them down to 9 months probation when they were asking for 18! I'm very satisfied with his services and his hard work and dedication to make sure that my life was not ruined forever. He actually cares about you and your future and will never put you on the back burner unlike most attorneys nowadays.”

“My name is Diane and I had the privilege and honor to have Mr. Sarno as my attorney. I was going through a difficult time facing prison time and felonies on my record, not only didn't I go to prison but I also got a second chance. I was blessed with a CWOF and a chance to prove myself again with a clean record. Not only did Mr. Sarno fight for my justice but he fought for me as a human being. He didn't look at me as another criminal he viewed me as a young lady who needed help and for that I am forever grateful. I honestly hope people see this and view for themselves how loyal this attorney is. Thank you Mr. Sarno.”

“When My husband and I met Attorney A, J, Sarno, our hearts were heavy and his case seemed bleak with no hope of a positive outcome.Attorney Sarno explained the many situations that would affect the outcome of our son's case, Attorney Sarno gave suggestions on how we could also help our son.I then felt a sigh of relief knowing that he was concerned about our son's future. He also kept us informed of the progress. At one point it seemed that the outcome would be negative. When we received the telephone call that our son's case was dismissed, our hearts were no longer heavy.Thank you was all we could say at that blessed moment. If anyone know of another word please let us know. Our son's future was in the hands of the ADA but Attorney Sarno used his skilled knowledge and passion for justice to get a positive and respectful resolution.We would return again for his service when needed. Thank you for your help.Grateful,Mrs. Cacenia Duran and Mr. Manuel Duran”
