Walter and Mike are the worst criminal lawyers. Will keep asking for money and won’t help you. Worst outcomes ever. Don’t waste your time and money. He is the feds lawyer.
"When choosing a lawyer, clients need someone that is experienced and holds a variety of awards to back up that experience, Walter A. Lesnevich is one such lawyer. Walter has successfully represented a variety of clients in criminal and personal injury cases. He is currently certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Civil Trial and Criminal Trial Attorney and holds the ranking of Super Lawyer. All awards aside the main thing that makes Walt so successful is his personal approach to every client. I would recommend Walt for anyone that wants a successful lawyer to represent them."
"Walt Lesnevich and his highly talented team of lawyers at Lesnevich & Marzano-Lesnevich have earned a much deserved reputation for their tireless advocacy, creative trial skills and a passion for their clients who are at the mercy of corporations and insurance companies. I have known Walt for over four years now and have seen him in numerous trial skills seminars through our membership in the Primerus Consumer Law Institute. He is fast on his feet, witty and one can easily see why juries warm to his sincerity and passion for his client’s case. When I have a client in need of a trial lawyer in New York or New Jersey, my first phone call will be to Walt Lesnevich because I know that this person will be well protected by Walt’s highly skilled representation."

"I have referred and entrusted two significant cases to Walt Lesnevich and his firm because they are highly respected for the quality of their representation as evidenced by their achieving the highest peer recognition by their fellow lawyers and judges. One look at the firm's qualifications clearly show what a great law firm this is! I would recommend anyone to this firm without hesitation."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have been fortunate to know Walter Lesnevich as a member of Primerus. He has the training, skills and experience to professionally represent his clients. He has earned his reputation for hard work, great results and dedication to his clients."
"I highly recommend Walt Lesnevich to represent anyone in New Jersey who is seriously injured through someone else’s wrongdoing. I will not hesitate to recommend a family member or loved one to Walt. You’ll feel comfortable with him, he’s “real people.” One of the things that impresses me about Walt is he’s definitely an experienced and seasoned attorney, which is what you want, but unlike a lot of veteran attorneys, he does not stop learning. He’s not set in his ways. He’s always learning, staying on top of new developments and theories, and attending national conferences to get the new information that is coming faster every day. That’s a great combination—someone with experience and an excellent track record, and who keeps learning and keeps getting better. If you need a fine lawyer, I hope you will call Walt Lesnevich and talk with him. You won’t be disappointed."
