Review Stephen Preziosi

Appeal lawyer like no other

Posted by

He's one the rare lawyers who loves his work. You can tell it, the moment you approach him. While most other lawyers won't even touch your case before getting hired or try to give you a quick unhelpful answer, Stephen took time to explain to me how the appeal system works before even getting to my case. He took time to explain lawyer methodology, how to tell a story from your facts and how to convince the court instead of just putting dry statements and citations. He truly understands the system and he clearly explains it to his clients before diving in. Then he even took time to listen me, read what I wrote, understand what I've gone through, then, and only then, went ahead to help with my brief. Every time he was fixing a mistake, he was actually teaching me how to do it correctly in future. From his touch to my case and his thought process, you can tell he's extremely experienced. My case was a small civil case, otherwise I'd also hire him in a heartbeat. But even in my situation, his touch to my brief made the whole difference. He didn't just give me few tricks, or fixes, he gave me a whole new fresh approach.

I contacted Stephen to do an appeals case for me. He worked with me at every step of the way. He sent me work that he was submitting, and it blew me away. I met him for the first time for oral arguments for my case. I had no idea what to expect. He had always been very kind and respectful to me and was hoping he would really deliver a prime-time performance. He did not disappoint. I had a few people watching the case online and my phone lit up with comments like your “Your lawyer is amazing” or “my God, your lawyer crushed it”. I have trusted lawyers in the past and felt very disappointed. This man treated me and argued for me like he was family. Without him by my side during this process, I don’t know where I would be right now. He tells you his opinion and lets you know everything from the start. He knows all the nuances of the appeals process and makes a terrifying process much more palatable. He has been realistic about the expectations from the beginning; however, he has a plan in his head to win. He doesn’t like to lose. He is the type of lawyer I can see arguing before the Supreme Court of the United States. He’s that good!

If you are involved in any kind of appellate matter, you need to contact Stephen Preziosi. I have never worked with a more dedicated attorney. Stephen is undoubtedly who I would hire if I needed someone to do my appeal.

Michael Mueller, Divorce and separation Attorney on Feb 16, 2018
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I endorse Mr. Preziosi. He handles all appeals for my clients. He is currently handling an appeal of a commission dispute related to a $100MM transaction for on of my clients. He is also experienced in appealing convictions of those who are facing life sentences in prison. He is a legal giant in Appellate Practice, which is why I trust him; and put my clients' lives in his hands.
