Amazing Appeals Attorney

I would highly recommend this lawyer to anyone who is looking for a federal criminal appeals attorney! He deals with federal cases in every state! I consulted him on behalf of my boyfriend who has been serving years in prison for a crime he didn’t do. We spoke for over an hour, and he really took the... time to listen to me and review my boyfriend’s case. He gave me his honest professional unbiased opinion of my boyfriend’s options free of charge and has been so incredibly helpful! Don’t hesitate to contact him if you need a lawyer or need any legal professional advice!

The best way to describe Stephen Preziosi is brilliant. He is as zealous as they come. As opposing counsel, I observed Stephen fight tooth and nail for his client. If you are looking for an experienced, knowledgeable, and passionate attorney, Stephen is the man for you! He will stop at nothing to win... cases for his clients and he knows the intricacies of laws to make that happen.

Appeal lawyer like no other

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 ca...se. 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.

This guy is a Rock Star!!!

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 w...as 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!
