    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.

    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 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!

    Most Clever Lawyer

    Posted by

    Aside from Stephen’s vast knowledge as an Appellate Lawyer, he is one of the most compassionate and helpful Attorney’s I have ever met. Both he and his staff exhibit an unwavering commitment to service and he has created a positive culture unlike any law firm I have seen. Whenever I have questions, he has always gotten back to me in a more than timely fashion. With all this in mind, he has a great attitude, he is pleasant, always gracious and professional!

    Outstanding, knows his stuff!!

    Stephen helped me during my situation trying to overturn a case from 1998. He treated me like family, always there to explain the process and the status. He always had time for me and made me feel like everything was ok with no guarantees but with his knowledge he knew how much work he would put into our case. He was dedicated throughout the entire process never gave up on me. He never asked for more money which is what most lawyers do. He was so professional, kind, courteous, really knows the procedures he specializes in. Would highly recommend him to anyone who is asking. I could not have asked for a better person to handle my case.

    He navigates every twist in the labyrinth with ease... and he's loyal !!

    Posted by

    As a client, I'm glad to recommend Steve Preziosi's legal services for appellate or other post-conviction representation. He is articulate, tough, devoted to justice, and possesses knowledge as vast as any client could hope for. For us, in an unjust criminal matter, he quickly and impressively harmonized our complicated legal and practical considerations, then authored a workable strategy. He defends his empirically grounded conclusions with complete confidence and clarity - and without fear. He's never patronizing, tells it like it really is, and always takes the time necessary to put a client at ease. Based on my experience, if you or a loved one ever lands in a foxhole -- such as New York's court system -- I know Steve Preziosi is one loyal guy you'd want by your side. He just never stops believing there's a way out.

    I stumbled upon Counselor Preziosi online when I was exploring the possibility of filing an appeal in my father's guardianship proceeding. I had felt that the court and the Judge were unjust and unfair in how they ruled against me and against my father's best interest. Of all the attorneys I had consulted, Mr. Preziosi is the only one that gave me the confidence I needed to move forward with an appeal. Along the way, Mr. Preziosi has been very clear in educating me about how the justice system works. Mr. Preziosi's experience and strength is just what a potential litigant needs when faced with a justice system that is flawed at best and corrupt in worst case scenarios. There are no guarantees but Mr. Preziosi has given me a shot and an opportunity to tell the truth to a higher, more sophisticated court.

    Clear, concise, but with heart

    Posted by

    I consulted with Mr. Preziosi on a very serious and extremely sensitive family issue that required legal counsel and advice difficult to locate as a lay person over the internet. His insights were very useful in getting to the best possible outcome for a very bleak situation. Mr. Preziosi provided information in lay persons terms and professional in his demeanor to build trust and repore to quickly get to the heart of the matter. I would highly recommend Mr. Preziosi’s legal services and counsel.
