Most Clever Lawyer

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, h...e 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.

Clear, concise, but with heart

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.

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

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 harmon...ized 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.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
