Best in the Business - Highly Recommend

Josh Stevens is THE guy for criminal defense in NY. He is experienced, extremely knowledgeable and reasonable. Josh was proactive, relentless, and an exceptional communicator. He took the time often outside normal business hours to respond immediately, ensuring I felt confident and informed at every ...step of the process. Within the courthouse, I noticed Josh was widely respected by both his fellow attorneys and courtroom staff which I believe is a clear testament to his exceptional courtroom presence and overall professionalism. Josh is simply authentic and the best money can buy. I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have worked with him.

Outstanding Legal Counsel with a Lasting Impact

I hired this attorney in 2016 during one of the most critical and stressful periods of my life. His representation was nothing short of phenomenal. He handled all of my legal matters with expertise, integrity, and unwavering dedication. Because of his skill and strategic guidance, I was able to prote...ct my future and ultimately obtain my professional degree — something that could have easily been jeopardized without his help. Nearly ten years later, I again needed legal assistance to demonstrate my integrity to a governmental agency. Without hesitation, he stepped in and efficiently obtained records and documentation that would have taken me an overwhelming amount of time — and frankly, would not have been possible for me to navigate alone. His knowledge of the system and professional reputation continue to speak for themselves. His commitment to his clients does not end when a case closes. His reputation, professionalism, and results truly stand the test of time. I whole heartedly recommend his services to anyone seeking knowledgeable, reliable, and dedicated legal representation. Thank you Joshua for all you have done not only for me, my career, and my family.

Got 10 years probation down to 6 (possibly 3)

I hired Josh because I was falsely accused of something. With Josh’s help, I was able to avoid having felony charges on my record. He also reduced the terms of my probation significantly (no curfew etc) and knocked my probation time down from 10 years to 6. We’re pretty sure he’ll get that down to 3.... Will be working on that with Josh in a year or so.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Mr. Stevens on many cases and he is a very talented and well respected lawyer who really cares about his clients and getting the best results in every case. He is always courteous, prompt, and very well prepared for every court appearance. He always answers his phone or promptly returns his calls and that is what you would expect from a lawyer who understands that clients want to be able to reach their attorney with questions and concerns and not have to wait days for a return call. He has won complete dismissals on over a dozen cases that I referred to him or worked with him on and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a criminal lawyer in New York. His fees are often half of what other lawyers ask and that is one of the other reasons that I refer so many cases to him when I am unable to make the appearance."
