Professional and Affordable

I came to Josh after looking up several other law firms who seemed to charge an absorbent amount of money for what seemed like a pretty straight forward case. Josh attended every court date and was able to put me at ease about my case as he explained the court proceedings and likely outcomes as they ...unfolded. He fought and got me a lesser charge without trying to "hustle" me out of more money. Very personable and friendly guy. Would definitely recommend him to friends and family.

The lawyer you want in your corner!

Josh Stevens went above and beyond for me and I am truly grateful. I was facing a legal issue that would leave me a criminal record. I work abroad and I need to have a clean record for my work clearance. He was able to make a plea with the D.A. and got me only a violation. I have never once been in t...rouble with the law. The intricate details of the whole legal system were truly foreign to me. If the court was like a symphony, Josh was Mozart. He was the conductor walking me through every step of the way. Even while I was back at work outside of United States, we would communicate via email or Face Time. Jos was professional, helpful and to the point throughout the whole ordeal. He has the experience, knowledge and determination to fight for the best deal possible. Josh is the lawyer you want in your corner. I would hire him again if needed.

Great Lawyer

Josh Stevens is a very down to earth, relatable lawyer. He is available when you need him. He was able to change the date of my court appointment and I ended up getting an ACD. He knows what he is doing and will help you get the best possible decision available.

Josh is the Best.....

I never met a lawyer so on top of things like Josh. I was confused and did not understand anything about my case and one conversation with josh; my mind was put to rest. I told him all that i knew and he was already at the court. He answered all my questions, and made me realize i was not alone. Josh... would be the perfect lawyer for any case if you ask me, because he cares. It feels really good to know i have a lawyer like him on speed dial. lol He is very straight forward and gets to the point of the problem. Not one of those steal your money and leave you clueless lawyers. He does a very great job, and i will surely use him again. (HOPE NOT)...

excellent lawyer and an awesome guy to have on your side

Josh helped me on a case just recently. I had a misdemeanor possession charge. The DA was giving me a hard time and not negotiating much which would leave me with a misdemeanor on my record. Josh worked with me financially and was able to get the charge brought down to a violation. He was always posi...tive from the beginning and really concerned about keeping my record clean for job interviews and everything else. He checked In With me all the time and kept me informed. I really don't think many other lawyers would have been so devoted to getting such a turnout for their client especially when the prosecutor was playing hardball. He knew exactly how to handle it and walked me through what I needed to do. Great guy to talk to and I would recommend him as the #1 lawyer to go to if your in a sticky situation. Seriously, I have had quite a few other lawyers over the years but I would use Josh again in a heartbeat.

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."

  • 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.
