LAWYER EXTRAORDINAIRE!

There are not enough words of thanks that I can utilize to express my gratitude to Mr. Joshua Stevens for all that he did for my son who got himself into trouble numerous times within the past year, he just did not become our lawyer, he became my sons counselor and our family's savior. From the first... call to Mr. Stevens he assessed my son's case and got him referred to the YCP Program at the Brooklyn District Attorney Office. Within this program the youth offender has to remain compliant to the program and the court for 1 full year, then; on successful completion their record would be expunged. Mr Stevens never, not even once during this long rocky year did he ever miss a court date, or threaten to drop the case when my son continued to be non-compliant. He would give my son "the talk" and let him know that he was his own worst enemy and remind him of his gravely ill father and his struggling but loyal mother. Because of Mr Stevens my son is free today and aiming for a better life ahead because someone like Joshua instead of giving up on him mentored him because he saw the best in my son. So you might be thinking that all of this might have cost us our home, no not at all, we paid the retainer and as the year went along I did struggled sometimes to pay the fees but not once did Mr. Stevens make me feel pressured. I still feel that we owe Mr. Stevens so much more for all that he has done to save our only son from ruin. God truly blessed the day that I was referred to Mr. Joshua Stevens Esq. He is truly an earth angel. Please do not hesitate one second in retaining this dear man as your attorney! He loves his job as is so apparent; and you will never regret the choice you made.

Excellent counsel for any criminal matter

I was recommended Josh by a friend who has had many successful dealings with him in the past. after my friend asked him to reach out he called me right away to see how he could help. the next day i was in his office and he immediately put me at ease about my case, explained all procedures, listened a...nd took notes. naturally i did a bunch of my own research into my case before coming to see him and any question i asked him he was right on the ball. knew it all !! He was on time to all of the hearings and had a great rapport with the court personnel - got me to the front of the line every time. to me he is a genuine guy and i always had the feeling he cared about my needs every step of the way. in the end he got me the best deal with the court that i could have hoped for AND got a second charge dismissed. couldn't have hoped for any better results. he was even very affordable and let me work out a payment system - it was easy! Now I'm entrusting him with another matter - a civil one and am confident he'll get me the result i want. thanks again Josh! G

Trustworthy, Fair, and Compassionate

I am thankful for having been put in touch with Josh through John Carney. Josh is compassionate, straight-foward, and patient. From arrest to conviction my case went on almost a whole year and he did a fantastic job keeping me focused and determined to overcome my mistake. I am a first-time offend...er, charged with a class E felony, unlawful surveillance in the second degree, was facing SORA registration and jail time. Josh was able to reduce my sentence to a very reasonable plea bargain. Not only that, but whenever I worried about my future; career, family, as a citizen, he went above and beyond to help me see reason and give me hope. Even when I doubted his advice, time has continued to show that he was right.

Best attorney in NYC

Mr Stevens fought long and hard for me to beat out a possession case that was pretty serious. As a recovering addict I don't mind speaking freely about it now. I was caught with a lot of heroin and Xanax in NYC on October of 2014. Josh took the case on and worked with me financially from then get go.... It was obvious he had experience in this area and he was genuinely worried about my criminal record. Over the course of the case he never lost optimism even when I did at times because of how slow things seemed to be moving. All in all he was able to be me off with a disorderly conduct violation and a small fine to pay!!!! Pretty awesome. He is knowladgable and obviously has some experience with the DA' s office. If you run into trouble or need help in the N.Y. area turn to this guy. He's no nonsense and just a decent human being who's looking for the best outcome for his clients.aa

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)...

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."
