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

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.

Good experience

Josh was the attorney who did a lot of the ground work when I hired John Carney to resolve a shoplifting case against my niece. Most of the communication happened with John. My niece was accused of shoplifting while visiting NY/USA 3 yrs. back. She had left the case unattended. This became an issue l...ast year when she applied for a student visa to come to US for higher studies. John and Josh were able to get her a 6 month ACD. Not perfect -- the pending dismissal probably contributed to the denial of her visa -- but given that the case had been left unattended for 2 years, and had to be resolved in her absence, it was a pretty satisfactory resolution. After the passage of 6 months I contacted Josh to get a new COD confirming that the case had been formally dismissed. Josh was very responsive and courteous, and quick to get me copies of the COD. His charge was quite reasonable -- I was very pleased.

Amazing attorney- true professional and a gentleman

Joshua Stevens was a miracle worker for my husbands case. I attempted to contact multiple lawyers through Avvo at such a late hour and he was the only one to pick up the phone. From the moment I first spoke with him after my husbands initial arrest (which was after 11pm at night), he put the motions ...in work; making all necessary phone calls- starting from the precinct, to the courts and then back to myself to relay the information. He was contactable all through the night to assure my worries. First thing the next morning I met him bright and early at the criminal court. We briefly discussed logistics and then Joshua had my husband free within a half hour. For the next couple of months I could tell by his initiative in following up with us when we were slack on our end, that he genuinely cared about our predicament. He was prudent in his work and prepared my husband in order to present him in the best possible light leading up to our next court appearance. He talked us through every part of the process in laments terms both via phone calls, texts, emails and in person at his office in Manhattan. He gave us multiple options he had negotiated with the ADA (assistant district attorney in charge of prosecuting my husbands case) which we could chose from. Together we weighed each option in great detail before making our decision. Whilst there was so much work put into my husbands case that I am sure we were unaware of, I could tell that Joshua had a solid understanding of our situation, a friendly relationship with the ADA, and yet completely solid intentions to keep my husband and myself free from any dire straits. The morning of my husbands arraignment date, we were relieved to find Joshua had been at the courts long beforehand, talking with both the ADA and the city's correctional officers to discuss my husbands case and later placement. From what initially was a felony arrest (felony possession with a sale), my husband now has nothing more than a misdemeanor (disorderly conduct) on his record. Rather than choosing a lengthy drug rehabilitation program, we opted for a short prison sentence, which thanks to Joshua and his clever strategizing, ended up only being less than forty eight hours of incarceration. Mr Stevens is an outstanding attorney who cares fully about his clients and their loved ones. I cannot recommend him enough. Whilst I hope a similar situation never comes to fruition, he will of course be the first person I call for any and/or all future issues. Joshua- Thank You!
