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

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.
