Eric Edward Rothstein

We hired Mr. Rothstein to represent us for a first degree assault case with less than a month before the trial. He was very fair in assessing all possible outcomes of our case. With his experience, intelligence and overall case management, we were able to get a not guilty verdict. We are now praying ...thanks to the Lord for directing us to avvo.com to find Mr Rothstein. We are so very grateful and wholeheartedly expressing our gratitude to Mr Rothstein.

If you're a guy who's been arrested for the first time and are facing serious charges please don't look anywhere else, hire Mr Rothstein right away. I was facing 3rd degree assault charges(PL 120.00) after hitting a girl who assaulted me by hitting me in the face, even though I hit her in self-defens...e I was the one who was arrested and charged. I hired Mr Rothstein due to his 20+ years of extensive experience in criminal law and his expertise in helping men who have been unfairly charged with crimes that they didn't even commit, if you're a guy who's been wrongfully accused of assault, sexual harassment, rape or any charge by a woman that is false please don't even bother with other lawyers, contact Mr Rothstein right away. Mr Rothstein is very professional, respectful, courteous, very intelligent, and diligent. He was always on time in court, answers his emails very fast, always returns phone calls and will strive for the best outcome possible. I can promise anybody that he takes very good care of his clients. Eventually Mr Rothstein convinced the ADA to dismiss the case, the charges ended up being dropped and the records were sealed, as a result I have no criminal record and don't have to worry about being denied housing or a job. I know that getting arrested and facing criminal charges can be extremely nerve-wracking and worrisome especially if you're a guy in this day and age, but if you hire Mr Rothstein you'll be in good hands.

I retained Mr. Rothstein for a misdemeanor assault case. I would like to say three things to illustrate how good he was. First of all, Mr. Rothstein gave very accurate predictions on what would happen in each step of the process, from arraignment to court hearings. In particular, his assessment of wh...at would happen was all very accurate. This must be based on his many years of experience. Secondly, he was fully aware of all the tools and strategies he could use to tackle the case and explained DA's possible actions and his strategies very clearly. So you know that he's very well prepared. He responded to emails in a very timely fashion. Lastly, his fee was very reasonable compared to other criminal lawyers. In the end, the case was dismissed, the best outcome that could be achieved. So I would highly recommend him for criminal cases and strongly recommend you contact him at least for the initial consultation. You will likely be able to tell the difference right away.

In April I was involved in an altercation with a male stranger while in New York. I was charged with PL 120.00 01. I felt very strongly that I had a justification defense, so after reading several profiles on Avvo, I selected Mr. Rothstein as my defense lawyer. He seemed highly knowledgeable and I wa...s impressed by the number of positive reviews that his other clients had shared of their outcomes. After briefing him on the phone of my situation, we met at his office in NY where more details were presented. He acted quickly and kept me informed throughout the entire process, explaining legal terms, etc. I was SO nervous as this was my first (and definitely last!) time ever being arrested and given a desk appearance ticket. He was nice and made me feel at ease, and was actually quite humorous at times! The whole process lasted nearly 5 months, with three court appearances in total. I'm probably not wording this properly, but the first time I went to court (June) was to see if I would be offered some type of plea bargain, although I learned that offers are not normally made in arraignments on assault cases. The second time I went to court (August) was to see if the male stranger had signed the supporting deposition. He had not, and if memory serves me correctly, I was offered a deal of pleading guilty and then having the charge removed from my record after some time had elapsed. We did not accept the deal. A month later (September) I went back to court and the case was dismissed!! I was so relieved and happy, and I knew that it was because I had a great lawyer on my side defending me. I would definitely recommend Eric Rothstein to anyone who has a criminal charge made against them.

Facing criminal charges can be a very scary and challenging moment in anyone's life. It becomes especially challenging when trying to sort through hundreds of attorneys to find the one best attorney to represent you and your rights and future. I spent several restless days researching the charges I f...aced and trying to find the best suitable attorney to represent me, for a reasonable price of course. After having spoken to numerous attorneys, i came across Eric's profile on Avvo and had to gave him a call. With his immense knowledge of the criminal law and tremendous enthusiasm to help, he Immediately stood out from the rest and i felt very comfortable having him represent me. He kept me informed throughout the long and enduring process and always did his best given the circumstances. Very punctual man - He was always on time to court, always answered phone calls and texts on time. Eric was able to use his extensive knowledge of the legal system in our favor and had the assault case completely dismissed and sealed whereas other attorneys i spoke to were gearing towards an ACD/Probation (as a best case scenario!) Not sure where id have been without Eric's help but im very thankful i came across his profile on here. Also, he charged nearly HALF of what other Attorneys were asking. He was a blessing.
