Open Container summons in back in 2014

Posted by RaulSat Aug 10 2019

It has been so long since Mr. Jason handled my case, but I have to say that he is amazing. Back in those days, I was facing and open container case and he assured me that everything was going to be alright. The summons was dismissed ! Great work!

Public Urination Pink Summons: Section 16-118(6)

Posted by JASONTue Jun 18 2019

Jason was very helpful and knowledgable throughout the whole process, from initial consultation to the providing representation at the hearing - which was subsequently successfully dismissed. Jason has a vast amount of experience dealing with and navigating issues at OATH Court and as a result my matter was successfully dismissed. Very reachable throughout the whole process and very intricate in preparation, I was very confident with his representation. I highly recommend Jason Stern due to his knowledge of the NYC Courts, his attention to the details of the case and his approach to preparing me for my hearing.
