Mr. Spitzer has represented me for years in business and real estate matters. But where he really shines is his criminal defense skills One of the best trial attorneys I have ever seen.
Every friend or associate I sent to Mr. Spitzer has amazing results and we’re surprised by the quality of his representation.
This area includes all types of Real Estate cases, Landlord-Tenant and House Purchases and Sales. I also work on Business Agreements , Incorporation and other areas.
58 years
I HAVE BEEN PRACTICING FOR 55 YEARS. MAINLY IN THE CRIMINAL DEFENSE AND MATRIMONIAL/FAMILY LAW AREAS, ALTHOUGH I DO HANDLE OTHER MATTERS. I AM HIGHLY RESPECTED BY JUDGES, COURT OFFICERS, COURT CLERKS AND OTHER ATTORNEYS FOR MY DEDICATION TO MY CLIENTS, MY KNOWLEDGE OF THE LAW AND MY COURTROOM ABILITIES. I HAVE ALSO HANDLED A NUMBER OF LOCAL HIGH PROFILE CASES AND BEEN A COMMENTATOR ON COURT TV.

The Best Legal Rep you can get!
We used him with an apartment closing and he was superb!
Very reliable and knew exactly what he was doing at every step of the way!
If you want to sleep better at night get Alvin!
I couldn't recommend him enough!

ALVIN SPITZER
Alvin is a true stand up lawyer. Always a gentleman with his client and the court. He is NOT a thief. He always makes time to discuss the issues. As a retired cop I thought I knew the law well. Alvin taught me many things that I did not know. He has a expert command of the law. But more important is how he treats all the people he encounters. This asset is far more important than most think. Being the gentleman he is permits him to strike deals that otherwise would not be secured by an obnoxious lawyer.
I trust Alvin with all my legal issues. There is not a better lawyer out there.
I have the utmost respect for this man. Something I cannot say for every lawyer I encountered.

Alvin is a highly dedicated and professional attorney. He has a command of both family and criminal law and I have used him on many of occasion. I could not have been more satisfied with the outcomes of his services. As a retired police chief with almost 30 years of service I have bounced many of my past experiences with him. He was always right on the money even when I thought I was correct about a given situation. I have become friends with Alvin over the many years and he has always been there for my family and I.

Thanks to my friend, Al, who can always depend on me and whom I can on. He truly exemplifies and portrays all a police officer should be, especially a Chief.

"I have known Alvin for years. He is a great attorney and gets along very well with the players in court, especially judges. This is very important for any attorney to have in order to be more effective. Alvin is great at tackling complicated matters and has always been a solid source to bounce ideas off of and discuss legal issues with. He is also a super dapper dresser! I always enjoy talking with Al when I see him in court."

I have always enjoyed watching him in court and to this day, I never fail to learn something from him during his court appearances and trials. In addition to the fact that he is an extremely knowledgeable, experienced and well respected attorney, Alvin is a gentleman in every sense of the word."
