"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 known Alvin Spitzer for more than 20 years and have dealt with him professionally when I worked as a prosecutor in the Rockland County District Attorney’s Office and later, as a fellow criminal defense attorney. 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."
"Al Spitzer is a highly respect and accomplished criminal defense attorney. He is a dean of the Rockland County Bar. We became acquainted over 20 years ago. Always with a kind word, advocating to protect and promote the rights of his clients, that is Al."
"Attorney Alvin Leon Spitzer is an excellent criminal defense lawyer, and a wonderful member of the NYSACDL."
"Alvin Spitzer brings his many years of legal experience to every matter he handles. He clearly understands the difficulties of client's cases and counsels them based upon his knowledge of the courtroom, judges and adversaries. I highly endorse Alvin Spitzer."
"It's clear from Mr. Spitzer's answers on Avvo, which he graciously provides the public, that he is thoughtful, knowledgeable, compassionate and has a keen understanding of the law. I would not hesitate to hire him if I ever needed an attorney, and I'm an attorney. He demonstrates every quality that makes for a great attorney."
"I have worked both with and against Mr. Spitzer on complex family and matrimonial matters and fully endorse him."
"Al Spitzer is a dedicated and talented attorney with an impeccable reputation among the bench and bar. At the negotiating table and in the courtroom he is a powerful advocate. He's the kind of experienced and talented attorney any client should want in his or her corner. I would recommend him highly. Ethical and professional."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have had the pleasure of knowing this lawyer both personally and professionally. From my very first internship in undergrad to my current interactions and observations in the court room, I've witnessed his firm grasp of the law and his dedication to his clients. He is an undoubted asset to any client who requires a seasoned attorney on their side."
"I have known Al Spritzer for years and we have been adversaries on many cases. Al is a good litigator and always advocates zealously for his clients. He is also an excellent criminal defense attorney."
