Steven Marc Raiser

I cannot recommend Raiser & Kenniff, P.C. highly enough. They represented a family friend in a very serious criminal case that went through a long and difficult jury trial. From start to finish, their professionalism, preparation, and dedication were outstanding. The attorneys were extremely knowl...edgeable, detail-oriented, and relentless in defending his rights. They took the time to explain every step of the process, kept me informed, and never gave up—even when the case felt overwhelming. Their courtroom strategy and trial skills showed their deep experience in criminal defense. Thanks to their hard work and commitment, the jury returned a NOT GUILTY verdict. That result changed his life, and I will always be grateful to this legal team. If you are facing serious criminal charges and need attorneys who truly fight for you, Raiser & Kenniff is the firm you want on your side.

A call from a police station letting you know that your child has been arrested, is up there on the list of something a parent never wants to experience. Having had that horrible experience, I can say it would have been way worse if it weren’t for Mr. Steven Raiser. Starting from a midnight run to th...e courthouse in NYC, getting my child released, to the countless hours spent working on our behalf, ultimately resulting in the case being DISMISSED. The arrest and charges were unjust, but in today’s climate, very serious, and could have had life altering consequences. Because of Stevens diligence and expertise, we can all move on from this nightmare, Case Dismissed!

The representation I have received from Steve Raiser and the law firm of Raiser and Kenniff has been outstanding, if words can be enough to describe. I could have spent the majority, or even the rest of my life incarcerated. The ability to provide for my family, and to prove my worth as a decent ma...n going forward in society was due to the hard work, knowledge and extreme talent of Steve, all of the firms lawyers and staff. There isnt better representation at any price, it is a rarity. Good luck and God bless to all.

This review was a long time coming and I am writing this to the benefit of anyone reading who might be in the position I was in- panicked during a late night Google search with a Suffolk County DUI charge complete with damning blood results during a terrible time in my life. I had never been in any k...ind of trouble before and had a new nursing career to worry about. If you find yourself in a position like this, take it from me. It is worth it to you to reach out to this attorney and have the conversation you need to have about your circumstances. Steve Raiser was able to get my charges completely dismissed and I ended up with a speeding ticket instead. Unbelievable. I did a lot of research and interviewed a number of people when looking to hire who I felt was the best lawyer. Its the one thing you have a say in when something like this suddenly happens to you. The strong reviews here on Avvo led me to Mr. Raiser and his firm and after meeting with him - I made one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself and hired him. Some of the things that I found to be consistently true throughout the year+ that my case took: Steve was very transparent about the entire process and what I could expect. I never had to contend with that feeling of being "sold". There were no lofty promises of legal salvation. We discussed facts, possibilities, and strategies. I was able to trust him to present the strongest options and follow through on them. He was very patient with my bastion of questions; many of which I would ask repeatedly because to be frank it was very hard for a lot of this to sink in at first. I appreciated the clarity, the steady management of my expectations which I felt empowered me to be prepared for whatever the outcome may have been (which is saying a LOT because I was an anxious mess!), and the ease in which I could get in touch with him at any point throughout the year. He always returns calls and emails quickly and you get the sense that your case matters well after the checks clear. This is not to be taken for granted in any industry. He was on the ball. I am still floored at the phenomenal results Steve Raiser was able to achieve on my behalf - hence the long review. Having my charges ultimately dismissed was better than I dared to hope for. I'm grateful that Avvo exists because when it's your life on the line, it is not the time for vague suggestions on who might know what to do in front of a judge. This is why I am not mincing words. Finally, I think it says a lot when you look to hire someone in a field like this where many of us are going in blind and are at the mercy of the attorney's work ethic, competence, billing schedule, and all sorts of intangible variables that equal significant amounts of funds. They cannot promise you any outcomes. This is an attorney who actually loves what he does and is excellent in his chosen field. It showed in every facet of this entire ordeal and it's why I was able to get through it. Steve Raiser is worth every red cent and then some. He has my highest recommendation and I am grateful for his excellent work on my case.

Steve Raiser is truly the best criminal lawyer there is. I retained Steve to address some serious and nerve racking matters, that only someone with his experience could have handled. From the time he enters the courtroom he commands respect. It’s only after he goes in front of the judge states his... name, practice and address is when the magic happens. The way he interacts with the judges, prosecutors, and court personnel is impressive. I had many questions and concerns which he and his staff were always available to address. Steve laid out a strategic game plan and also a back -up plan, which both had favorable outcomes. If you are going into battle in the court system you definitely need Steve. He knows his stuff!!!!!
