Extremely happy with my lawyer!
I have known Stephen Orsetti for over 12yrs. He helped me with my divorce case 10yrs ago. He was my closing attorney when I bought my house and when I sold it 8yrs later and moved to NC. Even though I'm in NC now, Stephen is always glad to answer any legal questions I may have. I have and will continue to highly recommend Stephen Orsetti to all my NY friends and family

Review for Stephen Orsetti
This lawyer was very helpful settling my deceased mother's estate. He dealt with probate, through the court system. He helped with the closing of my mother's condo. He gave good advice about how to set up(with a very good recommendation) an estate account with a bank. He was responsible for distribution of the assets, according to the will. Overall, an excellent job!

Friction-fee service in a real estate transaction
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! The process of closing on our first home went smoothly thank to Stephen and his team. They were detail oriented, timely and highly responsive. A real estate transaction has a lot of moving parts, but we were able to leverage Stephen's expertise to get to closing on time and without any issues.

Great lawyer with a great attitude
Steve is a wonderful guy who knows what he's doing and pays close attention not only to his own work but the work of others involved in a transaction. He caught mistakes made by others on several occasions, any one of which could have - if left unfixed - tanked my closing.

Great Attorney!
I was t-boned by another driver in March of 2019 and, as a result, ended up needing shoulder surgery in February of 2020. I consulted with a different attorney right after the accident and was given bad information. A couple of weeks after my surgery when the other attorney was still not being very helpful, I got in touch with Stephen and the rest, as they say, was history. Stephen took my case close to a year after the accident and hit the floor running! I honestly had no idea how much my case was worth, but he got me much more than I was expecting, and did so in a seamless and painless way. Stephen was so easy to work with, and just seems like a really nice, down-to-earth guy. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal services!

My mothers estate
Not only was he an excellent attorney, very professional but with a personal touch. The entire matter was handled expeditiously. Every stage from beginning of probate to end was fully explained. Calls and questions always answered. At a difficult time having lost my Mom it was both comforting and refreshing to deal with Mr. Orsetti. Great attorney.
