Joseph Mariner Gerstenzang

Joe was fantastic from day one of my case. He knows his DWI law like no other and was able to get my charges reduced significantly. He clearly explained and outlined his idea and plan my case and executed it to the letter. In addition, Joe made excellent recommendations to me for self improvement and... recovery. Joe is professional, personable, and tireless. I cannot recommend enough.

Joe Gerstenzang was the best decision I could have made for myself regarding my legal trouble. He is forthright, accountable, proficient, communicative, and creative with his interpretation of the law. I had a second DWI approximately one year after my first, and was looking down the barrel of so...me harsh and seemingly endless penalties. Joe made me feel extremely confident and well represented throughout the process and in the courtroom. And he was able to achieve the results I was hoping for. My first impression was that Joe was realistic and honest with me. We went over my case, which had been delayed for 10+ months due to covid court closures. Joe was honest with me about how he thought my case looked, and we made decisions from there. The decisions we made felt collaborative and I always felt like my voice was heard, and my story was understood. Proceeding from there, Joe was able to negotiate a deal that I found extremely generous. One thing that really stood out to me: Due to covid court closures where I live, I was not able to drive for a very long time, as my case had remained stagnant while my license revocation remained in place. By the time the courts opened back up, I was not set to get my license back for a long time. The court did not want to recognize this closure time as time served of any suspension. This is where Joe got creative. I don't exactly know how he did it, but Joe was able to get creative with his interpretation of law. He got me on the road again. Had I hired a lesser lawyer, I may have been Uber-bound for another 6-12 months. Joe was always in communication with me, always willing to talk on the phone. He took things seriously. This told me that he understood how serious these matters were for me. Even as my case seemed like it was set to wrap itself up, Joe was in contact about little small details that I would have not thought about. I cannot recommend Mr. Gerstenzang enough. I have known people who have hired lesser lawyers for DWIs in NY, most likely to save a bit of money, and I've heard horror stories. Whatever amount you save on a cheap lawyer, you will end up paying more in the long run, both with your wallet, time, and your peace of mind. It's worth it. Thank you Joe.

I can't praise Attorney Gerstenzang enough for the way he handled my son's DWI case in NY several years ago. He's knowledgeable, personable, honest, and extremely competent. We're from MA, and I greatly appreciated his ability to communicate by phone, email, and text in a timely manner. Joe guided... us through the entire process in NY, and made a stressful time for us much easier. Fast forward to a few days ago when my son received a letter from the MA RMV stating that his license in MA has been suspended because of the DWI in NY. I contacted Joe again, and within one day he obtained and sent me a document from the court that will be used to clear my son's suspension in MA. Joe's willingness to help my son several years after his case was closed in NY is a testimony to the dedication he has to his clients. While I hope I don't need an attorney in NY again, I won't hesitate to call Joe if I ever do!

When facing what seemed to be an insurmountable task of getting my license reinstated after multiple DWI offenses, Joe Gerstenzang provided exemplary representation. Together with his colleague, Matt, who was also instrumental in winning the case, I felt completely confident in their expertise in ...DWI law which is unparalleled by any other law firm in the area. Thanks to Joe Gerstenzang and Matt I am now able to successfully find work in the automotive field . Thanks guys you are the best!

After blowing a .09 at a DUI checkpoint, I found myself in a precarious legal situation because I had been convicted of DWAI in 2013, just within 5 years of the second arrest. Given this, two lawyers I had spoken to essentially told me I was SOL due to the prior conviction. By the time Joe took on my... case, I had accepted that I would have a criminal record, in addition to losing my license with no opportunity for a conditional or hardship license for work. To my utter disbelief, Joe not only managed to get the DUI charge reduced to DWAI, but also finagled a deal where I could maintain my full driving privileges until our next court appearance two months later so I could finish out the remainder of my contractual job. This was beyond what I thought possible since I had a prior conviction, especially when two other DUI lawyers told me my case was relatively hopeless. I cannot thank him enough for what he has done for me, my case, my job and my life, and will confidently say there is no better lawyer than Joe Gerstenzang if you find yourself with a DUI.
