Joseph Mariner Gerstenzang

Joseph Gerstenzang was very diligent in my defense and ensuring the best possible outcome. Mr Gerstenzang fought and advocated for me in DMV court and in the local town court while keeping a very open line of communication with me every step of the way and I am very pleased with the effort and outcom...e of his work. I would highly recommend hiring him as he will certainly will be very diligent in fighting for you.

Mr. Gerstenzang is the best at what he does. His extensive knowledge of the law added comfort to my legal journey. Mr. Gerstenzang exhuberated confidence with class throughout the legal process in and out of court. Every bit of his advice was spot on accurate and pertinent to the outstanding disposi...tion I received from the court. Mr Gerstenzang provided an abundance of time to make case options clear, discussed legal strategies, shared exactly how the processes would unfold from beginning to end and did so with accuracy. Without reservation, I highly recommend Mr. Gerstenzang for any criminal legal matters. I am confident he will provide nothing short of his absolute best.

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.

The things you never knew you’d need from a lawyer seem to be the most important things. Joe was not just knowledgeable and personable, but clearly was able to read me and what I needed, would struggle with, and help me to prepare for what lay ahead. Not only was he able to get me a great outcome in ...court, but he was also able to twist my viewpoint a few times to set me up for the hows and whys things are done in the world that is so foreign, and sometimes infuriating, to me. Couldn’t recommend Joe more, he was absolutely fabulous… gps while you’re driving a harrowing cliff in the fog. He’s clear and honest about potential outcomes and helps you to do what you need to do to get through your legal issues.

I Hired Joe to represent me for two tickets I plead guilty to not knowing that the outcome would be losing my license. After a year of going without a license Joe filed motions and worked with district attorneys to change the original plea of guilty and have the other charge dismissed completely. He ...pulled this all of in a very timely manner as this happened during COVID any many courts weren’t open. He was upfront with the chances of outcome right from the start. Highly recommend to anyone seeking great,honest legal representation.
