Peter Gerstenzang

Nothing is more demoralizing than being charged with a DWI. I know because it happened to me twice but remember you have only been charged; you have been convicted of nothing. That’s where the Gerstenzang Law Firm comes into play. Peter Gerstenzang has written the book on DWI law and nobody knows ...it better. The law clerk in my first case all most fell over when he walked in, she had been to many of Peters seminars. My second case the Judge says Mr. Gerstenzang it is an honor to have you in my courtroom. From the first time you talk to Peter you will get the sense that dam this guy believes he’s going to win and it will relieve the pressure you have been under believe me. This is the best DWI law firm in the country bar none. Do not let anyone talk you into getting anyone else or settling for DWAI, get your charges dismissed. If your officer made any mistake with ticket, probable cause, roadside test or the machine, they will find it and your problem will be solved. If you are considering the Gerstenzang Law Firm, you have found the best, now hire them. Unfortunately, 4 of my friends have also had to use them so now whenever someone get in trouble, we just call the” Eliminator”.

Words cannot express how grateful I am to Peter and his firm. Peter not only has a passion for his work but is immensely knowledgeable. During the initial consultation, he spent over an hour discussing the incident and possible defenses. During our conversation, I felt that he truly cared and want...ed to help. His insight into DWI laws is unmatched and after our initial phone call, I immediately felt like I was in good hands. After retaining Peter he continued to be available for any questions or concerns that I had. This was very reassuring as my case was fairly complex and involved a lot of moving parts. Peter made it a point to drive from Albany to Suffolk County where the incident occurred to meet me for my court appearance. Unfortunately, I was facing my second DWI in just under 10 years, which carried serious consequences. Peter was always open and honest about the situation and never promised a particular outcome. Fortunately, Peter was able to knock my charge down to a violation, which is truly a miracle. Peter is highly regarded by his peers and I could not imagine having anyone else represent me through this unfortunate time. Without a doubt, I would recommend Peter to anyone looking for a dedicated, hard-working and truly passionate attorney.

Peter is, without doubt, the best attorney in this area of law in the North East and maybe the country. More importantly, he truly cares about his clients ( hard to believe in an attorney). The first and foremost concern he had, was that I get help for my drinking problem. If I wasn't willing to d...o that, than he would not take my case. I consider him part of my asset team that I use to stay sober and to get my life back together. I also consider him to be a friend. Everyone knows him and everyone respects him, including most importantly the judge. Without a doubt, he provided me with the best possible legal advice and service and it was at a reasonable price. Because I was willing to do exactly what he asked, we were able to get an unprecedented sentence. I can recommend him, without any reservation, to anyone willing to be honest about their legal problems and take responsibility for creating them. When I first spoke with him, he said he "hoped one day I would look back on my arrest as the best day of my life". I can honestly say that today, I feel that this is true. He has helped to give me my life back and for this, I will always owe a debt of gratitude. He is simply, the Best!

I contacted Peter after being accused of a second DWI offense, which in New York State, is a felony and a certain career-ender, as I am an attorney. I remembered his name from a seminar I attended years ago that he was teaching for attorneys regarding DWI defense. Peter was immediately responsive a...nd advised me of the severity of the situation and my possible options. Moreover, he knew the district attorney and was familiar with all local courts and judges. Essentially, I was looking at possible jail time and likely disbarment. After extensive negotiations, I was afforded the opportunity to plead to a misdemeanor upon certain conditions. Among them was enrollment in the NYC Bar Association's Attorney Assistance Program, which aids lawyers with substance abuse or other problems. In addition, I agreed to wear an alcohol-sensing anklet for a year and attend AA meetings on a daily basis. I completed this program and was able to enter the reduced plea. I mention the above as I believe it was the first time ever that an offender in my situation was able to avoid a felony conviction without jail time, if at all. This I attribute to Peter's knowledge and creativity in suggesting and fashioning such an approach. Peter saved my career. I can fully recommend Peter and his firm (his son Joseph and associate Jim Davis were also of great help). As a final footnote, through Peter's sharp insistence and the Attorney Assistance Program, I was able to put alcohol behind me for good, and am grateful for the freedom that has bestowed upon me.

I won't get into details but the severity of the crime would have ruined my life. I was falsely accused and Mr. Gerstenzang not only saw that but sought to it that justice prevailed in the end and I would not be found guilty. He did everything he possibly could, he would work tirelessly to make sure ...every detail of everything was covered/said/written down. There wasn't a stone un-turned and it was a massive relief having him on my side. I quite honestly wouldn't be in the spot I am now without him, he is a passionate, caring and loyal attorney who knows the law like the back of his hand and will do everything in his power to make sure his clients receive the best outcome possible.
