The Best In The Business

Mr. Gerstenzang and his associates Jim Davis and Jon Cohn are the epitome of professionalism, diligence and legal acumen. My case was handled without flaw or blemish and they eradicated what could have been a career threatening issue. When I arrived in the office for the initial consultation and brow...sed the textbook Mr. G. authored; I immediately felt a sense of relief. From start to dismissal, my case was handled with confidence and dexterity. I recommend this team led by Mr. Gerstenzang unequivocally and unanimously. H. Daryl Jones

I DON'T KNOW WHAT MY LIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE IF I DID NOT FIND OUT ABOUT MR. GERSTENZANG AND HIS TOP FIRM!!!!

I was charged with a DWI 4 months ago. The severity of this incident intensified due to the fact that I refused the breathalyzer test, there was also property damage and I have a CDL license. Initially, I was referred to an attorney in hopes that he would be able to help with these charges, but I w...as somewhat skeptical about the outcome. I decided to ask around to see if I could find another attorney who deals with similar cases like this (CDL/DWI). Luckily, I was referred to Peter Gerstenzang, Esq. (Super Lawyer) and his firm. I immediately called Mr. Gerstenzang and his reassurance made me feel like I still had a fighting chance! I must also commend his associate, James Davis, Esq., who represented me for my first appearance at the DMV for the refusal part. He was extremely supportive and did an amazing job! He is forever in my heart!! After the first step was complete, I now had to wait for the second part, criminal charges. On August 20th, I received a phone call from Mr. Gerstenzang explaining that the DA had no choice but to dismiss my case and drop all charges due to a loop-hole which was discovered by Mr. Gerstenzang's son, Joseph. (We thank you too)! My family and I cannot thank Mr. Gerstenzang and his team enough for their hard work, professionalism, and dedication throughout this process. I don't know where I would be if it wasn't for this A team. We will be forever grateful for everything you and your amazing team have done for us! Thank you!

A good Lawyer is as imortant as a good Doctor

There is nothing worst than learning your graduate studies daughter is involved in a dwi summons. Feeling helpless I called an Attorney friend and asked his advise on what to do. He assured me that the reprsentation Peter Gerstensang would provide was who I needed . I spoke with Peter and he bega...n the process of getting to know my daughter and then brininging us together as a family to his offices on a Saturday morning to see how we as a family were going to handle the months ahead. He is without a doubt one of the most knowledgable people i have ever met with a real sense of family and what was needed by my daughter during these months ahead. His conversation to my daughter was frank and while we didn't think it was making a difference in her aerogance towards what had occurred she was obviously absorbing what Peter was advising her. The outcome has veen highly favorable and during the entire year plus Peter was always keeping my wife and I totally aware of the next steps. He is a great person with a sense of family that makes these situations manageable when being so far away. I would recommend Peter and his team for any legal situationn he is a great lawyer.

You are in good hands with this firm

Do you ever see those giant books lawyers reference when searching for ways to attack a case? Well these are the guys writing the go to books for New York DWI defense(not an exaggeration). I went to this firm and got a borderline Aggravated DWI completely dismissed. My lawyer from the firm was James ...Davis(I wrote an in depth review under his name) and he and the rest of the staff at Gerstenzang, O'Hern & Hickey are fantastic in every area of the defense game.

Peter Gerstenzang, Esq. gets RESULTS!!

Not only is Peter Gerstenzang the most knowledgeable person I could have found in the area of DWI law, he has a huge heart, a bulldog perseverance, and a wonderful team that get RESULTS!!!! And that spelled SUCCESS for me- after 6 years of being without a license. He has Iiterally written the book... on interpreting DWI law (and teaches it for the State Bar Association, etc), and in the ever changing climate over the last few years in New York State, he had the ability and keen intellect to recognize the pitfalls, direct me as to what needed to be done for my case, some of which took time, and open the path to recovering my license. I had a different attorney that handled a DWI conviction for me, and promised that he would facilitate getting my license back (in 2009). He tried to help me, but his efforts were unsuccessful. I was referred by a family member that knew of Mr. Gerstenzang and his credible/incredible results record, and was advised that a period of time need go by before we could go into court. I should preface this by saying that I am an alcoholic in recovery. I work a wonderful spiritual program in AA and have a network of support which has created a life that I never dreamed of, and that I highly recommend as an avenue to anyone that has issues with alcohol. That being said, Peter Gerstenzang advised that I continue on my path, and document my progress. And, I need to say, that he applauded my progress through his unwavering support. To make a long story short, Peter and his team, including his wife Karen and his son Joe, plowed through all the red tape with commendable perseverance, including the new regs that NYS adopted last year, and the ultimate result is a fully restored license, with an interlock for a year. Personally, I think interlocks are the ultimate deterrent (at least 85-90% effective) in keeping drivers that have been drinking off the road. I am a sober woman that is extremely grateful to have my driving privileges restored, with no danger of interlock issues since I don’t drink. So, this is a reassurance to the powers that be that I am re-introduced to the road with an effective measure to guarantee that. And, it was Peter Gerstenzang and Team that made that happen for me. I am forever grateful and would suggest that anyone with drinking and driving issues, RUN, not walk for an appointment with Peter Gerstenzang.
