Outstanding defense, exceeded my high expectations

Mr. Burstein and the team at Springer & Steinberg accomplished what I never would have believed was possible! He took the time to understand every aspect of my case, determined our defense strategy, and executed it expertly over the course of several hearings. He quickly earned my trust, fought aggre...ssively but smartly, answered all of my questions promptly, and gave me confidence and peace of mind. I consulted with multiple other attorneys before hiring Springer & Steinberg, and I am confident that none of them could have attained the unbelievably favorable outcome that Mr. Burstein achieved.

Life Saver

I hired Steve Burstein for a case where I was falsey accused of domestic violence. The entire situation was a nightmare. Steve completely took control and got ahead of the entire situation. He did what he is truly gifted at during the jury trial that lasted two days and got me acquitted of all three ...serious charges. I owe my life to Steve.

Hire Steve!

I could not be more grateful for the work that Steve Burstein did on my DUI case. I hired him after I was pulled over and accused of drinking and driving last year. My case was long, drawn out, and fairly complicated; however, Steve always made himself available. He gave me great advice, reassured me..., and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. He was also very patient with my exhausting amount of questions over the course of 9 months. My case was continued several times and even included an 8 hour motions hearing, and he made me feel as though my case was important to him the whole time even though he is very busy with a lot on his plate. He represented me incredibly well and was able to get my case dismissed even though I had a very, very high BAC. Without his help, I would have been convicted and had a DUI on my record for the rest of my life. Hire Steve - you won’t regret it! I am extremely thankful I found Steve at Steinburg & Springer and would recommend him to anyone.

One of the best!

If you are in need of a DUI attorney, then Stephen Burstein is your man. He is knowledgeable of the laws and confident in what he does. He was not willing to accept the "standard" plea bargain the DA was offering and fought for me. Because of his expertise, I was found not guilty and I can now go ...on with my life. I would recommend Mr. Burstein to anyone looking for a strong attorney.

"I worked opposite Steve on several matters when he was a district attorney. He was always fair, honest, and very competent in court. Since his transition to private practice I have observed that he is an aggressive litigator with excellent courtroom skills. He consistently delivers fantastic results for clients whether it is through a trial or the plea bargaining process. I endorse Steve without hesitation and hope we can continue working together for years to come."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
