Extremely Grateful
Robert Schuster is by far one of the best attorneys out there. Robert got me the best deal possible in the situation I was in. I really can’t thank him enough for all he’s done for me. I would recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in need of an exceptional attorney. Not only did Robert help me...

Exactly as advertised
At 56 years old I've had the need for two attorney's in my life - when i bought my first home then again when i bought my second. Recently a close family member made a very foolish mistake and we needed counsel and representation. Flying blind, I searched the internet and came across information on...

Highly Recommend, knowledgeable, compassionate, trustworthy, and Professional every step of the way.
Robert Schuster, Esq represented me in court, “a good deed gone bad”, and I was scared and very confused dealing with what I dealt with. He not only took the time out to see me right away but reassured me that I would be okay. At first I was skeptical and did not know what or who to believe to beli...
Thank you Christina. You are a great lady who surely deserved the dismissal. It was a pleasure working with you.

Excellent result!
Robert Schuster is an outstanding, intelligent, result-oriented attorney who deeply cares about his clients, exercises excellent legal and professional judgment, and knows the Westchester courts like the back of his hand. I called Robert based on a referral after a DWI arrest prompted by my ex-w...

Excellent Lawyer
A DWI arrest is humbling, terrifying and expensive. My daughter was arrested for an aggravated DWI with a high reading in Yorktown. She was grieving a terrible loss in her life and had too much wine to drink the night before. The next day she got into a minor one-vehicle accident. Her blood alcohol w...
"I know Robert Schuster to be both a tenacious advocate and a brilliant tactician. I have known Rob for over thirty years, but I recently had the pleasure of working with him on a complex, multi-jurisdictional matter. I felt very comfortable relying on the vast expertise he brought to the table, and consequently, we were able to navigate our client safely through treacherous legal circumstances. Furthermore, Rob has consistently impressed me over the years with his professional achievements which literally range from “great” to “unbelievable”. After many candid discussions, it has become clear to me that Rob’s default approach to any matter is (1) comprehensive analysis; (2) strategic planning; and (3) fearless execution. There is no question that Rob Schuster is the kind of attorney someone needs to engage when their most critical interests are at risk."
"Robert is simply the best criminal / felony / DWI lawyer you will find. I practice traffic ticket and auto crime defense. When clients call me having been arrested with a pound of weed, felony burglary, DWI, and any other type of malfeasance you can think of, I refer them right to Robert. Can I do it - yes. But, I have a high volume practice and my clients need my attention. I refer them to Robert because he is simply the best in the business for criminal defense, felony defense, and DWI. Believe me, you will be happy with his work, so if you or anyone you know is jammed up with the law, don't delay call Robert ASAP!"
"I have worked both with and against Robert in many criminal matters. Robert works very hard to get the best outcome for his client no matter how big or small the case. I strongly endorse this lawyer."
"I have had the pleasure of working with Robert Schuster on a matter where we both represented clients. He was extremely knowledgable about the Westchester courts, DAs and practice. He also has a keen understanding of the law and works his cases aggressively. He stands in the best tradition of criminal defense attorneys and is a credit to the profession."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have had the privilege to work closely with Robert Schuster. He is a thoroughly prepared advocate who understands how to protect his client's interests. He is also a compassionate counsellor. He communicates with his clients faced with difficult and sensitive issues in a straightforward and reassuring manner."
"I am a colleague of Robert's and have worked with him on several cases over the years. Robert is perhaps a chess master. He is highly intelligent and anticipates the moves of his adversary - two, three moves in advance. He is one of the few attorneys who reports results that I respect. I would trust him to handle a case or client for me and THAT list is VERY short. I recommend him without reservation."
