BEST LAWYER IN CNY

Steve is the BEST... hands down. He has the knowledge, experience, and relationships to handle even the most difficult cases. I would never trust another lawyer to handle any legal issue unless they are recommended by Steve. Besides his amazing business qualifications, he is also a really great person who truly cares about his clients. He has always made me feel well guided and reassured in any situation. I can't say enough positive things about Steve Cambareri. We are so lucky to have him in Syracuse, NY!

THANK YOU!

“I got arrested for DWI two times within about 4 months of each other. I also had a DWAI from a few years before that and I knew I was in trouble. I hired a lawyer who told me that he knew what he was doing and I shouldn’t worry about anything. I knew something wasn’t right after I pled guilty to the first charge and was about to plead guilty to the second one. A businessman friend told me that I should call Steve because he was the lawyer for some people he knew who got DWI charges and did a very good job for them. I met with Steve who told me that if I kept doing what the lawyer said, I’d lose my license for something like 5 or 6 years. Steve worked hard on my case and got my first guilty plea thrown out. My case worked out really great because of Steve’s amazing work. I didn’t go to jail and wasn’t put on probation. He encouraged me while I was finishing my outpatient alcohol treatment and can say I’m a much better person for it now. I have a valid driver’s license with no interlock, a new job and car that I can drive. My life has changed so much for the better and it wouldn’t have happened without Steve as my lawyer.”

Top lawyer!

“I made the bad decision of pleading guilty by mail to what I thought was a simple traffic ticket. When I found out that the consequences were much more severe and could cause me to lose my license, I needed help fast. All my friends told me I needed to call Steve to help me. He immediately got my case re-opened and dismissed. I would recommend him to everyone!”

"I highly recommend Attorney Cambareri. Honest, on-point, and a pleasure to work with."

Kevin Kuehner

DUI and DWI Attorney | Dec 09
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Steve is absolutely one of the most talented and dedicated criminal defense and DWI lawyers in the community. You may hear some lawyers advertising saying they are the guy you should call or that they are writing a book, the truth is that Steve was on the board of editors for the Criminal Practice books (we call them treatises) used by most lawyers in the State. He regularly teaches other lawyers by giving lectures for the Bar Association. The best part about Steve is that he will tell it to you straight. He won't surprise you later with something unexpected or bad. He will explain the process and get you the best result possible. He has the experience clients need. There are only a few lawyers I would trust with a family member who has a criminal or DWI case and Steve is one of them. I definitely endorse him."
