I have had the good fortune of having Steven provide me with legal counsel throughout some very difficult legal circumstances. Not only is he an exceptional attorney, but he is a truly exceptional person. His steadfast guidance and support has helped me get through one of the most difficult years of my life. I have full confidence in his ability to defend my rights, and ensure I’m given the just opportunity I deserve. Steven and his team are exactly who you want in your corner should you ever find yourself in the unfortunate position of being caught up in our legal system. I believe there are people who go into this line of work for the paycheck, and then I believe there are people who do it in pursuit of justice and equity; Steven is the latter and I count my blessings everyday that I can count on him to help me navigate a very challenging legal situation. I strongly recommend Steven should you find yourself in need of legal services. You will not find a more compas

A call from a police station letting you know that your child has been arrested, is up there on the list of something a parent never wants to experience. Having had that horrible experience, I can say it would have been way worse if it weren’t for Mr. Steven Raiser. Starting from a midnight run to the courthouse in NYC, getting my child released, to the countless hours spent working on our behalf, ultimately resulting in the case being DISMISSED. The arrest and charges were unjust, but in today’s climate, very serious, and could have had life altering consequences. Because of Stevens diligence and expertise, we can all move on from this nightmare, Case Dismissed!

I was wrongly accused by the New York State of getting a fraudulent ID by the DMV. I was threatened with the chance of incarceration for a felony that not only did I not commit, but I was also completely clueless about. Needless to say, I fell under extreme stress and anxiety as I couldn’t make sense of what was happening to me, why it was happening, or HOW it was happening. I acknowledged that wrongful convictions, with jail time, are common to innocent individuals who rather accept a plea bargain instead of face a possible guilty verdict. I searched for legal representation and decided on the office of Mr. Steve Raiser and Ms. Melissa Carpinello. During the process, I reached out with questions and they replied to me promptly. They knowledgeably informed me of every detail of the process, while being relatable and humble in understanding how I was feeling while providing reassurance along the way. They got my case dismissed! I will always be grateful to both of you. :-)

Mr. Raiser is an extremely effective attorney. He took upon my case when I was initially being arraigned. On the date of arraignment he was able to get me released on my own recognize prior to me having an open case. This was my first time meeting him and I immediately thanked him as I thought I would have had my bail revoked. Throughout fighting the case he stood behind my shoulder every step of the way, he was extremely confident and reassuring to myself and my family that he would not settle but only strive for the best possible outcome in my situation. He is an extremely professional attorney, as well as his firm. Upon the ending court date he was able to get me an ACOD in which I did not admit to any guilt or obtain a criminal record, my charges were basically dismissed, which was beyond my expectations. He is by far a Superb lawyer and without any doubt or hesitation I would be more than happy to recommend him to any person who is fighting criminal charges. After the case Mr. R

I would definitely recommend Steven Marc Raiser and his team.I consider Steve more than just my attorney, but a friend. I was in a very difficult position being falsely implicated and charged with a felony and misdemeanor . Being a physician and facing above charges were disastrous for my carrier . He not only got the charges Dismissed but guided me through the nadir of my life with professionalism and empathy.I highly recommend him.he is one of Long Island’s top criminal lawyers.

Hired Steve for a criminal matter. First and foremost, he achieved a very favorable result. Importantly though, he was always available when needed and was a calming presence during the stressful experience. Highly recommend.
