Steven helped prove me innocent of a crime I did not commit. Months of going back and forth to the courthouse quickly came to an end with his help. Steven and his team are highly educated, trustworthy and honest lawyers. They went above and beyond for me, always keeping me informed and in the loop. I am so thankful for having Steven’s help and would recommend him and his team to anyone looking for representation.

Mr. Steven Raiser is a special breed who think quickly on his feet, and who can break down a situation and a person in real time. He applies specific values that I truly believe in when dealing with my case and I. Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Integrity, and professionalism are the five main values that sticks out when Mr. Raiser put in 100% of his time when dealing with my case and I. Well at least he made me feel that way. He is a trail attorney you don't want to face, but you'd definitely want on your side.

This review was a long time coming and I am writing this to the benefit of anyone reading who might be in the position I was in- panicked during a late night Google search with a Suffolk County DUI charge complete with damning blood results during a terrible time in my life. I had never been in any kind of trouble before and had a new nursing career to worry about. If you find yourself in a position like this, take it from me. It is worth it to you to reach out to this attorney and have the conversation you need to have about your circumstances.
Steve Raiser was able to get my charges completely dismissed and I ended up with a speeding ticket instead. Unbelievable.
I did a lot of research and interviewed a number of people when looking to hire who I felt was the best lawyer. Its the one thing you have a say in when something like this suddenly happens to you. The strong reviews here on Avvo led me to Mr. Raiser and his firm and after meeting with him - I made one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself and hired him.
Some of the things that I found to be consistently true throughout the year+ that my case took: Steve was very transparent about the entire process and what I could expect. I never had to contend with that feeling of being "sold". There were no lofty promises of legal salvation. We discussed facts, possibilities, and strategies. I was able to trust him to present the strongest options and follow through on them.
He was very patient with my bastion of questions; many of which I would ask repeatedly because to be frank it was very hard for a lot of this to sink in at first.
I appreciated the clarity, the steady management of my expectations which I felt empowered me to be prepared for whatever the outcome may have been (which is saying a LOT because I was an anxious mess!), and the ease in which I could get in touch with him at any point throughout the year. He always returns calls and emails quickly and you get the sense that your case matters well after the checks clear. This is not to be taken for granted in any industry. He was on the ball.
I am still floored at the phenomenal results Steve Raiser was able to achieve on my behalf - hence the long review. Having my charges ultimately dismissed was better than I dared to hope for. I'm grateful that Avvo exists because when it's your life on the line, it is not the time for vague suggestions on who might know what to do in front of a judge. This is why I am not mincing words.
Finally, I think it says a lot when you look to hire someone in a field like this where many of us are going in blind and are at the mercy of the attorney's work ethic, competence, billing schedule, and all sorts of intangible variables that equal significant amounts of funds. They cannot promise you any outcomes. This is an attorney who actually loves what he does and is excellent in his chosen field. It showed in every facet of this entire ordeal and it's why I was able to get through it.
Steve Raiser is worth every red cent and then some.
He has my highest recommendation and I am grateful for his excellent work on my case.

Steve Raiser is truly the best criminal lawyer there is. I retained Steve to address some serious and nerve racking matters, that only someone with his experience could have handled. From the time he enters the courtroom he commands respect. It’s only after he goes in front of the judge states his name, practice and address is when the magic happens. The way he interacts with the judges, prosecutors, and court personnel is impressive.
I had many questions and concerns which he and his staff were always available to address. Steve laid out a strategic game plan and also a back -up plan, which both had favorable outcomes.
If you are going into battle in the court system you definitely need Steve. He knows his stuff!!!!!

Today my case was finish and had a positive outcome because of the excellent work from Steven. When I first went to him I was scared but he assured me that he will handle the case and we will have a positive outcome so said so down. My mind was at ease after I first talk to him.. He went thru all the steps that he would take to make sure we have the best outcome.

During a trying time Mr. Raiser proved he is second to none when it comes to putting his clients at ease and navigating the legal system. I was so confused and lost but knew I was in good hands with him representing me.

Mr. Raiser took the time to get a full understanding of the case before proceeding. He was also open to listening to my ideas and suggestions. Communication throughout the entire process was easy. I never felt rushed whether on the phone or in person. Pricing was reasonable and worth every penny. I could not be happier with the outcome of the case.

Facing a Felony charge of criminal mischief along with an order of protection against me, Steven Raiser was able to get the order reduced to a do not harass very shortly after the order was issued and ultimately get the felony charge dismissed. Always responsive to my questions and concerns along and after this difficult process, Steven very quickly proved to me I was in very capable hands and I knew I had found the "cream of the crop. ". Overall very professional, great personality and most importantly a great lawyer.

Mr. Raiser was able to prove my innocence of an accusation that I was not guilty of. When I hired him as my lawyer, he didn't promise me anything, but he said he was going to work as much as he could on my case. It took longer than I thought, but everything was worth it, because now I feel very happy to hire him as my lawyer. Thank you Mr. Raiser.
