We have worked with Steve for several years, as he has represented a family member in several cases. In one word, his work is outstanding! He is exceptionally knowledgeable, thorough, responsive, caring, resourceful, and achieves excellent results. If you or an important person in your life should need representation in a complex situation, one in which there is significant risk and stress, Steve is the person you want. He understands all the parts, knows how to get the right information, has the resources available to help him get things done, including if required, investigators, and equally important understands how to help the client get through the process. I can assure you, these are the critical skills needed to navigate such a situation.

At first I did not know who this firm was or how good they were. I had second thoughts about this firm until I met with Steve. He laid everything out on the table the first time we met, without even having hired him to represent me in my legal matter, he told me how this case was going to work, what steps I needed to take and laid out a whole road plan. His attitude was different than other lawyers I had talked to. Other lawyers had told me "Yeah we can handle your case" but Steve had a whole strategy already and that's how I knew he had experience. The day of my hearing, I started having second thoughts about this firm. I kept thinking "Did I hire the right lawyer? Will he represent me and get me what I want and need?" It wasn't until we went up in front of the judge that Steve's experience shown. He started talking with that affirmative tone and seeing how he was carrying the case, proved to me that I had made the right decision in hiring him. Thanks to Steve and this firm, I am able to keep my job by getting a wayyyyyyyyy better outcome than what I had expected. If you find yourself in need of a lawyer and not sure who to hire, you can't go wrong with this firm. With other lawyers you only talk to them the day you meet them and then the day of the court. Not with this firm. Steve was able to answer any questions I had over the phone and we met before the court day to plan the strategy out. Again, you can't go wrong with them.

Few months ago, I had a criminal case that could affect my job and my integrity. A family friend of mine referred me to Steve Chaikin. After placing that first phone call, Steve was committed and began working on my case immediately. He responded to all my phone calls in a timely manner. He created that atmosphere where I was rest assured. He fought on my behalf and the matter was resolved. I am very thankful to Steve for the sacrifices he made on my behalf especially driving to court when the weather was bad and would highly recommend Steve to anyone in distress.

My son was charged with various misdemeanors offenses, that although small, would have affected him not only for the rest of his life, but also for his citizenship process that he had already initiated. I believe God put Steve in our path to help us. If there were 10 stars, I would give him 11. He goes the extra mile to help people. He met several times with us, without worrying about his time; he cared about my son´s case. He advised my son, not only as a lawyer, but also as he were his mentor. He gave him life lessons that would help him for the rest of his life. I really appreciate how quickly he responds to all my questions. I used to send him a lot of messages and he always responded very quickly. I believe Steve is not only an excellent lawyer, but most importantly a wonderful human being, who helps you in such a kind manner when you most need it. Thanks to God and Steve, the case was dismissed, and my son learned a very important lesson. Now he can take his life back and get his citizenship.

Steve Chaikin is an outstanding lawyer who fights for his clients to get the best results. He is respected by his clients, the Court, the Judges, the prosecutors, and the police because of his hard work, integrity, and results he achieves. The first time I went to Court with him, I was immediately impressed by his ability to speak with the police and the prosecutor and convince them to dismiss significant charges because of misinformation and an inappropriate identification. What really sets Mr Chaikin apart, is the fact that he treats clients and their families with dignity and respect. I highly recommend this attorney. Marc Iorio, Esq.

Steve Chaikin is what I imagine other attorneys aspire to be. Experienced, honest, and trustworthy are some of the words that come to mind when I think of Steve. I genuinely appreciate how he handled my well-being from the outset of my case. I felt like a priority, and his follow up left nothing to be desired. Long story short, I was fortunate that Steve was recommended to me and would gladly and happily recommend him to anyone who reads this. He is truly an amazing attorney.

I had a relatively small, but (to me) very important criminal matter, the outcome of which could have seriously affected by career. Steve's representation of me was absolutely brilliant. Not only that, but the attention that Steve showed to my matter, and his concern for me showed me that he really cared about my case. I highly recommend Steve for criminal representration. He is an excellent lawyer and have no hesitation at all in saying that.

I agree with all of the positive opinions regarding the work of Attorney Steve Chaikin as a legal expert and criminal defense attorney. Prior to reading the exceptional work highlighted by previous clients, I myself researched his extensive career as a lawyer first as a longtime prosecutor and currently as a criminal defense counsel. Overall I am extremely impressed in his overall knowledge of the law and his experience as a trial lawyer which brings most positive outcomes for his clients. I have referred many acquaintances to be represented by Steve Chaikin with little to complex cases and I have heard praises of the dedication and the hard work Mr. Chaikin puts into the cases that those acquaintances have brought before him.

We were thrilled with the outcome of the case. I found Mr. Chaikin to be someone who really cares about clients and their cases. I highly recommend him to anyone who may need legal representation.

I hired attorney Steve Chaikin because I was being wrongfully accused of something I did not do. This attorney was amazing. He set up an appointment and met with me for several hours on the same day. We discussed my case in detail and he gathered evidence to prove that I was falsely accused. The case was dismissed. The result of the case was due to Steve's level of preparation and attention which he gave to my case. I also recommended Steve to an associate of mine, who's case was also resolved favorably. I highly recommend this gentleman.
How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
