Alex Lonstein Was Amazing Feb 20, 2026

Alex Lonstein was amazing. Much more than that could be said in the beginning, but for purposes of expediency I want that to be stated first. I was very nervous and very afraid about the outcome, especially because I was new to the area and the charge, in my mind, was severe. Any question I had, and he was available. I had his personal number right from the beginning, before I even officially hired him. He told me to reach out for anything. He would help me however he could. Whenever I called, he always was available to pick up and talk. He gave simple instructions. Direct answers. This never allowed me to never have to call back for understanding or double-checking about the case. This calmed my nerves when I was unsure of what was happening. Then, day of the trial, he was very confident about working things out. The entire process, he never stated what he was not confident he could achieve. But he aimed higher than that as he believed in the strength of our case. When everything was said and done, my case was dismissed. The hardest part of this experience was waiting for the court date. Alex made anything involving himself the easiest part in this process. Thank you again.

Outstanding Throughout a Challenging Process Feb 9, 2026

Harry Gill was outstanding throughout a very challenging process. He was exceptionally responsive, empathetic, and kind, and consistently helped make a stressful situation feel manageable. His professionalism, compassion, and steady guidance truly made a difference. I had less direct interaction with Doug Reda, but he was clearly knowledgeable, competent, and professional, and it was reassuring to know he was part of such a strong team. Highly recommend.

The Best Law Firm in the U.S. Jan 5, 2026

The best law firm in the U.S. I was blessed to have Mr. Kenniff represent me in a nightmare self defense case in Alabama. Despite having only three weeks to prepare, he became a leader within my team, and his statesmanlike demeanor quickly won over the judge and court watchers. Moreover, these gentlemen are good, moral folks. My case was dropped, and thanks to God and this firm, I have returned to a normal life.

I Cannot Recommend Raiser & Kenniff, P.C. Highly Enough Jan 4, 2026

I cannot recommend Raiser & Kenniff, P.C. highly enough. They represented a family friend in a very serious criminal case that went through a long and difficult jury trial. From start to finish, their professionalism, preparation, and dedication were outstanding. The attorneys were extremely knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and relentless in defending his rights. They took the time to explain every step of the process, kept me informed, and never gave up—even when the case felt overwhelming. Their courtroom strategy and trial skills showed their deep experience in criminal defense. Thanks to their hard work and commitment, the jury returned a NOT GUILTY verdict. That result changed his life, and I will always be grateful to this legal team. If you are facing serious criminal charges and need attorneys who truly fight for you, Raiser & Kenniff is the firm you want on your side.

He got everything DISMISSED Aug 21, 2025

Alex was amazing dealing with a complex triple-jeopardy ticket I got from a police officer who was not even on the scene. It took 18 months, but he stayed right with me, worked with another attorney several times to make sure the outcome supported me in my lawsuit against the driver that hit me but I got blamed, and finally he got everything DISMISSED. I can't recommend Alex highly enough!

The outcome Alex predicted is what occurred Apr 1, 2025

Alex Lonstein is a godsend. In February of this year, an issue came up and, with way too many things all coming at me at once from different areas of my life, I needed Alex to step in and handle this for me. When I reached out and spoke with Alex, initially, I found him to be extremely engaging, quite responsive, articulate, and eager to help. It was also quite evident Alex was extremely familiar with the lay of the land and was the right attorney to act on my behalf. My instinct told me to put my faith and trust in Alex even though I had never dealt with him before, and I am happy to report that it was 100% the right thing to do. The outcome that Alex predicted at the outset is precisely what occurred in the end. How many lawyers, let alone any professional for that matter, can you actually say that about? I highly recommend him. Thank you, Alex!

Excellent Representation at a Fair Price Mar 4, 2025

Alex is a hardworking and caring attorney who is somehow always available to answer client questions or explain his legal strategy. In my case, he provided excellent representation, achieving a result significantly better than I had even thought possible, and he did all of this at a very fair price. I would absolutely recommend Alex to anyone needing legal assistance in New York State.
