From the gritty streets of Brooklyn, Steve worked his way through law school as a professional comedian, performing in front of literally thousands of people in the most prestigious comedy clubs and resorts throughout the New York tri-state area. In recognition of his talents, he was acknowledged and accepted as a member of the esteemed Friars Club.
Steve credits his experience as a professional comedian with helping to make him a successful trial attorney. As he explains "In both fields, the lawyer/performer must be fully prepared, confident, persuasive, engaging, quick-witted and able to relate to his audience. Both arenas are truly Darwinian, where only the strongest survive."
Steve now regularly appears as an expert legal analyst on shows such as Court TV and NBC's Celebrity Justice, and in national feature stories on Dateline NBC, CBS' 48 Hours, Geraldo, and CNN's On The Money. All the major New York newspapers have quoted him extensively as an authoritative source on various legal matters. In addition, his legal papers have been sought out by Matthew Bender for inclusion in their form books, which serve as examples of writing excellence for other attorneys.
