David Steinmetz was originally recommended to me by a trusted friend. Commercial litigation can be very touchy business. It did not take a very long before I realized how lucky I was to have him as a lawyer. David is an excellent attorney, who handled very difficult adversaries with great skill. He was a genuine pleasure to work with, and a mentsch, as well. David, thank you!

After speaking with several other high profile lawyers who told me I have no chance to win on the motion I needed to file, I was told to reach out to Mr. Steinmetz. He took on the case and won. David provides great legal counsel while trying to provide a reasonable path to resolution so not to run up the bill. He is very smart, highly dedicated and resourceful. I would highly recommend him. A real find!

David is an outstanding legal resource. He is the guy you hire when you want straight answers and results. A walking encyclopedia with a powerhouse punch, David defended me and my company against a giant, publicly traded (NYC) corporation with deep pockets, and an internal and external legal team. I hired David, because I felt I needed an attorney in NJ who could stand up to the NYC law firm who represented the corporation I was in dispute with. After speaking with 3 local attorneys, I was very unhappy and terrified of the possible outcome. Then, I was recommended to David by a friend of my wife (herself a respected attorney, who described Mr. Steinmetz as both humble and brilliant), reviewed his credentials (outstanding) and hoped he was available. I expected to get his assistant or a voice mail, even a no since he litigates such large cases. Nope, I got David on the phone first try. I knew in just a few minutes he was it. David and I never met in person, only on the phone as we exchanged detailed and super lengthy emails (mainly serious ones) but some were really funny, which made this case bearable. David is an excellent writer and communicator. He gets things most people don't pick up. Then, we actually met face to face on the steps of the Appellate Division. It was as if we had known each other for years. David's authenticity was humbling. He was immaculately prepared, eloquent and quick to his feet with deep, succinct knowledge. The opposing team was quiet on the issues he raised (how could they not be? David was right!). A refined, powerful force whose calm, strategic approach delivered everything I wanted: a win. I highly recommend David.

If you want your opponent’s heart to hit their stomach when they research your counsel, hire David. This is exactly what I was told by a member of the “other side” after he came to work for us following our victory. We had the best, the other side knew it, and it was clear that the Judge saw it too (we won our summary judgment motion). David is a plethora of knowledge when it comes to commercial litigation and representing businesses in general. Combine that with his powerful persona, his calm-in-the-storm approach, and his highly articulate legal writing skills, and you’ve got a brilliant attorney that you will be proud to have in your corner. Throw in his uncompromising honesty, authenticity and his sense of humor, and you’ve got someone you'll be proud to have as your friend. Litigation is rife with uncertainty, even stress. I am glad to have had an attorney -- and now a friend -- who was was right on every issue and who proved to make lemonade out of what appeared to be a sour situation.

Mr. Steinmetz represented me for the first time nearly three years ago in a complex litigation matter, and I still use him to this day. I will always remember how I sat in the Court room, observing Mr. Steinmetz arguing our motion for summary judgment. He was prepared, his delivery sharp and clear, he presented the law and facts cogently and far more effectively than the Plaintiff's attorney. The judge clearly agreed with him on all the issues and ruled accordingly right then and there. But what really struck me was how even his adversary, the guy who drove me nuts for nearly a year, and nearly twenty years older than Mr. Steinmetz, said, "You're a damn good lawyer," shook his hand, and just walked off. Even the judge indicated his pleasure. And anyone who has read his briefs understands what I mean. Mr. Steinmetz is familiar with the most recent cases, genuinely works to understand the facts in all their detail, and is, in additional to a passionate advocate, a genuine person. He is a professional and a genuine pleasure to work with.

Mr. Steinmetz is known as the go-to lawyer for business litigation for a reason. I am very happy with his services and will continue to use him. Those who have had other lawyers may understand what I mean when they mean a top lawyer: He just gets it. His understanding of the law, his questions, his professionalism and customer service--the whole picture. Judges see it and so do his adversaries.

I was involved in a tough case. Mr. Steinmetz got into the case immediately and I won. He was always available, and made a difficult time in my life not only bearable, but had it swiftly concluded with integrity and real solidity of thought and skill. I thank him for everything.

Mr. Steinmetz is deservedly earning the reputation as THE go-to attorney for commercial disputes and litigation. He is thorough, very knowledgable, scholarly, extremely sharp, and is a great advocate. In addition to vigorously and successfully defending my business wth great dedication, I have found him sincere and very honest, as well. I will continue to use Mr. Steinmetz and offer him my very highest recommendation.

Mr Steinmetz is a clearly an Atty you want to higher. I have personally never seen an Atty that will fight like this man will. I retained David after he represented a defendant in a different case were I was the Plaintive and won. THIS MAN ISN'T GOOD HE IS CLEARLY ONE OF THE BEST EVER.....

Mr. Steinmetz rescued from a fairly difficult procedural and substantive dilemma in Monmouth County some time ago. He knew the law cold, wrote and argued brilliantly, and, true to his reputation, won. We are very appreciative of his work and offer him our very highest recommendation!
