Stewart Orden

Stewart Orden’s clients benefit from his more than 35 years of litigation experience. He has represented thousands of clients in Federal and State courts throughout New York and New Jersey and has tried and obtained “not guilty” verdicts and monetary judgments on behalf of clients in all types of criminal cases.

Stewart also has decades of experience successfully negotiating complete dismissals of serious cases and other resolutions which protect his clients’ liberty and dignity. Stewart is proud that many of his client referrals come from his former opponents—prosecutors, case workers, and opposing counsel—as well as from well-satisfied prior clients.
