The Bronx is the borough where a New York City DWI arrest is most likely to be prosecuted by an office Jason Steinberger once worked for. The former Bronx County Assistant District Attorney — honored by that office in 2005 for his work in criminal law — now defends DWI and criminal cases from an office on the Grand Concourse near Yankee Stadium, a short walk from the courthouse where Bronx impaired-driving cases are heard, with a second office in Manhattan near Penn Station.

Career History
Steinberger studied at Hofstra University School of Law, where he graduated with the George and Sadie Kruik award and scholarship for Outstanding Performance in Trial Advocacy. He then joined the Bronx County District Attorney’s Office as an Assistant District Attorney in the Trial Bureau, prosecuting violent felonies and misdemeanors, and served as the office’s Liaison to the Bronx County Family Court, where he also prosecuted violent juvenile offenders. In December 2005, the Office of the Bronx District Attorney honored him in appreciation for his work in criminal law. He later taught as an adjunct law professor before dedicating his practice to defense work. His firm’s current materials describe over 15 years of legal experience; earlier copy described over a decade — the firm’s own characterizations at different points in time, noted for completeness.
Practice Concentration
The practice runs on two tracks that reinforce each other: criminal and DWI/DUI defense across the five boroughs plus Nassau and Suffolk, and civil rights litigation over false arrest, police brutality, and excessive force — meaning the same lawyer who defends the DWI stop also sues over unlawful ones, a combination that concentrates expertise in exactly the stop-and-arrest procedure issues where DWI cases are won. The DWI practice has its own dedicated pages walking through New York’s intoxication standard, DWAI, and repeat-offense enhancement rules, and the firm’s Bronx branding is backed by a physical Grand Concourse office rather than keyword marketing alone.
Track Record
The firm does not publish an itemized case-results ledger, and this research could not independently compile individual DWI dispositions; we disclose that rather than substitute vague claims. The verifiable record is the career arc — Trial Bureau prosecution of violent felonies, formal recognition from the Bronx DA’s Office, a trial-advocacy award at graduation — and an aggregate consumer rating of 4.9 stars. We note that the firm’s own website describes Steinberger with best-in-New-York superlatives; that is the firm’s marketing voice, and this publication does not adopt it. Past results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future case.
Client Voice
Steinberger’s aggregate rating across consumer review platforms stands at 4.9 stars, with reviewers consistently crediting his relational skills, attention to detail, and candor. One Yellow Pages reviewer put it directly: “If you ever get arrested in the Bronx… I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him!!!” The recurring themes in the review record are gratitude for outcomes and for straight talk under stress. This research did not surface a pattern of negative reviews or any public disciplinary findings.
Beyond the Courtroom
The firm frames its community commitment through representation itself — giving a voice, as its materials put it, to those navigating a system that often doesn’t listen — backed by structural access choices: two offices positioned at transit hubs, free consultations, 24/7 availability, and payment plans for those who qualify. The teaching stint as an adjunct law professor extended that posture into the classroom.
Recognition
The recognitions here are institutional rather than promotional: the Kruik trial-advocacy award from Hofstra, and the December 2005 honor from the Office of the Bronx District Attorney — a former employer’s formal appreciation, which carries more evidentiary weight than any purchased plaque. A disclosure we apply to every New York profile: New York State does not operate a board certification program for legal specialties comparable to the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, so no New York attorney profile on this site will describe its subject as a state-certified specialist, and this profile attributes no certification to Steinberger.
New York Legal Backdrop
New York’s impaired-driving offenses are tiered under Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1192: Driving While Ability Impaired by alcohol (§ 1192(1)) is a traffic infraction typically charged between .05 and .07 BAC; per se DWI (§ 1192(2)) begins at .08; Aggravated DWI (§ 1192(2-a)(a)) begins at .18. New York’s common-law DWI standard (§ 1192(3)) turns on whether alcohol has rendered the driver incapable, to a substantial extent, of the physical and mental abilities a reasonable and prudent driver needs — no breath number required. Leandra’s Law makes DWI with a child aged 15 or younger in the vehicle (§ 1192(2-a)(b)) a class E felony on a first offense, and VTL § 1198 mandates ignition interlock devices for misdemeanor and felony DWI convictions. A second DWI within ten years is a felony under § 1193 — though a prior DWAI infraction does not enhance a later charge — and a chemical-test refusal triggers a separate DMV hearing under § 1194 that can revoke a license for at least a year regardless of the criminal outcome. None of this is legal advice; consult a licensed New York attorney about your situation.
Awesome Attorneys Assessment
The genuine strengths: borough-native prosecutorial experience in the exact office that will prosecute a Bronx DWI, a physical courthouse-district presence in a category where “Bronx” branding is often just a landing page, the unusual DWI-plus-police-misconduct combination that sharpens suppression practice, and accessibility features — payment plans, two transit-hub offices — that fit the economics of most DWI defendants better than Fifth Avenue rates.
The honest trade-offs, stated plainly: this is a solo-practitioner model with all the capacity limits that implies; the practice is a criminal-defense generalist with a DWI concentration rather than a DWI-only boutique; no public case-results record exists to evaluate outcome-by-outcome; and the firm’s self-description leans on superlatives (“the best New York criminal and DWI lawyer”) that no independent source can validate and this publication does not repeat as fact.
Methodology & Sourcing
This profile was researched and written independently by Awesome Attorneys in August 2026 without the participation, sponsorship, or payment of the Law Offices of Jason A. Steinberger, LLC. Primary sources: the firm’s website (arrestedinny.com), including the firm overview, attorney profile, and DWI/DUI practice pages. Independent verification: Cornell LII attorney listing (Bronx ADA career history, Hofstra education and Kruik award, NY State Bar #4022430, payment-plan fee information); Yelp business listing (Bronx office at 910 Grand Concourse); Yellow Pages listing (Bronx 10451 presence and client review); TrustAnalytica aggregate rating (4.9 stars). The shift in the firm’s stated years of experience across its own materials (over a decade vs. over 15 years) is noted in Career History. Statutes cited in the New York Legal Backdrop were verified against New York Vehicle and Traffic Law §§ 1192, 1193, 1194, and 1198.
