Services
A:It is likely that if you ask your civil attorney to represent you in a criminal case they will advise you to find an experienced criminal defense attorney. Civil and criminal trials require very different skill sets, and it is exceedingly rare to find a lawyer who regularly practices in both areas.
Westchester defense attorneys Marcia Payton and Stephen Riebling started working together more than 25 years ago when they first met in law school at the Pace University School of Law in White Plains, NY. Since then, and over their more than 20 year marriage, they have dedicated themselves to helping people and families throughout Westchester County, New York City and the surrounding areas.
Judge Neary was the presiding judge in the murder trial of Lacey Spears. Judge Neary made these comments in open court and on-the-record during Mr. Riebling's cross-examination of the prosecution's primary expert witness. Mr. Riebling was the Lead Defense and Trial Attorney garnering international attention and news coverage for his work on the case.
Marcia began her legal career by working as an Assistant District Attorney in New York City, prosecuting criminal cases in the country's finest and most highly regarded District Attorney's Office - New York County. It was here that Marcia worked with police officers and detectives and learned how a criminal investigation is handled from arrest to trial.
Have you been arrested and charged with a misdemeanor or felony crime in Westchester County, NY or a surrounding area? Is there an outstanding warrant for your arrest?

I found Stephen Riebling after months of searching for an attorney related to a family court matter. No one else was willing to take my case. He took my call. I explained the situation, and he gladly took me on as a client. He was professional and took care of everything that I had requested. In the end, it was a very favorable outcome for me. He did everything that I asked and gave me the representation that I needed. He fought and won my case. I am very pleased with the overall outcome, and finally can move on with my life.

Mr. Riebling recently represented me in a case in which prior to his involvement was dragged out and a very stressful situation for me. Once I retained him he was professional and extremely cooperative and highly involved through meetings, phone calls, emails etc. He really showed what a defense lawyer should entail and took all the steps necessary to make handling my case as easy as possible for me. Had it not been for his persistence, highly skilled practice and knowledge in the court of law, the outcome of my case would have been a burden to me for a long time coming. The outcome I received

They represented my daughter for a moving violation ticket. She received the ticket pre Covid . The court dates ended up being delayed for 1 year plus. We were kept up and the ticket was dismissed. I would definitely use them again.

I highly recommend Riebling & Payton, PLLC as defense attorneys. From the start they were responsive, provided me great advice and made the stressful unfamiliar process easy to understand.
I could not be happier with the outcome of my case and wouldn’t want anyone else representing myself given the service we received. They are an absolutely amazing legal team

I have spoken many times on the phone from the beginning to the end with Mr. Riebling. The end consisted of him stating, many times, that he has no file for me despite many court dates in the year and a half he acted as my attorney. Do not be fooled. My original review is below.
I retained Mr. Riebling for a family case while he was working for a previous firm. When he left the firm I continued to work with Mr. Riebling WITHOUT paying any additional retainer. We went to trial via zoom. He was difficult to get in touch with and always claimed he was waiting for paperwork. He put no effort into
