What People Say About Us

I was facing a very serious criminal charge with a prior and was facing a few years jail time. Stephen explained the best and worst outcome, and always answered every single phone call. We had several court dates and the judge was very tough regarding my case. With Stephen’s expertise and in his professional demeanor he was able to get me probation. To say I’m pleased with the outcome is an understatement. My family and I are beyond grateful for him. He is a great person and an even GREATER lawyer. Without him, I would’ve had an awful outcome. He did everything he could possibly do for me and it all worked out. Thank you, Steve

In this case, the Defendant was charged with a First Offense DWI and faced 7-12 month loss of driving privileges, steep fines, and installation of an ignition interlock device. We were able to successfully challenge the Alcotest reading due to a 20 Minute Observation Issue resulting in the suppression of the .21% BAC. As a result, the Defendant’s charge was downgraded to a 90-day loss of license, minimum allowable fines, and no ignition interlock device.
