Divorce

Atty. Lebedevitch was professional and courteous at all times. We met at his office and spoke on several occasions. He was able to clearly explain the divorce process to me and was always available by phone or in person if I had any questions. He guided me through what would have been a difficult sit...uation had I tried to handle it on my own. I would highly recommend Steve to anyone looking to hire an attorney to make something as difficult as a divorce a bit easier.

Good Lawyer

Does all that he can to get the best outcome

Posted by Anthony | February 01, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Not a good lawyer

This attorney did not seemed to understand the law for basic traffic violations. I took a deal to plead guilty to a cell phone moving violation under his advice, which he told me would not have a negative effect on my license. I was then awarded a harsher fine and a suspended license because this att...orney did not understand the law governing multiple moving violations. The law was simple and reading it now, I do not understand how he could not construe it properly. Should not have followed his advice, it only led me to get a harsher punishment than I would have gotten without hiring him. He then refused to rectify the situation. I highly advise a more ethical attorney.

The client in this situation was on a probationary period from the DMV for having multiple moving violations. The State's Attorney was not going to come off the moving violation that he was charged with. I offered an option that I said would possibly end in a suspension, given the status of his license, but at least gave him a shot at keeping his license. I went over both options with the client and allowed him to make a decision. He decided that he wanted to go with the option that would at least give him a chance of keeping his license. I always advise my clients of all possible outcomes, and ensure that the client makes an informed decision. In this situation I did not stray from that path. It was his decision to plead to the offense, and after the case was over I spoke to the client on a number of occasions, as well as driver's services, to answer any and all questions that the client had.

Great Attorney, nicer guy!

Stephen is very knowledgeable and guided me through the entire pre-trial process without any hassle. If it was not for Attorney Ledebevtich, I would have ended up with DUI conviction. I strongly recommend him to anyone who wants to hire him.
