Excellent experience

Mr Funk, Was very knowledgeable, him and his Legal Assistant Markita keep me informed of all the proceedings, court dates and discoverers. I will totally refer him to friends and family! .

I could not ask for anything more

Mr. Funk saved my life. I was indicted on a serious charge and was looking at a lot of time. I had 2 lawyers before him who did nothing. Then Mr. funk was assigned to my case and it was a breathe of fresh air. He is an amazing lawyer who works hard and understands the law. He went all the way w...ith me through an entire month of trial and did a phenomenal job. I can't thank him enough and he could never understand how much I appreciate how hard he worked for me. He would be the only lawyer I would ever recommend to anyone. Thank you Stephen, Mark

Great listener, set clear expectations & executed the plan

After speaking with a few lawyers, who all rushed me when I explained my situation, I finally spoke with Steve and he was a breath of fresh air. When he asked what happened, he actually listened to my story and immediately replied I don't sound guilty. Instantly, I felt comforted. He then laid out... what to expect and what he would do. I retained him and everything came together exactly as he explained. My court date changed multiple times and each time - both him and his assistance let me know before the court notices were sent. On the day of court - he made me feel confident and executed the game plan and my case was dismissed. What more can you ask for? He's a very nice guy, but he doesn't mess around. He got me the exact result that I wanted. Thanks again, Steve!

Very Pleased

I highly recommend Stephen Funk for a lawyer he was very nice and on point. He's definitely not like other lawyers he would get back to us when we called and did what he said he was going to do. He's secretary is also very nice and pleasant to talk to.

YOUR IN GRAT HANDS WITH STEPHEN FUNK!

I wholeheartedly endorse Stephen Funk as a great attorney. I met Stephen Funk in November 2005 when I was indicted by The State of New Jersey's Attorney Generals Office on 11 counts of Voter Fraud. I retained Ed Jacobs of Jacobs & Barbone and Stephen worked on the case with Ed Jacobs. Stephen and I w...ould spend a lot of time during the pre-trial meetings to prepare and we became friendly. Stephen laid the ground work that led to me being acquitted on all 11 counts. In September 2009, I was indicted by The State of New Jersey's Attorney Generals Office again on 10 counts of Voter Fraud. I again went to Jacobs and Barbone, this time I retained Stephen Funk. I knew Stephen was a competent attorney based on my experiences with him in my 1st trial, I just wanted to be convinced that he would represent me with the same vigor as Ed Jacobs. Ed Jacobs is a legendary defense attorney and Stephen worked a lot of major cases with Ed Jacobs. My moment came two days before trial when I realized that I was ready to go to war against the State of New Jersey with Stephen Funk leading the charge. I took my wife and kids to see Sesame Street Live, realizing that I started trial on Monday, there was a real chance that if things didn't go well, that was my last Sesame Street Live for a while. I came and met with Stephen later that day and explained to him that I want to be able to attend more events, he then proceeded to take the words out of my mouth and say, "My goal is to make sure that you continue to go to Sesame Street Live with your family", it hurts my heart to see an innocent person go through this, but Im ready to go Marty, Im prepared and I feel great about our defense. That is all it took to convince me. In March of 2011 myself and 6 Co-Defendants were found NOT GUILTY of all Charges and Stephen Funk played the role of Lead Attorney for the defense. Stephen displayed such a calm, cool and great presence that was felt by the entire courtroom. During the trial I would get text messages at 3 am, with him outlining our plan for the next day. His wife said the trial took over their household with documents spread all over the floor of their house like wrapping paper on Christmas. I feel great about Stephen Funk, I owe him my life. If your life is on the line, spear no expense and get a great attorney like Stephen Funk. It didn't just stop with me, I have referred a plethora of friends to him and he has delivered every single time. If you want a 1st class attorney that will go above and beyond...I got two works for you...STEPHEN FUNK...Im Marty Small and I approve Stephen Funk!
