Greatest Discovery in Ocean County

I truly wish I met Stephen on better term but truly was a blessing when I did. Was facing a second dwi offense and was scared for my life. Stephen showed me so much compassion and sympathy and never looked down at me. After discussing what exactly happened on my fist offense Stephen felt the grief t...hat I had and felt like I was given a raw deal. With great determination knowledge he promised me it would not happen again and that he would make sure that every stone was turned with this new case. Being me I thought that I was just being lied to but Stephen sure did make sure he did and deliver the greatest outcome I could of imagine. He got my case dismissed and was given the minimal charge. I am truly grateful and would hire Stephen 1,000,000 times over and over. I can promise that I would recommend him to anyone he truly a gift.

Excellent lawyer for juvenile defense

My 12 year old autistic son was charged with serious offenses during non custodial parent visitation. These charges could have been avoided if my son’s condition was shared during an encounter with the police. Negligence and irresponsible behavior on the other parent side created situation that requi...red my son to be represented by a criminal defense attorney. I accidentally found Steve online, and after speaking with several attorneys, he seemed the most sincere and upfront. He shared his cell phone number and followed up with me before I paid him anything to make sure I had no additional questions. That level of responsiveness is rare these days and I retained Steve to represent my child. Steve exceptionally presented evidence, relevant documentation, and was able to dismiss criminal charges against my kid. He is very knowledgeable and understands the system well. I am hoping I never have to go through this again, but if I do, I will be sure to retain Steve. Highly recommend and appreciate his services!

Best Lawyer I’ve ever had

Steve was transparent, easy to work with. Got my case dismissed! Fair pricing. I urge you to hire him. He’s worth every penny!

EXCELLENT

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 prof...esional 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.

One of the best lawyers

I was referred to Mr. McGuckin by a good friend of mine. Upon receiving his phone number, I contacted him, and explained to him I had an assault charge and he proceeded to instruct me on the worse to best case scenario. Sure enough he was able to get me the best option possible to keep me out of jai...l , with an anger management program and a decent Fine. Thank you so much Mr. McGuckin for your guidance and knowledge in this matter. I would hope not to have to see you in the future but I would definitely refer you to anyone who has legal issues in the future. He is a five star attorney, all the way in my book!
