Steve for the win !

I was facing my first criminal charge and terrified of how it could impact my future. From our first consultation, Steve treated me with respect, explained everything clearly, and assured me we’d work toward the best outcome. He never rushed me, always listened, and made me feel seen—not just as a ca...se, but as a person. Thanks to Steve, I was accepted into the PTI program and avoided a conviction. If you’re looking for someone to represent you with the best outcome —you won’t go wrong with Steve. He’s compassionate, sharp, and truly has your back. I’m forever grateful for his support and the peace of mind he gave me during one of the hardest moments of my life.

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!

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!
