Shoplifting dropped to non criminal.

To make a VERY long story short, I hired a well known Ocean Country defense law firm who's modo was that the whole firm was behind me. Again they were supposedly the best in Ocean County. They're website looked like they could represent OJ Simpson, it was so professional even a bit intimidating, at... the time I new I needed the best so I hired them. The attorney who was assigned to me, wanted me to plead guilty to a petty shoplifting charge on the very first appearance and this was also my first criminal offense. That law firm charged me a large fee so there was no way I was simply pleading guilty, otherwise what did I even hire them for? I fired that lawyer on spot in front of the judge, and the court granted me another month to find a new lawyer. Thankfully I found Steve who helped me get this charge dropped to a non-criminal ordinance which was what I needed to continue as a nursing student. When I initially called Steve I was in panic, he told me to relax and we would figure this out and that's exactly what he did. I would recommend Steve to anyone seeking legal representation. I will be calling Steve again soon to help me with a record expungement. PS. Steves fee is fair and he will help you with arrangements if needed.

Stephen Francis McHuckin

Stephen McHuckin made my life a breeze. Answered the phone every time I called, made every appointment we had, kept every promise he made, worked with me with money, and won the case I hired him for! He by far surpassed my expectations and I would not use anybody else. Id absolutely recommend him.... Great experience

A Truly Caring, Class Act!

My family hired Mr. McGuckin to help my mentally ill mother stay out of jail. My mother was charged with eluding a police officer and other serious charges due to her mental illness causing her to do so. Not only was Mr. McGuckin very understanding and flexible with my families finances and payments,... but he also went way out of his way to make sure my mother received justice and helped the court understand that my mother was incompetent to stand trial. Mr. McGuckin is a truly caring lawyer who takes pride in his cases and really wants to help people in need. My mothers case was not an easy case to solve but Mr. McGuckin was able to get it done, while helping my family and I cope with the situation, financially and mentally. I would highly recommend Mr. McGuckin to anyone in need of a great lawyer!
