Focused and Professional

I did my due diligence and sought out and listened to several attorneys and their “boxed pitches” to handle a legal matter that could be viewed as routine. This was not an easy time for me. In all my years, I never needed to retain an attorney to handle such a serious matter. So why did I choose St...eve? During our initial meeting, and throughout the lengthy process, I was treated with respect and felt he was invested. He handled my case from the beginning with professionalism, empathy and conveyed a driven purpose to find out the facts, explore all details and develop a comprehensive defense strategy. He executed all stages of my case with precision all the while taking the time to share details, explain his thought process and answer my questions. He always made me feel like I was a priority, demonstrating time and again his dedication, focusing on the legal points, and valued my insight in all stages of my defense. His office staff were friendly and easy to contact. Steve was successful in beating the odds securing an outcome that in my opinion not many others in his profession would have been able to achieve. I was extremely happy with the results. Thank you for working so hard. I would definitely recommend Steve Christiansen to family and friends and those reading this review.

A 5 Star Attorney

My family was blessed to have Steve Christiansen represent our son. From our initial consultation we were impressed by the time he took to address our concerns and to answer all our questions. He was attuned to our distress but did not paint an unrealistic picture of our son’s problems. He made us aw...are of all the possible legal problems but provided a detailed plan to address each situation. We were impressed by his breadth of knowledge acquired through years of experience, but even more so by his honesty, professionalism, and compassion towards our son. We felt our worries diminish because we knew our son would be in highly competent hands. Whenever obstacles arose Steve was persistent and worked with the opposition to achieve a resolution. He worked tirelessly, never giving up. Although extremely busy, he always found the time to return urgent phone calls or emails even if it was late at night or a Sunday. At every court appearance he supports the family as well as his client. He is a rare attorney who you can trust to go above and beyond to achieve the best possible outcome for his client. I heartily recommend him.

A restored faith of defense in criminal procedure

Steve Christiansen shows excellence and brilliance along with confidence in and out of the court room. This counselor will discuss every aspect of your case with you and leave no stone unturned. The efforts shown will be made evident to you before walking into any court room, however to witness his p...ractice of law will be nothing short of amazing. As witness to Steve Christiansen's efforts, I am able to inform you of his work. No matter the situation, or how insurmountable your situation may seem, Steve Christiansen will be honest as well as dedicated to you. I speak from experience with Steve Christiansen. As an individual of previous employment ranging from military service as well as law enforcement. My future and all I have worked for in life was in jeopardy. Steve Christiansen found justice for my situation. Justice being truth in action, allow yourself the best defense in pursuit.

Relief Found In A Professional

Dealing with the court system, DMV and the law in general could be quite a harrowing experience. Both individually degrading and for a family it can be devastating. How it is possible that my family and I came to work with Steven F. Christiansen is a blessing in disguise. The fact that along with t...he legal knowledge at his command came a real person, one with a human side, that had a genuine concern for our situation becomes accolades enough. Mr. Christiansen is a professional in the highest sense. Clearly putting the attorney that he is in the drivers seat and buckeled up. What made the difference is the expression of compassion and concern with his steadfast confidence of a resolve without letting it get in the way of the (task) legal infraction at hand is a gift. this attorney with his confidence, knowledge and listening skills is an asset to the profession of legal counsel, that is rarely found. He help change the way my son and I feel about so much that troublers the world today and this particular profession. Experience that came along with best business practices and courtroom procedures. A true breath of fresh air.
