True Professional

Steven is an incredible lawyer who was able to get not one, but two cases dismissed on my behalf. The most recent case was a DWI case that did not look good. I faced jail time, probation and forfeiture of my vehicle. He was always very honest with me and clearly demonstrated and unbelievable und...erstanding of the law. He was able to get the entire case dismissed! I cannot recommend Steven strongly enough. He is the best in the business!

Competent, thorough, goes above and beyond!

I was referred to Steven Christiansen from another attorney. After an initial consultation, I confidently hired him to represent me in my DUI case. From the beginning, Steven was patient, kind and compassionate. He was thorough in answering all my questions and laying out the possible outcomes in lay...man’s terms. He was always accessible keeping me abreast of all occurrences with my case. He had extensive knowledge of the law surrounding my case and used every possible strategy to achieve a favorable outcome. I can honestly say there were times I was ready to throw in the towel, but Steven had yet another plan. After 2 ½ years (Covid time included), my case was dismissed due to his perseverance, hard work and thorough understanding of the law. I highly recommend him!

This Attorney Does Work!

I was recommended to Mr. Christiansen by my attorney to help with my DUI Case. I had hired Mr. Christiansen to file a Motion to Strike DA's Certificate of Discovery Compliance and for the amount of work he did, he was worth every cent. Along with my primary attorney and with Mr. Christiansen onboard,... I was able to have my case dismissed. I would highly recommend him and he did a phenomenal job answering any questions I had, which was a lot!

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.

This guy saved my a$$

I was in serious trouble and looking at the probability of going to prison for a long time. I consulted with 2 other attorneys who told me I was screwed. Then I was lucky to have been referred to Mr. Christiansen. He asked questions the other two attorneys didn't, which revealed issues that noone ...else saw, that changed the complexion of the entire case. Then he worked his tail off to press those issues and got me a great outcome that allowed me to remain home with my family. I cannot say enough about this guy and would highly recommend him to anyone who is in a jam like I was.
