excellent lawyer!

Greek was a phenomenal lawyer for me and my friend. We found ourselves at the wrong place at the wrong time. We both have professional licenses that were on the line and were a mess trying to get our case sorted out. From the beginning, Greek made us feel 10 x better about our case. He had us feeling... better from the moment we sat down in his waiting room. I felt that he really took a personal interest in us. He kept us up to date with what was going to happen and what to expect. I had several questions regarding our licenses and these charges, and he did his best to answer those questions to give us peace of mind. The day before our prelim, I was a mess until I got a call from him personally. He walked me through the next day and reassured me, which made that following day a little easier. The day of our hearing, he kept us informed of what exactly was happening. He managed to work with an extremely difficult attorney of the other defendant (one that I almost lost my cool on a few times, but he reeled me back in) and still got us the best case scenario. Even after the hearing, he was interested in what he could do for us and our licenses. Every step of the way, he was there and made me feel like he cared. My stress level was through the roof but with the Greek as my lawyer, I really felt weight get lifted off my shoulders. I will (hopefully) never need to use a defense lawyer again, but if I do, you can bet I will hire him again.

He's The Real Deal!!

WOW! I don't even know where to start, but I will keep this as brief as possible. Let me start by saying, that Steven is known to be one of the top two attorneys in the beaver County area, and he has that reputation for a reason! My son was involved in a gun incident and facing his third firearm cha...rge. But Steven assured me that he could help us, and he kept his word. My son walked away with a receiving stolen property charge, a one dollar fine for that (keep in mind a gun charge is a fine of $10K automatically) and a (20) month sentence that should have been a (5) year sentence, with his record and score in the criminal Justice system. His original charges involved carrying a loaded firearm without a license, fleeing and eluding a state trooper and several other charges. Steven was able to get all of those charges dropped for one reduced charge of receiving stolen property. He is not one of those lawyers that hides behind his secretary that you can never get a hold or that doesn't respond to your emails or that doesn't call you back he is NONE of those things he is actually the complete opposite! He was always there to talk to me, to comfort me, to assure me, to make me feel like things were gonna be OK when I was crying my eyes out not knowing if my son was going to be gone for (5) years! He comes HIGHLY recommended and he's reasonable. He values family and understands that people struggle sometimes. He worked with me on payments and wasn't the type that ONLY cared about his money! No, he cares about YOU, and the situation you are facing. I appreciated his openness and honesty about the case the entire time. He keeps you updated and in the loop via phone, email, text whatever it took, he kept me up to speed. Thanks For All You Did! DRS Cleveland, OH KMM Beaver, PA

BEST LAWYER EVER!!!!!!!

Twice I've had charges & contacted Steven. I felt hopeless that my future goals for myself were going right out of the window. But thanks to him and the amazing work he does, he was able to have the charges dropped BOTH TIMES! He really is worth every penny you pay. I believe if it were any other law...yer I probably would've ended up with some sort of charges. I highly recommend him! You won't find a better lawyer to defend you!!!!
