Steven Valsamidis

Steven was hired and paid $6,000. He told me from the beginning that this would be an easy case. The case went on for 21 months before I called the ADA and made a better deal in 5 minutes than Steven could in 21 months. He lied about numerous things and blamed the ADA and Judge. Steven wouldn’t retur...n my last 3 calls and quit on me the day before trial. The judge allowed this because he lied to him as well. He skipped my preliminary trial and lied about this as well. When I confronted him he got upset and said I could fire him if I wanted to. This man can only make plea deals. Don’t hire him if you are truly innocent. My case had over 8 continuances in my behalf and I didn’t ask for one of them. In my opinion this man is garbage and a coward. I would tell him this to his face but he screens my calls and won’t return my messages. I’ve reported him to the PA bar association.

Mr. Valsamidis was ready to give up from the very beginning. He provided misinformation about a particular defense and when I looked it up and proved that he was wrong, he agreed with me but said that he didn't want to use that defense. He made the statement, "I wish that law library didn't exist" ...(or words to that affect). He provided one story to my wife and then another story to me, so I do not find him trustworthy. It takes him days to respond back to you. I don't think he is Knowledgeable about the law. And you only hear back from him a few days before the trial. He went on a vacation to Greece and kept a pending legal matter on hold for over a month. I would NOT recommend this lawyer.
