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.

Best lawyer in Beaver County!!!

Steve did everything he said he would do and beyond! I was facing a felony charge for writing bad checks and receiving stolen property. Steve got my charges down to a misdemeanor one with no jail time and probation. I thought that my dream of going back school was over because of the case but now the...re is light at the end of the tunnel. If you want a lawyer who will listen and will fight till the end to get the best result then I would highly recommend Steve Valsamidis.

Very Lazy Defense Lawyer

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.
