He’s gone down hill

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.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
