The Only Attorney to Call When Your Life is on the Line

I consulted with Steve after it was clear that the attorney we hired just wanted to get our case over with. That attorney did not listen to our defense and for lack of a better term our case was a simple cash grab. Steve took a true interest in our case, listened to the circumstances and our defen...se, and ultimately delivered. I also believe it was important for him to get to know us as people as opposed to a "client." He achieved the exact results he said he would and because of his diligence, persistence, knowledge of the law, & reputation, our loved one was spared a severe sentence that was on the line and pending with the first attorney. Steve's a good guy and you can trust him with your life. Speaking from experience, if you do not go to Steve you are taking a massive risk with your reputation, your freedom, and life as you know it. That may sound harsh but this guy is the best; there is none better.

Great knowledge of the law

I needed help and my situation felt like I was David versus goliath. Well we all know who wins and I really owe thanks to Mr. Collafella. The lawyer you choose makes a difference. Sincerely, Tm Boyle

Best of the Best!

Steve helped me resolve my situation from start to finish just the exact way he said he would. He helped calm me down when I made my first call to him and was noting but professional during the whole time I worked with him. Call Steve he is the best of the best in Pittsburgh!

Good criminal lawyer!

I was very pleased with the way Mr. Colafella represented my daughter, Christina, during her non-jury trial. He was able to work with the DA and did all that he could to work out the best deal for his client. As another reviewer wrote, "he went above and beyond" what was expected of him. And he is v...ery down to earth and easy to talk to, but very professional in the courtroom.

GREAT JOB

I MET WITH STEPHEN. HE TOLD ME EVERYTHING WAS BS. I WAS WORRIED. HE CALLED ME THE DAY OF THE PRELIMINARY HEARING, TO MAKE SURE I WAS IN THE RIGHT PLACE TO MEET HIM. I NEVER WENT INTO THE COURTROOM. EXCEPT TO BE THERE WHEN THE CHARGES WERE WITHDRAWN. THANK YOU.
