Steve Rice Criminal Defense Team – They Fought for Me and Won My DUI Case!

Steve Rice Criminal Defense Team – They Fought for Me and Won My DUI Case! I can't say enough about Steve Rice Criminal Defense Team. In my opinion, they are simply the best! I was facing a six-month driver's license suspension starting in September 2026, and I was extremely concerned about los...ing my driving privileges. Not only did they save me from having my license suspended for six months, but they actually won my entire DUI case! Now, anyone who knows anything about DUI cases knows how difficult that is to accomplish, no matter what state you're in. My attorney, Tim Barrouk, from Steve Rice Criminal Defense Team, believed in me and my case from the beginning. He took the time to review the evidence, explain everything to me, and most importantly, he stood by me throughout the entire process. What really stood out to me was how much Tim genuinely cared. I've dealt with attorneys before, but I've never experienced one who showed this level of dedication and commitment to his client. Tim didn't just treat me like another case number. He fought for me, and I will always appreciate that. To anyone reading this review, if you're facing a DUI charge in Pennsylvania and you're in their area, please don't sell yourself short or give up without a fight. Give yourself a fighting chance and contact Steve Rice Criminal Defense Team. They believed in me, they fought for me, and they won my case! Thank you, Tim Barrouk and the entire Steve Rice Criminal Defense Team. You have my respect, my gratitude, and my highest recommendation!

Great Service

Steve and his staff were knowledgeable and extremely easy to work with. They kept us informed and helped us navigate smoothly through a rough spot in our life. I would recommend Steve and his team to anyone requiring a defense law firm.

Great job

The whole team was friendly and helpful. Steve was very thorough in explaining things and efficient in getting them done. I like the communication by text and email which was convenient. Overall, they made an overwhelming experience MUCH easier to handle

Get the Lawyer the truly has your back!

If you need a defense attorney I would go with Steve Rice. I just got out of court today. The results were the lowest possible sentence considering the situation. When you don’t trust your own judgment and need someone in your corner, he’s the guy. Definitely money well spent. I couldn’t have done t...his myself. Thank you Steve!

Would hire again (but I hope not to...)

Mr. Rice listened to and addressed my concerns and got me the deal I wanted.

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.
