"I endorse this lawyer because he's simply (1) a good guy, sincerely nice and great to talk to and (2) he enjoys his job and he's a true pro: he's prepared for court and has the skills to defend you if you're accused. I've represented co-defendants along side attorney Steenson and he was a great advocate to have along your side in criminal court. If you go with him as a client, you're in good hands."
"I have watched Derek go to the proverbial mat for his criminal clients the last two years. He simply could not work harder for them."
