Posted by anonymous | September 29, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

The guy you want in your corner when the chips are down.

Being charged with a crime is scary. Mr. Steinmetz eased by fears. When I met with Mr. Steinmetz, he carefully reviewed the evidence in my case with me and went over a variety of possible scenarios. He started formulating a game plan before our intial consultation was even over and pointed out a v...ariety of potential problems with the state's evidence. I was on the fence about whether to plead or try the case. Mr. Steinmetz urged me to stand strong and not accept the state's offer, even though it assured I wouldn't be going to jail. Mr. Steinmetz explained the problems witht he prosecution's case and tried the case. Not only did Mr. Steinmetz secure a not guilty result in court, the prosecutor was clearly pissed. Because of Mr. Steinmetz's willingness to stand firm, even when an easy option presented by the state, I was able to walk away free and get my case expunged in a very short time. I will definitely return to Mr. Steinmetz if I ever need an attorney again.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
