Stephen Patrick Shepard

I've known Steve since autumn of 2013. The first day I met him, I was overwhelmed with relief due to how much he had looked into my case. He was very kind and noticeably caring. Saying that he is organized is an understatement. You will not just be another client to him. He never overlooked a single detail throughout my entire case, from my consultation to my expungement. I don't know much about law, and even less about being a lawyer. But I DO know that my case was not simple. I always felt that Steve was doing absolutely anything and everything in his power to represent me, and counsel me as best as possible. I never had a doubt in my mind that I had chosen the best possible attorney to defend me. At the end of my last court date, Steve received a significant verbal compliment from the judge about the way he handles his profession. As we walked out the doors of the court room, we were followed by the states attorney, who claimed that in the long time she had worked with that particular judge, she had never seen him compliment an attorney. Honestly, I was not surprised at all to hear that at all. Steve is one of a kind. I can promise you that.

I met Mr. Shepard after what hung him represent a client of his in Howard county , I was so impressed with his work I hired him on the spot.After speaking with him for the first time I immediately felt at ease from the stress I had due to my case wich was actually two criminal cases all serious charges that had me facing around twenty five years in prison.After discussing my charges with him he then explained to me all the different angles of defending my case.He kept me informed throughout the time I waited for my trial and showed me exactly what his plan was and never once lied to me by promising me an outcome , he was honest and told me his opinion .During the trial it more than showed that he did his homework on my case he couldn't of done any better.Not only did I go home I was either acquitted or found not guilty on all my charges.Just to be clear I was facing twenty five years and in a county if Maryland that has one of the highest conviction rates and he was against a very very angry DA . He knew every aspect of my case along with the laws surrounding it and it showed , he was absolutely perfect . I don't want to sound like I'm over talking Mr Shepard however giving the circumstances I feel confident that if I would if had anybody other than him I would of left the courtroom in handcuffs headed to prison instead of in my car headed home to my family. I owe that man my life and would recommend him to anybody who is in need of legal counsel . I've been in trouble before and hired lawyers who charged me a lot more money and told me the whole time I was going to be fine not to worry and in the end they didn't prepare or fight for me at all compares to what Mr Shepard did , he made it a point to demonstrate his ability and I could not be happier , My family and I are truly grateful to have such a hard working fair and brilliant lawyer on our side we will never forget him .As a side note I will say he was unlike any other lawyer I've ever met his main focus was winning my case not taking all my money I even offered to pay him more and he declined , find another person yet alone lawyer who will do that ! Mr Shepard is excellent at this point in his career and I feel confident he is in his way to becoming an all time great.
