About Steven
Biography
I have been practicing criminal law for over 10 years, with a concentration on sex crimes, DWI, and drug posession and trafficking. I have had great success at both the trial and appellate level in criminal cases, and have also successfully represented individuals in cases or police brutality and wrongful death at the hands of police.

Great Lawyer, Great Guy
Thank you , Steve. You told me the first day you would "take care of me", and you did. I am home with my kids tonight after other lawyers said that was nearly impossible. You are a great lawyer and friend.
