Saved My Future

Some crimes are petty but with one bad decision in the right circumstances petty crimes will keep you from getting a good job. After my crime I didn't know who to turn to. I was someone who had never been in trouble. Steve was the first attorney I talked to and after speaking with other lawyers in th...e area, I knew he was the right choice. He was extremely knowledgeable and out to help me get out of trouble and not bill me beyond reason. He had great connections and was a very good guy. He was straight forward and honest about options and was able to get me out of trouble so I could move on in the other major areas of my life without worry. He's wonderful!

Your BFF in the courtroom

I hadnot ever been in trouble. When I was arrested all I could do is cry. I called Mr. Wright the next day which was a Sunday, and left him a message. He called me back two hours later and I had an appointment that afternoon. He explained exactly what was going to happen and how he would get me off. ...He walked me to court and sat with me. Everything went just as he said. After the third court date my case was dismissed. Call Mr. Wright if you are in trouble. He is great.

Criminal matters

Mr. Wright worked hard to get me out of a DWI 3. I was facing a suspension of my license and he was able to work with the DA so that I could keep my license. He is very knowledgeable about the law and was very responsive to me. He explained everything he did or was going to do so that I understood wh...at could or might happen. I highly recommend Mr. Wright and suggest calling him if you are in trouble.
