Criminal Defense 100%

I am a criminal defense lawyer working in both federal and state courts. My practice emphasizes appeals and postconviction matters but I also have a significant trial and motions practice, primarily handling serious felony cases. I have expertise in sentencing advocacy and in sex offender litigation. I also consult on constitutional law matters, especially involving discrimination, and in disability cases involving HIV/AIDS.

Elizabeth Rogan

Appeals lawyer | Mar 12

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I first learned about Steve while reading a winning decision in an important speedy trial appeal. Subsequently, I had the pleasure of serving as co-counsel with Steve on a complex mortgage fraud case, that involved both trial level defense and an appeal, on which we worked together. He is a thorough, knowledgeable and effective attorney. I highly recommend him."

Criminal defense lawyer | Dec 25

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Stephen is one of the best appellate attorneys in the country. He has spent his entire career protecting the rights of the disenfranchise. His most recent achievement was in helping to overturn the Unconstitutional provision of the sex offender statute relating to "homeless" individuals in Santos v. State (2008) by voluntarily providing an amicus brief on the issue. He is brilliant, trustworthy, and compassionate. I highly recommend him."
