When I hired Mr Stein I told him that my goals were to not have a DUI on my record, and to have the case settled as quickly as possible. We were in court about a week later, and settle for a reckless driving conviction. I shouldn’t complain since I got what I asked for, but I'll complain a little. ...I had no criminal record and had only one ticket in the previous 7-8 years (never had a DUI). I was given 1 year probation and 100 hours community service in addition to the standard classes, fines, and fees. I feel that since I was a model citizen prior to this stop, the length of probation and number of comm. svc. hours was excessive. I've talked with others who had the same charge and conviction who received much less punishment. Maybe the punishment was a trade for expedience? All that said, I would definitely recommend Mr Stein. His staff were the definition of professional, and I always felt like they were supporting me and willing to fight for me. Mr Stein has a relatively large practice and I’m sure is very busy, but any time I wanted to speak with him, he got on the phone, and when I was standing before the judge, he was there, not an associate.
