Stephen Edward Wolverton

My name is Jeff Friend and I was falsely arrested for DUI and Refusal to take a breath test. The State chose to separate the charges and take me to trial for the Refusal first believing it would be an easy win for the State. However, I retained Gutin and Wolverton and Attorney Stephen... Wolverton was my trial attorney. Attorney Wolverton aggressively crossed examined the arresting officer and gave a brilliant closing argument. The Jury came back with a NOT GUILTY verdict. What Stephen Wolverton argued was that there was no probable cause for my arrest so therefore that was no justification for the arresting officer to request a breath test. I do not know of any other Attorney/Law Firm that has been able to receive a NOT GUILTY from a jury on a Refusal charge!!!! Thank you Stephen Wolverton and Harley Gutin for representing me.

Gutin & Wolverton has one of the best reputations in Brevard County, earning respect from judges and fellow attorneys, alike. We chose them to defend our brother when he was recently arrested on a felony VOP charge, facing LIFE in prison. To say the least, we needed the BEST. Their attorney fee was ...more than fair, especially for the amount of work they put into their defense of our brother. Steve Wolverton's argument in court was exceptional and showed just how much research he did preparing for this case. Steve's experience really came through, when our brother needed it the most. I would HIGHLY recommend Gutin & Wolverton for any law matter that you need experience on your side.

Steven, thank you for believing in me. When I was falsely accused of a crime, your compassionate and caring heart enabled you to spend hours researching, preparing, and representing me in court which resulted in a jury deliberating 20 minutes and finding me not guilty. I will always remember your kno...wledge and hard work has allowed me to stay with my family. I have recommended and will continue to recommend you to everyone I know.

I want to say that Stephen and Harley are 2 great attorneys and helped my son with his charges. Stephen is a sincere and trust-able guy that also took the time to hear me and my personal issues with my son. He protected my son and that gave him a fair trial with out breaking us financially. All an...d all I HIGHLY recommend this firm and Stephen. I can not thank him enough. M.L.
