Estafador y mentiroso!!!

Triste experiencia con este señor. Lo contrate para un caso penal a su vez migratorio y me cobro por reprentacion en el juicio civil. Todo en un solo pago. En mayo 2020. En diciembre me pide 20 000 mas para ver de hablar para que se retire la denuncia, me prometio que sino era asi me los devolveria,... jamas lo hizo por el contrario a pocos dias devla sentencing me pudio 10,000 mas y me dijo que eran.para la fiscal. Despues tuvo la desverguenza de cobrarme 3000 por acompanarme al uzgado. donde no hablo ni una palabra porque esa comparecencia fue un error de escritorio. No lo denuncie por el estado de trauma y strees que tenia en ese momento. Es una ladtima wue haya profesionales de esta clase , estafando y mintiendo. Nunca se hizo cargo del caso migratorio ni del civil

Beyond Grateful

Steve has been extremely helpful and was able to get a family member out of jail when indeed the case was facing several years in jail. Steve took care of it with professionalism, empathy and transparency. He is quick to response and always strives to have updated information for his clients. I am... extremely grateful for the work he did for my brother in law.

Incredible ! aan honest Lawyer

I normally do not make postings, but in this case I will, I have had the services of Mr. Steven Amster in miami florida, unlike other attorneys well known to my family and myself , this attorney does not drop your case or ignore your calls because of fears, I honestly do trust him, I had an attorney ...that for unkown reasons ignored my calls and then told a family member that she would not take any cases from me or my family because of an ongoing investigation which I have no knowledge of and this I consider as bad ethics due to that she was my attorney there to defend me. well with Mr. Steven Amster you will never have this problem at all he is upfront and honest , he will not take advantage of a client that is afraid due to not having knowledge of what to do. His rates are very reasonable and you will be able to relax and take care of any legal matters. I am glad I hired him and not just on one occasion, he has proven himself to me, and his staff is excellent.

Simply the best!

Steven currently represents both my husband and myself on two separate criminal matters. I have absolutely no complaints. He has handled and resolved each step of this horrible stage in our lives exceeding our expectations. Always has laid out clearly what's to follow without leaving anything out.... He does not make us feel like just another client. Has always shown compassion for us. His assistant Jackie, is very helpful, professional and attentive.
