Amazing lawyer!

Both Steven Bell and his staff are wonderful and it was a pleasure working with them on my case. I originally found Steven Bell online, he showed up as the top drug defense lawyer in south Florida. I called his office and within minutes I was connected to him directly on his cell phone. He met with m...e to access my case immediately that day and it was Christmas! That alone told me a lot about his work initiative. He continued to impress me by being extremely prompt with returning any and all questions I had for him, and took those questions directly via text to his cell phone. No calling an office and leaving memos or sending an email and waiting long periods of time to hear back. His credentials are also extremely impressive. I highly recommend exploring his website and seeing both his educational background and honors/awards as well as the "case results" section of his website, where you will see an highly extensive list of cases that both he and his partners were highly successful at, many of which are severe felonies that Meltzer & Bell managed to get dropped or have no files charged completely. I myself was facing a felony charge for possession of a controlled substance without a prescription due to being in a car with an individual who had a controlled substance that just so happened to be placed underneath the back of my seat and the owner denied that it was theirs. Therefore, despite it not being truly possessed by me, the officer arrested me for it because laws dictate that it belongs to the passenger in that given situation. Steven Bell worked hard on my case to show the prosecutor that there was no evidence that it was mine and he succeeded at getting no charges filed - it never even had to go before a judge! I would recommend him and his law firm to anyone and words cannot describe how truly grateful I am to have had someone like Steven Bell on my side.

Great attorney, highest recommendation

I hired the firm after being charged with DUI. Before retaining the firm, I read a lot of reviews, and consulted with Steve Bell. Based on our consultation, I determined that Steve had an extensive knowledge of the law and law enforcement in South Florida, and that he was very friendly and non-judgem...ental, just as the reviews had suggested. I decided to retain Meltzer and Bell, and Steve Bell laid out my options. He was able to negotiate the best possible outcome for me, which was what we were hoping for. I couldn't be happier with my representation.

Steven Bell 5 stars!

Steven Bell is by far and away one of the best lawyers i have ever dealt with. He is prompt, on time, very caring, and most importantly agressive and gets the job done for you. Ive dealt with many attorneys in my life, very difficult getting one that even takes your calls, you usually have to go th...rough a paralegal, for example, steve is on point 24 hours a day with this stuff, i would never reccommend another lawyer or firm than his firm, he would get 6 stars if i could! Everytime ive called him, he picks up, everytime ive texted him, he responds, everytime ive emailed him, he replies, AND he s so very organized, i feel lucky to have this guy on my team. I have had attorneys i work with through my job that ill call and wont get a return call for 2 days, ive also had attorneys ive hired for my own personal matter and the same thing happens, this is totally opposite, steve is ON POINT! i strongly reccomend him for any of you that want an A+++ lawyer

Highly recomended, outstanding.

After being arrested for BUI, I found Steven Bell while searching for legal help online. There are plenty of lawyers that advertise there, but after reading a multitude of reviews, I found Steven stood out. His education and experience seemed solid and there were plenty of positive reviews. He was m...y first and last call. He showed great knowledge of the law as well as confidently laying out a game plan. He was honest and straight forward about every aspect of the case. Steven and his Staff were always available for questions and kept me informed of the status. He settled my case quickly and professionally at a fair price. I highly recommend Steven to those of you looking. He is exactly as advertised.

Amazing attorney

I was arrested for DUI. I knew I was innocent, but had no idea how to fight the charge. A call to Mr. Bell proved to be a lifesaver. He got my entire case dropped!
