Felony possession charge of crack cocaine and xanax - NO FILE!!!!

This guy is a life saver. Had a very unfortunate thing happen to me and a rough time in my life, i was arrested (pulled over originally for speeding) and the officer found in my car crack cocaine, a crack pipe, and Xanax in my jean pockets. Called Attorney Bell the second i bonded out and retained hi...m instantly. ONE MONTH later, i got a text from him and he said the state decided to not file charges because of unlawful search! That easy and quick, all the fear and anxiety off my back! I have retained him again to help me get my record expunged. Communication is great, He is straight to the point and non judgemental! Best lawyer in Florida, if i am ever in trouble again i will call Attorney Bell! If you are arrested for anything! This guy will perform a miracle

Great lawyer

This past year I bought myself a new toy. It's the third bike I've owned, so Im familiar with the tickets that come with it. So far Steve has had my reckless driving reduced to a 50$ fine and driving school.-no points. Had my driving without a license dropped-no points. And a 30 over speeding ticket ...to a fine and driving school-no points. I'd have to say this law-firm handles their own. If your looking for a stress free way of handling your tickets call Meltzer and Bell.

Look no further for a more experienced and hardworking lawyer

I got a DUI on my birthday last July and knew right away i had to call an experienced DUI lawyer to help me through difficult situation. I searched around on the web and his firm popped up. As soon as i met him for a consulation to go over my case, i knew i picked the right lawyer. He was understandi...ng and never once did i feel judged or looked down upon for this poor decision. Steven is extremely knowledgable and is well respected by other lawyers, judges and prosecutors. I knew i was in good hands. He was able to get me into the Diversion Program for First Time Offenders and had my DUI dropped down to Reckless Driving. I was extremely happy with the results he was able to get for me. I have about 3.5 months left of probation to go and extremely thankful that Steven helped me stay out of jail. He always has his client's best interest at heart! Thank you so much Steven for not letting this one time event ruin my future!!! Im forever grateful!!! Hire him if you want the best outcome possible for your case!! I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!

A Lawyer who TRULY cares!!!!!

I've never gotten in trouble with the law, and subsequently have never needed a lawyer. Mr. Bell was the first interaction I've ever had with one. I was apprehensive, and extremely stressed out. He really put my mind at ease after our first conversation. Mr. Bell is a superb professional who truly ha...s his client's best interests in mind. He sincerely cares about them! It was a tremendous weight off my shoulders knowing that Mr. Bell was doing everything in his power to help me out, and he did. He consistently kept me in the loop with the latest progressions, and worked diligently to have my charges dismissed. I would immediately recommend Mr. Bell and his firm to anyone who needs legal assistance without hesitation or reservations. THANK YOU, Mr. Bell!!

Tim Lee Somerset, ky

I contacted Mr Bell about a week ago, I told him that I needed to get my license back in my state. I explained to him the whole situation, and Mr Bell told me that for his flat reasonable rate he would help me out. Well I done all on my end and so did he. A week later I was able to get my license bac...k no issues at all. And I had not had them for 6 long years. I would use him anytime if I lived in fl. He is honest, responsiv, reliable, super friendly..
