Steven Christopher Sessa

On March 31st 2014, I got arrested and was charge with Aggravated Assault with a deadly weapon and Firing a a firearm within a moving vehicle. At that time my family and I were in dire need of a good but affordable attorney; and Steven Sessa was whom my family and I chose to represent our legal matt...ers. Steve tells you exactly how it is and what you should and need to know. No sugarcoating. Once hired, he proceeded to work on the case as soon ASAP and always trying his best get the case to drop. He truly cares about his clients. The first deal the state offered me was a 3 years prison or we could go to trial, but if we lose face 20 years in prision, we rejected the plea. After many motions, depositions of the witness, victim, and the arresting officer to prove to the state that they can't prove their charges the state still refused to drop the case and didn't want to corporate with us with a lesser deal or a case dismissal. Steve kept working as hard as he could do resolve the case which would be in our favor. Many motions were filed just so that the state would be able to prove the charges and they couldn't. Steve would always show up to court with me and ready to fight and represent for me. A year and a few months after rejecting many plea deals in order to solve the case, Steve was able to get the state to only charge me with "Discharging a firearm in public" which is a 1st degree misdemeanor. The reason he couldn't get the whole case to drop was due to my confession to the police officers I made during my arrest which I confessed that I did discharge the weapon but there was never any act of aggravated assault occurred nor any crimes being committed, but the state believed otherwise. Also, Steve was willing to work with me and my family in regards to payment and not once stopped working on the case because he didn't get paid. Even when we owed him, he continued to defend my case. Steve really knows his stuff and very knowledgeable in what he does. Finally, I was charge with a misdemeanor and not felonies. I didn't have to do any probation, prison, jail time or pay a fine. I just had to pay standard court cost. So, On April 24th of 2015 I walked out the court house and everything was over with. As a result, my family and I shall forever thank Steve and his team for helping me get through this without any jail, prison or probation. I certainly will never forget what he has done for me and i my family. I would recommend Steve to anyone or family members and friends of mine.

Mr. Sessa recently represented me in a case that could have ruined my career and life. His knowledge of the legal system and communication with all parties involved, especially with the court system is to be commended! He was honest with me through out this tremendously stressful situation! he under...stood my anxiety and found ways to "handle" me on those most stressful days! I would highly recommend Mr. Sessa to anyone seeking professional, sound legal advice. He was able to resolve my situation successfully. Thank you Mr. Sessa, you are a blessing to all. C.S

I first met Steven Sessa after being released on bond for an arrest on charges called "Domestic battery with Strangulation" In short, I was accused of putting my hands around my wife's throat during an argument. She was not actually strangled, or even hurt, but that's irrelevant. This is a much m...ore serious charge than "Domestic Violence" which can be as little as touching someone's arm or hand. Without going into the specifics of what happened, I'll tell you that I was horrified about the whole matter. My daughter was just 1 year old at the time, and I was told right away that I wouldn't be able to see her for a long time. This didn't seem fair, because she was not present when this occurred. There was talk of jail time for the offense. The court then offered 2 years of probation (I had no criminal record) along with an order that I would only be able to see my daughter in the presence of whoever the court deemed appropriate, be drug tested, etc. My wife and I wanted to seek counseling, and work this out as a family. She and I knew the truth about what had occurred. We knew we had a problem. But we agreed that the state prosecutor and the court system did not seem to have our interests, and most importantly the best interests of our child, at heart. Steven got extremely involved. We had long conversations in his offices that I know I was never billed for on time basis. He cared. He actually listened to me. He understood how I felt as an accused felon, as a father. I refused to take the plea agreements offered by the prosecutor. He advised me on what was possible, and did everything he could to keep me out of jail, and worked toward the ending that would reunite my family. In time, the entire case was dismissed. Now, my daughter is five years old, and my wife and I are happy. nobody uses violence in our family. We do argue. After all, it's been almost 30 years! But we handle it as a family. When I look into my daughters beautiful eyes, I give thanks for all the blessings that have made our lives together possible. Steven knows I'm a devoted father; we keep in touch. And it is my hope that after reading this you understand that Mr Sessa is a guy you want on your side.
