Steven Sassa is Simply The BEST….

With life’s idiosyncrasies I needed the absolute BEST attorney, with a wide array of: Knowledge, Skilfulness and Abilities to defend my case. I chose Steven Sassa, why? With a track record like Mr. Sassa’s thirty (30) plus years in his field it was a no brainier. Mr. Sassa wilfully demonstrated how ...capable he was/is by getting the job done with the BEST outcome for me/us. Mr. Sassa’s unfathomable composure, bamboozling, his opponents and audience is rather captivating, a site to behold. Mere words cannot express my sincere gratitude towards Mr. Sassa for the BEST attorney in defending my case, and soon to your case…Again, if you are looking for THE BEST to masterfully defend your case, then look no further, Mr. Steven Sassa will get you incredible results and prove why you should choose him.

Felony NOLLE PROSEQUI

Choosing to work with Steve was an excellent decision! He assisted my father in a criminal case, persisting until the very end to secure a NOLLE PROSEQUI outcome. I am highly content with his services. Right from the start, he provided thorough explanations, outlining the step-by-step process of the ...case.

Steven Sessa is the BEST Lawyer

Steven Sessa helped me through a terrible time in my life during a domestic violence case. For my first battle with legal troubles, I was clueless, but Steve made sure to take his time to explain everything to me. For a young woman, I didnt know who to turn to and if it would even be something I coul...d afford but Steven was fair and very helpful. I won my case and now can put this terrible time behind me. Steve goes above and beyond and I am so thankful for him and his time!!

Great attorney! Highly Recommended!

I have known Mr. Sessa for 18 years. He has handled criminal cases for me and he is always swift, professional and ultimately got my cases dismissed. He tells it to you like it is. He lets you know your worst day in court and explains the process to you thoroughly. I would highly recommend him to any...one.

Seemed hopeless until Steven Sessa took my case and turned it into a dismissal

I hired Attorney Steven C Sessa in July 2014. My husband and have used his services four times with excellent results. In July of 2014 I was charged with four serious felonies in Martin County Fl. The prosecutor wanted to skip my due process and send me to prison for the three years minimum sentence.... My bond was set at $130,000.00. Steven got this reduced to $26,000.00. Mr.Sessa was a lawyer from another county. In Martin County, this automatically put him and my case at a disadvantage. For six months it looked like the state had an iron clad case against me. Mr. Sessa worked tirelessly and eventually formulated an entrapment defense. His unprecedented understanding of law and research is the only reason this was uncovered. He was nothing short of amazing. Month after month he worked toward the goal of proving his case. He wrote and won countless motions for discovery, and subpoenaed then deposed the informant that was used by the police, the detectives, and other witnesses. He kept winning. The tables began to turn in my favor. Mr. Sessa then wrote a motion for dismissal, It was so well written, and reading it convinced me that I had a real shot. Finally on the afternoon before my court appearance for motion to dismiss, my husband phoned me to tell me that I would not be appearing that next morning. I was not expecting the next words from him, but never the less there it was, "your case has been dismissed"!!! I was overwhelmed to say the least. I will say without a shadow of a doubt that my attorney is nothing short of amazing. He was an 'outsider' attorney in a very conservative county and he worked a miracle! He did something that in Martin County is unheard of!!!! Attorney Steven Sessa is and will always be my Hero!!!!!
