Mr.

Even before we entered the courtroom, Mr. Sessa's exemplary professionalism, extensive expertise, and prompt responsiveness stood out. However, it was during the court proceedings that his performance truly shone. Prior to my case, as I observed other attorneys in action, Mr. Sessa's demeanor transfo...rmed the atmosphere entirely. With an impressive blend of charisma and legal acumen, he effortlessly commanded attention, rendering his peers seemingly inexperienced in comparison. His ability to captivate the entire room underscored his mastery of the craft, leaving an indelible impression on me.

If your life is on the line not Steve Sessa

This 5 star ratings has to be fake. Please stop playing with people lives steve sessa is not a good attorny what so ever. I set i jail 5 years on some serious charges and out of those 5 years steve came and saw me 3 times. He knew he was incapable of handling my case and yet he kept taking my famili...es money draggjng us along with lies. My ljfe is ruined because of things he should have done and failed to do so. He kept telling me we are going to trail and how good he feels about. Than when the time came he stopped fighting and forced me to take a horrable plea.

Astonishingly Incompetent and Unprofessional Lawyer

Steven Sessa should be disbarred. I refused to blow on a breathalyzer, and Steven Sessa did not provide adequate consultation or representation for my behalf. Steven Sessa worked with the police department to hide exculpatory evidence of me passing the on-site sobriety test. This disaster ha...s ruined opportunity, financial, and family prospects costing my life and others a couple of magnitudes beyond measure.

Excellent Criminal Defense Lawyer!

Steven was incredibly generous with his time from the beginning. Any other lawyer would charge you for consultations! Steven did not even mention a payment plan after being on the phone with him several times. He generously was more interested in the in and outa of the situation. This was a complicat...ed case (J6 case). He advised me and cared about my well-being. I would highly recommend Steven as a criminal lawyer!

Do NOT hire Steven Sessa

I am pleading you; do NOT hire Steven Sessa. Steven Sessa is completely incapable of providing valuable legal representation. I never once felt like Steven Sessa was on my team. Steven Sessa couldn't even get a key piece of evidence from the police department, which would have exonerated me. You ...are better off lighting $10,000 on fire.
