Review for the best lawyer out there!

If you’re considering hiring a defense attorney, hire Mr. Wetter — he is truly the best decision you can make. I initially retained another attorney with great online reviews, but my experience was disappointing. The “best case scenario” I was given would have had serious consequences for my caree...r in healthcare. It also felt very different from what was promised during the hiring process. I left feeling like my case was just another file, without much compassion or understanding of how deeply a conviction would impact my future. After doing more research, Mr. Wetter was recommended to me by both a police officer and a trusted colleague. I am beyond fortunate that I made the switch. From our first conversation, it was clear he knew exactly what he was doing. His background as a former prosecutor, combined with his experience as a seasoned defense attorney, gives him an exceptional understanding of the legal system from both sides. He approached my case with confidence, strategy, and more important than anything else, you can tell he genuinely cares. My case was not easy, but he went above and beyond — and ultimately was able to get it dismissed, saving me from having a conviction on my record and protecting my professional future. My only regret is not hiring him from the start. Thank you, Mr. Wetter. Your dedication, expertise, and compassion made a life-changing difference for me. I am more grateful than words can express. Thank you so much, truly.

Top notch lawyer!

Steven Wetter did a great job for me! He handled a DUI case with professionalism and told me from the very beginning not to worry about anything. His assistant Dulce is top notch and also makes you feel like you're being taken care of through the whole process.

Very Experienced and Dependable Lawyer

My son was falsely accused of sexual harassment under Title IX in college. At first, we were in shock and after researching online, we felt the need to hire an attorney due to the complexity of Title IX. We chose Steven Wetter for his many years of experience and specialty in Title IX. Best decision ...we ever made! Mr. Wetter made himself readily available to my son every step of the way. He provided sound advise and devised a sharp strategy to fight the false allegations which ultimately favored my son. If you ever find yourself in the same situation, hire an experienced attorney who has specialized knowledge of the campus administration process. An attorney's presence may also put pressure on school officials to follow procedures carefully. Highly recommend Mr. Wetter!

Extremely Dissapointed

I used this attorney in good faith that he would do everything possible to help my under age son with his first offense. He reiterated he was an expert on getting the courts to agree to the youthful offender program. We waited months without any follow through or news, the only response was, "we hav...en't received the states offer." Almost a year later, we get one offer and he tells the state " he will sell it". And "sell it" he did. The easy way out, without a fight. He didn't depose the victims or police officers. He piggy backed out of another attorney who represented the kid who committed the exact same crime with my son and who was also the driver. That attorney was always so well prepared and helped get the other offender for the exact same crime 6 months VERSUS my son who was committed to 6 years. And he wasn't even the driver. How can there be such disparity in conviction and results? When we received the states offer, he said that was our BEST option, he never said an open plea would be worth it, he deterred us from it. He said "if my son gets more than 20 years, per an email he sent, then we will ask for it". And so I listened. To the wrong person. Who was simply too busy to care to push his hardest for this case. My son was a victim of your lack of apathy and commitment. What is worse, he is too proud to admit it, and truth COULD have set my son free. I will NEVER forget what you did and how you made us feel.

Your search stops here!!!

Steven Wetter has been my husband’s attorney and confidante for legal matters and we can not imagine having gone through this without his guidance. He has an incredible amount of knowledge in his field, and abilities to see our case from every angle and explain the expectations, steps required to fol...low and potential outcomes. Steven is always available for questions or concerns. Sometimes he is not always super quick to respond but we have always found that he is always working on the response. He really makes sure he has all his facts and information together and complete for you so as not to take up valuable time! He is a very caring individual and truly cares about the outcome of your case. He puts his heart and soul into his line of work and it shows each and every time we meet with him! When looking for an attorney to fit your legal needs your search should stop with Steven Wetter!
