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.

Client

We have been very fortunate to have Steve Wetter as an attorney for our son. Our son was thousands of miles/states away when he needed a great defense attorney. Mr. Wetter went above and beyond his law acumen to give our son a new beginning. We will always be eternally grateful. Mr. Wetter's assi...stant (Dulce Mendoza) is also supreme. Everything was organized and responded to in a timely manner. We cannot say enough about the intelligence, experience, diligence and professionalism we received from Mr. Wetter and his staff.
