Due to poor choices by my son, who was a juvenile at the time, I had to look for an attorney. The first time I hired a high profile Bradenton attorney who not only charged a ridiculous amount but also did nothing (research, subpoenas, interviews, etc...) to build a defense for my child. I was refer...red to Steve Santiago by my sons old Probation Officer, and let me tell you he is an Angel from above. His fee is fair, his service is exceptional, and I was proud to have him by my side in court. He never ignored my calls, always kept me informed, was honest, made sure I knew the best/worst case scenario for how the case may end up, was compasionate and worked extremely hard on my sons case. His office staff is just as kind and always polite, doing whatever they could to help. I would highly recommend Steve to any parent who may be dealing with charges against their child. I have never personally been involved in the legal system and I'm so thankful for having had Steve to represent my son and enlighten me on just how the Judicial System works. I was prepared for the worst on sentencing day and ended up with better than the best outcome. So like I said, if you are a parent who loves your child and wants the BEST, HARDEST WORKING attorney to represent you/your child this is definately the attorney you want to hire. Thank you and God bless.

Looking for a new generation of a proactive attorney who always be in touch? Steve Santiago is the one you must need for your matter. He is always keep you in touch with any information that you would want to know about your case. And he would never let you live in the dark even a second. My case... was a battery charge that happened between me and my husband. I was released in the next day because it was the first time. I was in the darkness and had no idea what to do especially it was an injunction against me on top of it from doing NOTHING. My husband had an evil plan to ruin my life with the chance that he had accidentally. He took advantage from the battery case to get rid of me from his life and be happy with the affair that he had. I could be searched with the criminal history, I could have no chance to get any professional career, I could have been deported back to my hometown. On top of that I had no places to go due to the injunction that he filed against of me to kept me away from home. I was a HOMELESS with battery charge! Can you tell how much I felt at that moment? Once that kind of incident happened to your life you must really want to have someone who really feel the expression you are in. I went to discussed the case with 3 attorneys before I chose to retain Santiago. And of course, I made one of the most wonderful decisions in my life! He was just the light by the end of the tunnel for me. I could tell by the time I discussed the case with him that he would be the great one that match my need. I don't like to have the attorney who will represent me in the way s/he wants without my acknowledgment. I don't like to have the attorney who would just say "I am your attorney, just listen to me". I have had that suffering word enough from my controlling husband. But oppositely, he explained everything in easy to understand terms and kept me informed throughout my case. Santiago is just the kind who will listen and explain to you and would never let you live with any curiosities in the back of your mind. He returned your phone calls and replied your mails once he could. Don't you want that? My case was dismissed and I owe it all to Santiago and his ability. I would recommend him to anyone I know who needs legal help. He was extremely attentive and by far one of the best. His staff is also very polite and helpful. I could not ask for more. 5 stars out of 5.
