Posted by anonymous | December 14, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

The best criminal defense I could ever asked for

I was charged with felony 6 child abuse/neglect, with all my life (career, family and potential deportation if convicted) on stake, I desperately needed to win this case. Steve was retained to represent me in this case. He delivered the best outcomes I could ever ask for. First, we won the prelim...inary hearing and the case was dismissed by J&DR court. However, the Commonwealth did an indictment and the case went to circuit court for Jury trial. For the second time, we won and the case was stricken by the court at the trial. I highly recommend Steve with no reservation based on my personal experience. He is very competent with big expertise in cross-examination (he asked brilliant questions), highly skilled in presenting the case to judge and Jury, fully prepared by studying similar old cases, very strong in closing statement, and most importantly, he cared for his client and fought hard to win. I have never got myself in legal trouble before this, and I know how anxious and painful the ordeal is. This review serves to appreciate what Steve has done for me, but also to help someone in my old shoes to find a good attorney to get life back. It has been a nightmare for me in the past months. Thanks God, Thanks Steve, I am FREE.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
