    Informative And On Top

    Attorney Stevin Groth did a tremendous job, representing me, and while my case wasn’t high profile, treatment and consideration was. Very up front and honest. Will definitely refer and call on again.

    Best Attorney

    Posted by

    I was an out of Towner at a concert in Toledo. Got into a little bit of trouble with the police couldn't find an attorney to represent me because of lack of time before my hearing. Luckily got a hold of Mr. Groth. Not only did he get all my charges from the concert dismissed, but he offered to help me get my record sealed. If you need a true 5 star attorney then Stevin Groth is your man! Thanks Again Stevin!

    Very impressive

    Posted by

    Sitting in court, waiting for my case to be heard. I witness multiple lawyers, and to be unbiased, Stevin J.G was by far the best. Well spoken, smooth talking, and not to mention as calm as a summers breeze. He really cares about his clients and wishes, as well as strives, for the best for them. I greatly appreciate him taking my case. Fantastic man!

    Excellent Lawyer. Highest Recommendation.

    Posted by

    You don't need a lawyer till you NEED one. In the search for legal representation, I had met with another lawyer and talked to many others about a personal issue I never thought I would encounter. Stevin was the last lawyer I reached out to because I knew he was who I needed to deal with my case. I called his office, and he returned my call while he was out of state on vacation. He took the time right then to talk through my incident with me. He was professional and understanding. Stevin was was honest and forthright about the possibilities, but sensitive as well. I had assumed that he would pass our case off to a subordinate, but he didn't. He handled the whole case himself, start to finish. Stevin has a great reputation in the area and with the prosecutors office, which is important in gaining credibility since he becomes your representation when dealing with the court system. I would absolutely hire Stevin again and give him my highest recommendation.

    BEST ATTORNEY EVER...!!!

    Posted by

    Stevin is by far the best attorney we have ever had!! He is very professional and from the moment we had our consultation we were very relaxed knowing we were in good hands and hired him immediately. My daughter was facing several charges. She didn’t have a prior record but was now facing a couple felonies plus some misdemeanors. Stevin was able to get everything dismissed and she only has to pay a couple ticket fines and court cost. There is not a scale that goes high enough to rate Stevin. If you need an attorney you should hire Stevin without hesitation. He is very reasonably priced and worked with us on payments. We are sooo grateful for him and we will keep his number forever, just in case...

    In a Bad Place at a Bad Time

    Posted by

    First time Visitor to Lucas County to do a craigslist exchange. Accidentally parked in a suspected local heroine trafficking spot and got pulled over by undercover police. I had been charged with mishandling a firearm in a motor vehicle. I did not have my CCW but I feared for safety as I realized that the meeting spot chosen was not ideal. Stevin was very professional and guided us through the entire process during our free consult. After hiring, everything went exactly as planned in the consult! For being a first time offender with no previous convictions or arrests, I was able to have my charge dismissed with a simple online class for basic safety. I am very pleased with his service. Very professional and fast turnaround! Anytime we had a question he was just a text or call away! Definitely recommend!!

    Bogus hit and run charge

    Posted by

    We hired Atty Groth to represent our daughter-in-law in a situation where a hit and run charge was filed. Atty Groth proved in court that the whole situation had basically been blown out of proportion. The charge was drastically reduced thanks in part to Atty Groth's persistance and professionalism. He is very much a credit to his profession.
