DUI and DWI 60%

DUI/OVI Defense makes up the majority of Robert's practice. This area of law is very technical. Many attorneys state that they are DUI lawyers but few have earned the badge.

Robert is very selective with the criminal defense cases he accepts. If you are facing a criminal charge and are SERIOUS about fighting it, contact Robert to discuss his representation.

OVI

I contacted Rob to discuss an OVI charge that my grandson received. Rob explained everything and really made me feel comfortable. My grandson hired Rob and was able to beat the charge. We whole heartedly recommend Rob.

Stievater Law LLC

I have known Robert Stievater for over six years. I have used his services for a traffic case which he handled to my complete satisfaction and at a fair rate. I used his estate planning services to set up my will and estate, I have consulted with him on numerous occasions and have also referred sever...al clients to him. The feedback from those I referred to Mr. Stievater was all positive. I highly recommend Mr. Stievater and the staff at Stievater Law LLC. They are thorough, knowledgeable, and professional.

DUI and DWI lawyer | May 01

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I had a criminal case in the Cleveland area (I am from the Cincinnati area) and I watched Rob argue a motion to suppress while I was waiting for my client's case to be called. I was so impressed with Rob's handling of the motion I went up and introduced myself to him. I could tell he really knew all aspects of DUI law and was very comfortable in court. During his argument the judge asked him several questions but Rob handled each question flawlessly. He was very well prepared. After getting to know Rob a little better, I worked a case with him and I found him to have a great work ethic and was always more prepared than the prosecutor. I know Rob does mainly DUI but I have sent clients to him for many criminal matters in the Cleveland area. Every client has been happy with my referral. He is a top notch lawyer."
