Steve Reina was raised in a City of Detroit family short on money but long on faith: faith that hard work does pay off, faith that when people do things for the best of reasons, they get the best results and perhaps most importantly that we speak mostly truly when we speak through actions. Our ultimate signature in life is what we do. What Steve Reina did was graduate with honors from High School a year early. What Steve did achieve was an undergraduate degree with honors where he also served as Honors Student President. What Steve did achieve was graduate from Law School becoming editor in chief of the Wayne State Law Advocate. The day he was sworn in as a member of the state bar association, Steve was made law partner with retired Judge Joseph Linden and trial Attorney Arnold Dunchock at Dunchock, Linden and Reina PC. In 1993, Steve broke off to start his own firm which eventually had five offices in southeastern Michigan. When Steve was blessed with a wife and daughter, he temporarily downsized his practice for many happy years to focus on being a husband and father. After his daughter’s marriage Steve continued his practice and seeking to treat all clients like he would want his own family treated.

Steve was excellent, again! This is the second time I’ve had Steve represent me and in both cases he went above and beyond. In what seemed like a no win case, in both cases, he prevailed!

"Steve is an excellent attorney, with extensive experience in criminal defense. He has offered his time and help on past complicated cases of mine. I would not hesitate to recommend him."
"Steve is the one attorney whose creative legal mind I have always admired. He is the kind of smart that one must be "outside the box" prepared in order to hope to keep pace in the battle. That advantage is one that many prosecutors do not see coming. Just this week a clerk who watched him get his most recent jury NG said to me when describing the trial, "you know Steve - he's so intellectual and so energetic in front of the jury..." I do know Steve. I keep detailed mental notes of our conversations because he always provides such rich information. He is a legal force to be reckoned with. You have been warned!"

Steve is an intelligent man who can immediately spot the issues involved in criminal cases and handles them effectively. I have no doubt that he provides excellent representation to all of his clients, having witnessed it first-hand on numerous occasions."

He is always thoroughly prepared and aggressive when necessary. Steve is a professional advocate for those that he represents and anyone needing assistance on a criminal defense or family law issue would be wise to consult with him."

"Steven works hard for his clients. He has great trial experience, and knows his way around a Courtroom."
"Steve and I tried a very difficult sexual assault case together - and won. I was impressed by his creative thinking and his fierce committment to his client.
