Fifth dui

I got a fifth owi the da wanted to give me a felony charge six months in jail three years no license and a hefty fine. I called Steve Mays he said I should have called sooner I paid him half up front and he let me make payment's for the rest which was great. Steve went to work right away I had no mor...e court dates to attend about a year later he got rid of a prior owi so I didn't get the felony charge my fine is only 600 bucks and 45 day's jail. I'm just laughing at the da now that's a slap on the wrist. Steve was excellent to work with he took care of everything and his assistant Melissa was amazing to work with.These guys know exactly what they are doing and won't waste your money couldn't be more thrilled very happy with the way everything turned out. Definitely would recommend to anyone.

Above and beyond

I found myself in a situation which I consider to be the darkest period of my life. Not only was Mr. Mays able to have some of what I was charged with dropped but was also able to have the remaining charge reduced in severity to its lowest level. More so, he advised on and helped me deal with s...ome of the fall-out of my situation that I didn't think he was required to do. I've heard and read of people saying that only the rich are able to afford the best legal representation but Mr. Mays, in my mind, has proven that a fallacy. I could have paid more for much larger law firms but none of them that were available in my area even came close the reputation that Mr. Mays has now the experience he has demonstrated. I will forever be indebted to him.

DUI - AMAZING ATTORNEY

Stephen really listens and cares about his clients and the results prove it. Incredibly professional and thorough throughout the process from the first phone call to the final judgement. His knowledge and detail were beyond expectation with complete empathy for his clients situation and their stres...s involved throughout this process. I couldn't have been any more satisfied with the outcome and am extremely grateful he was sitting beside me.

Highly recommend Stephen Mays!

Mr. Mays was recommended to me by one of my family members who spoke very highly of him. Steve could not have been more professional, knowledgeable and helpful -- ultimately, he went above and beyond and was able to get the result we were hoping for. I was so pleased with his efforts on my behalf as ...well as the result he was able to secure. I would recommend him to anyone in need of legal advice and/or representation! I was extremely impressed and grateful for his help!

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.
