Criminal defense lawyer | Dec 20

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"There was a time when I would regularly handle cases in the Federal Court for the Western District of Wisconsin. As time passed, it became apparent to me that having a Madison lawyer, who worked tirelessly for his clients in both Federal and State court, handle those federal matters for my clients in most instances was in their best interest. When making such a referral, Steve was at the top of the list. His brilliance, knowledge of the law, and courtroom skill are beyond reproach, and he fights as hard for those he represents as any other attorney I've ever seen or known. He also has fought with determination to preserve the Constitutional rights and protections granted our criminal case clients. I recommend him highly."
