Best of Luck

Steven is my first attorney I've ever spoken to and never have I thought I will get a very well turn out. God sent me his way for a reason. It's probably an eagle scout thing, haha! He gave me the best advice, pointed me in the right direction for my traffic violation that I thought I was doomed for ...but looks like I got what I wanted. I can never thank him enough.

Excellent work

Mr Johnson was very helpful at resolving my traffic violation. He was knowledgeable of the court and straightforward with me about my situation. He took care of everything necessary and kept me informed. Highly recommend.

Very Helpful Advice

I called Mr. Johnson for advice on some traffic charges. He spent over 45 mins talking with me and explaining options and things he could help with and things that were beyond help. By the end of the conversation I felt I had a much better grasp on the charges and my options. Thank you very much Mr. ...Johnson! Oh, and he didn't charge me a penny for all the help. A helpful, non-greedy lawyer in this day, how refreshing!

Excellent Service

I live in Illinois and both my wife and I travel frequently to Door County. Stephen has handled two traffic violations for us within the last two years and we have been completely satisfied with the outcomes of each case. He is very professional, provides excellent guidance and in both cases we rec...eived a reduced violation. I would definitely hire him again and recommend his services.

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.
