Legal Genius

Mr Meshbesher not only knows and understands the law, but he knows how to get things done. His knowledge of the law allows him to guide his clients through the legal process smoothly. His thorough communication conveys to his clients the situation, the choices to be made, the consequences and what ...his recommendations are so the client can make an informed decision on how to conduct themselves and process decisions. Having worked with other attorneys and professionals in both personal and business transactions, I can say Steve and his team are top notch. You need look no further-hire Steve!

Felony theft case

I’m currently working with Steven Meshbesher regarding a felony theft case. Steven has excellent communication and I know cares about me and the outcome of my case. Steven also provided a unique solution with an out-of-state theft counselor that will help my case. I trust his expertise. I trust his s...taff. And I would definitely recommend hiring him if you are in need of a criminal law attorney.

Excellent Outcome!

With 4 criminal charges leveled against me last spring, my case had the potential of a jail sentence. Mr. Meshbesher thoroughly reviewed the evidence and his strategy with me, assuring me he would get the charges dismissed. Though I had some doubts (about the outcome at pre-trial hearings), Steve's w...isdom and many years of experience prevailed! Three of the four charges were dismissed outright. The judge ordered one year of probation with the fourth charge to be dismissed upon successful completion of probation. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome! Mr. Meshbesher's deft handling of the legal complexities and the excellent support of his firm's staff brought about a happy ending to one of the worst nightmares of my life!! Huge Thank You to Steve and the great people at Meshbesher and Associates!!

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.
