Steven Haney

Steve is a fantastic lawyer that will go to bat for you at every angle and can be counted on. I was a first timer offender with a Super X felony that with my combined charges carried 80 years in prison. I spent 5 months in jail, when it was supposed to be around 10, and was released to rehab. The entire case was probably historical because during my sentencing I was given a chance to have my felony vacated through convincing the prosecutors to agree to TASC probation. He was also able to get my probation terminated early after 3 years and now as a soon to be college graduate this winter at a top state university - I will now be able to apply for jobs and be able to say "I'm not convicted of a felony." Steve changed my life and the fact he was able to drop my charges from a Super X, to an X, then to a class 1 - he's a miracle worker. I now can put a horrible mistake I made when I was 19 behind me thanks to his tireless help and dedication to my case. My family and I can't ever thank him enough.

I met with many lawyers regarding my DUI case but after meeting Steve I knew he was the only one that could get the job done. He explained all court processes thoroughly and is extremely honest. He takes all necessary steps for the best outcome. I would recommend him to anyone regarding their criminal case. Dependable with and an exceptional track record.

Mr.Haney was very knowledgeable and professional in his handling of a very important case for me. What he had told me at the outset of the case, when I first retained him, was exactly how it eventually finished. He will always be my first choice for an attorney should I ever need one again.

I have hired Steve on 2 separate criminal cases. 1 in 2008 and 1 in 2010. Both times I had Steve as my attorney he handled my cases with the greatest professionalism. He treated me like a person and not a paycheck. He is very straightforward which is needed in those situations when it feels like your world is collapsing. He also takes the time when he talks to you. He’ll listen to what your thoughts are on all the available options. If you need an attorney to get the job done call him.

I misjudged the severity of what I thought was a minor issue and found myself being charged with a class 4 felony that would have ruined my chances at my future profession. Steven was candid with me and walked me through the whole process and the many possibilities that could result. He was Genuine in his interest to get me the best possible result and honest with the probabilities of each strategy. What was the outcome? All charges dropped and my future is mine again!

Steve Haney represented me in my case, he was amazing! He knew how to act and what to say when the times were needed. He is well known and respected! Steve's office and staff is very professional and friendly. I truly believe he puts all his feelings and experience that he has for representing his clients. I would definitely recommend Steve Haney!!

Steven Haney is an excellent attorney for domestic battery case. He explained me the pros and cons in every court date and helped me make the right decision. He was always approachable. He returned my call same day. Finally he helped me get out of the case with NO conviction. I would highly recommend him.

I hired Stevie for my DUI incident in 2015 and he is very efficient and to the point. I could see all the Judges know him know him in the Joliet Court and is very well respected. I also got my RDP in the first hearing with his Steves representaion.

I was arrested for a DUI and faced going to jail. I had a consult with Mr. Haney and he had put my fears to rest. Though I did lose my license for a while Mr. Haney did all he could to keep it from going any further. He was always to the point and always returned phone calls in regards to any questions I had. When he was no longer representing me he still took the time to give me advice so that I could get my license back. I would recommend Mr. Haney to anyone who is in need of a very knowledgeable defense attorney.

Life may not be fair, but God is good. During the Spring of 2017, after my deployment from Iraq/ Kuwait with the U.S Army, I found myself behind bars ( incarcerated) for a reckless mistake. A mistake that could have easily destroyed my career and given me a criminal record. But I knew I was not a bad person; no clue of what to do or say in my defense. For the first time in my life I was in fear of how my wife and family would think of me. Although the firearms were legally my own, I knew now my life would change knowing I had been charged for unlawfully carrying them. Knowledge is what I needed. Someone experienced enough to save me from such a dreadful fate. That's when I was put in contact with defense attorney Mr. Steven Haney. straight forward and to the point, Mr. Haney informed with all that I should expect to happen and what he was willing to do in providing myself and my family with the best possible outcome. And thank this man enough, with not only the effort in reducing charges, but to entirely dismissed the case and avoid any criminal convictions. I mean who wouldn't agree that's one heck of a deal. Not only was I able to return to my active duty station and continue my service to our great nation along side my wife, but also applied and forego the process of becoming a Chicago Police Officer. I am grateful to have such a lawyer in my defense, with all his support, honesty and professionalism. Attorney Mr. Steven Haney can always be referred by myself or my family for anyone in search of an Illinois Defense Attorney.

Early 2017 my younger brother was arrested for drug charges. He was facing a class X felony for the delivery of a controlled substance. After interviewing a couple of lawyers my family and i decided to go with Steven Haney. The reviews on here don't lie, we read some reviews and decided to contact Steven because of his expertise in drug cases and his knowledge and contacts in the will county judicial system. From the get-go Steven never sugar coated anything letting us know exactly the type of charges my brother was facing. He told us the absolute worst case scenario but at the same time told us the best outcome we can hope for. Throughout the court hearings he kept us informed and returned phone calls, emails and texts professionally. I'm happy to say that we got the best outcome for my brother. He was facing up to 6 years in prison for his class X but Steven bought the charges down and got him on probation for 3 years! I cannot thank him enough for everything he did for my brother and my family. He literally gave my brother another chance at life.. If your facing criminal prosecution in Will county, Steven is the guy you need to call.

We hired Steven to handle a criminal case the state had against our son. From the very beginning he was extremely honest, even if it meant hearing what we didn't want to hear. He worked very hard on the case and was able to work out an amazing deal for son. Our son avoided some really harsh penalties for some really stupid stuff he did. In the end our son is able to go on his life path and succeed in his goals. None of that would be possible without the hard work Steven put into the case.

With Steven you know you are getting the best representation. He is honest and knowledgable about the options you have and how the judge is going to respond. You can tell when he walks into the courtroom that he is very respected by his peers. He had me in and out of 7 court appearances in less than 30 mins each time. The most important thing in a case can be your attorney's relationship with the DA or ADA, and Steven has a great working relationship with the state's attorneys. This was a huge factor in getting the decision I needed for my case. Trust me when I say a deal is a deal with Steven; when you hire Steven Haney you get more than what you pay for. He was always willing to meet/talk with me when I had any questions or concerns. Thanks again Steve!!

Mr. Steve Haney & Associates, When faced in the public eye of a criminal investigation, you have no clue what to do. You are stuck in the corner of a room and a million questions are being asked all around you. Most, are coming from within yourself. Steve went above and beyond in my case to provide the best defense that I had. Truly, I had none; but he made sure that the processes were legal and that I understood of the processes. I still live with my parents, and like any parents—they were worried sick about their child. He not only walked me through the processes, but made accommodations for my parents as well. He was straight-forward, attentive and always returned your call within the matter of minutes. He not only told me in a straight forward nature what I needed to accomplish in order to receive probation, but my chances of receiving such outcome. My case was one of his shorter cases in the subject matter, however he secured a dedicated plea agreement for probation. He was able to speak with the prosecution to the extent to prove I was not a threat in any regard while serving my sentence in the community. Trust me, facing the possibility of seven (7) years in the Illinois Department of Corrections scared the living hell out of me. Although he was able to secure probation for me, make sure you actually accomplish what he wants you to do—character references, awards from past accomplishments, as it truly maters when facing the worst days of your life. When facing criminal prosecution, Steve should be your first and last call when trying to secure a favorable outcome. Trust me, Steve was not my first call, but he for sure was my last call—and I am absolutely grateful that I found his law practice. With this, I appreciate everything that you have done for my family and I. You have truly and ultimately given me a second chance in this life and I will always recommend your services in the future. Thank You Steve.
