Review Steven Haney

Best Criminal Defense Attorney Who Cares About His Clients

I was very impressed with the services I received from Steven Haney. My case was a class 2 felony and lasted over a year and during that time he always returned every single call the same day to answer my many questions. He was honest with me and did not beat around the bush with his answers. He isn't about telling you what you want to hear, he is about telling you the truth and the facts. Mr. Haney made sure that I was informed of everything that was going on every step of the way during the duration of my case. During the trial of my case I was very impressed with the way he fought for me and did everything he could do to give me the best possible result. I am very thankful that he was recommended to me and I would highly recommend Steven Haney to represent anyone who is in need of a great attorney for a criminal case. He showed me that he truly cares about his clients through his integrity, honesty, diligence, understanding and compassion to help those in need.

I made some huge mistakes and found myself in a world of trouble with felony charges. Thankfully, Steve took my case and after many trips to court (because prosecutors could not decide what to do) Steve secured probation without any formal charges being entered ("a 410 probation") This is the absolute best outcome I could have gotten and I am forever endebted to Steve for securing it for me. He is well known and respected in this legal community and that counts ALOT when the decisions that decide your fate are out of your hands. He is a genuinely nice guy who genuinely cares about his clients, and he has the knowledge, experience, and respect to get the best of possible outcomes. I hope neither I nor my family will need a criminal defense attorney again, but if anyone does, I would only send them to Steve Haney. In my humble opinion, he is the best.

Steve is an attentive and very knowledgeable attorney. He kept us updated throughout the process and was always there to answer our questions. He is well prepared and we received a remarkable outcome due to his preparation and experience. We would highly recommend him!
