The Attorney who saved The Soldier

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.

Excellent Criminal 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 St...even 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.

Amazing Lawyer and Great Person

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 penaltie...s 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.

Integrity, Honesty, and Respect

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!!

I will always recommend Steven Haney.

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 prov...ide 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.
