armed habitual criminal

I was charged as a armed habitual criminal which is a class x felony that carries 6 -30 years in prison. But thanks to Steven Fine being a great and experienced attorney I was able win my case and remain free.Steve is an aggressive lawyer that takes his job serious and your freedom is his priority.I ...hired him twice for criminal matters and both times we won

Couldn't have asked for better.

I chose Steven Fine as my lawyer because from the beginning of my case, I could tell he really cared. He wasn't in it for the money, he was in it so that I could get my life back, and continue on to live the life that I had planned and dreamed for. He delivered everything that he said he would, and m...ore. I would choose him over and over again in a second.

Call Steve!

I talked to lots of attorneys before I decided to hire Steve. It was the best decision. He fought hard for me. I was found not guilty.

Call Steve

Steve did a great job for me. I was found not guilty of having a gun in my car. He spent time explaining the discovery and what we needed to defend the case. STeve is the real deal attorney

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.
