John Steckel is hands down the best criminal defense attorney in the Quad Cities.
John Steckel helped me on so many levels and got me out of so much trouble. I shopped around and and I know wholeheartedly that I made the right decision in retaining Mr. Steckel to help me in my DUI cases. I have my license today because of John Steckel!

Excellent Lawyer - Highly Recommend!
John Steckel represented me three times and was a fantastic lawyer. He was very upfront and honest and great to work with. I recommend him to everyone who asks the question "anyone know a good lawyer?" 5 out of 5 stars for sure! If I still lived in the area, I would continue to use him.
