The BEST Attorney in Dallas

My family and I were placed in a situation we’ve never been in before. We needed someone to guide us, someone to speak for us and more importantly someone we could TRUST and didn’t know where to start. Thankfully a friend recommended Steve’s services. He kept us informed, his staff is so friendly, h...e’s very professional and knowledgeable. He was dedicated and engaged in our case and it’s hard to find someone who will make you feel like you’re “important”. Thanks to Steve we were able to come to a resolution that benefited our family. Best attorney hands down!

Best in the Business.

If you need a lawyer look no further cause this is the best that is gets. I've went through steve for many of my legal situations, and he never ever let me down and actually over exceeded my expectations every time. Yolanda is very knowledgeable with the process of making everything understood in a c...rystal clear manner. So with that being said dont hesitate to hire steve and his excellent legal services.

Great lawyer, very honest, truthful, and humble man

I would definitely recommend Mr. Hayden, he is such a great lawyer and very humble man. Trust me he wont let innocent people pay for crime they have not committed. From day one I was seeking a lawyer for this case, one of friend accused me of assaulting her which was not true, she was just trying to ...mess up my reputation, and everything I've worked hard for. God was on my side with help of Mr. Hayden he proved my innocence. I will forever remain grateful and thankful for finding such an attorney who is willing to bring the truth to light. Thank you Mr. Hayden and may God continue to bless you and use you to reveal the truth

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2020.

Public Reprimand issued in TX, 2020

updated on 05/26/2021

Public reprimand means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State gives the lawyer a public reprimand in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior. Details of the infraction are made part of the public record.

Steven’s comment:

“Thank you Avvo for bringing this to light. My client secretly recorded a private confidential conversation in my office to try and extort his fee back - and the Texas Bar awarded him NOTHING - the judgment is on their website. Yes, I am embarrassed/upset but I did MY JOB. After 16+yrs in prison for Attempted Murder, the client committed felony Fraud and demanded that I get him NO new jail time AT ALL... and I DELIVERED! Probation and NO jail time - from the toughest County in North Texas!”
