Review Steve Gebhardt

Great at what he does.

Posted by

Steve Gebhardt represented me twice against the ARLINGTON Police Department who had violated my constitutional rights on multiple occasions during one incident. One trial ended in a mistrial while the other ended with an acquittal. Because of Mr. Gebhardt clearing my name, I am now a newly elected City Councilman. Thank you sir for all you do.

I'd never thought I would ever need a lawyer but I'm glad that it turned out to be Mr. Gebhardt. He solved my issues quick and effectively. He also stayed in contact with me until my case was resolved via email & cell. Excellent lawyer. Highly recommended!

Weapons Charge

Posted by

I hired Steve to defend me against a weapons charge in Tarrant county. I have never had to hire a criminal lawyer before and had no idea what to expect. Steve was upfront about the expected outcome as well as the cost. Steve exceeded my expectations in every way. He was always accessible to answer my questions and the outcome of the case ended up being better than we initially expected. I would highly recommend him!

Steve and his team did a great job. They represented me on a DWI case and I felt safe and taken care of through the whole process. He calmed my fears, was always available when I had questions, and I was very happy with my outcome. I would recommend him to any of my friends and family. Thank you Steve !

Dismissed

Posted by

I contacted Steve just a few days short of my first court date. Just 30 minutes after me contacting him, I was already in his office and speaking with him. He said he did have other clients coming in but still made the time to personally speak with me in person. He set down with me and got as much information about the case. After going over the case and answering all my questions I decided to hire Steve to represent me. He would update on the case anytime anything came up. I never had to attend any of the court dates since he was representing me. My biggest and of course everyone's goal is to get their case dismissed out right. In the end he was successful in doing so. Hopefully I will never need his services in the future, but I will save his contact information and without a doubt recommend Steve.
