Stephen James Debye

Whether he represents you for free or paid I would NEVER use him for anything ever again. He lost my case and did not even try. Seems as though he wanted the case to be lost so that I would hire him. He kept telling me after the case was closed, " You could appeal and I could represent you, you would... just need to pay the retaining fee before I do anymore work". He seems to be doing things as long as it benefits him. You go to him for advice and he will send you to his paralegal or never answers your emails, calls or text messages. Save your money, case and time!

Hands-down, the worst attorney that I’ve ever dealt with. Steven was assigned to me during a CPS case, he was consistently trying to get me to appeal the case just to pay him instead of him fighting in the court at the time. There were so many mistakes made in my case that I’ve had to spend upwards o...f $10,000 to correct Mr. Debye’s errors. Additionally, I found mistakes that even a rookie attorney should’ve found and when I did ask for his assistance, he offered to help for $1200 not until I continue to go to the court did he attempt to help! I would not recommend Stephen free or retained. He is more of a headache than he'll help. He has a horrible attitude and does not respect his clients. We had to wait hours for Stephen to let the delivery guy in for his new TV, the entire court, waiting for him. After consulting other lawyers I learned he has reputation for this behavior.

The only thing he did was take my money. Years after the case I’m getting contacted by him because he screwed something up and now may have to go back into court to finish up what he screwed up in the first place including losing my case. This guy is a joke. Don’t waste your money. If you hire him th...at’s what’ll happen. Positive reviews I don’t believe and are probably fake.
