Concerned Parent

I was extended tremendous courtesy by Mr. Gustitis by his willingness to keep me involved in my son’s case. I was able to offer suggestions that were not ignored. This was e great courtesy, as my son was of adult age, and only out of kindness was I continued to be involved in effecting an outcome. My... son’s case was difficult, but he was led to a more favorable outcome than expected, due to Mr. Gustitis’ expertise with navigating through the court system.

Supporting parents is often equally important as supporting their accused child. Parents want to be heard and their opinions considered, as well. Nelda and I are very thankful we were able to successfully achieve both tasks. Thank you for your trust and for your patience. This is process is always difficult. We appreciate you both.

Explains process and options clearly

Steve did a good job of explaining everything I needed to know and was readily available to answer questions on the DUI process (my first and last). His "bedside manner" lessened my nervousness. The office is run efficiently by Nelda.

Excellent Service

We were looking for legal support in response to a speeding violation and Mr Gustitis provided great service. His office was extremely responsive to every request and the quality of his work was terrific.

Exactly What We Needed

If you are reading this, you are probably in a very scary situation for yourself or someone you love facing serious charges. Pause, take a breath, pray, and read on. I strongly recommend Steven Gustitis! We found Steven Gustitis through a google search. The reviews we saw made us think that... he was the right guy for our son. Our experience proved that the positive reviews were spot on! Our son was arrested for having a small amount of an illegal substance in his off-campus home. A friend called 911 for an ambulance because our son got sick. Long story short, the CS PD came instead of the ambulance. They rushed in uninvited, searched our son’s room without permission, and arrested him and his girlfriend. Rather than charging them with something like possession, they painted them as drug dealers and hit them with class one felony charges for manufacturing and delivery (up to life in prison)! As a side note, I am a former police officer. The officers that responded to the scene went way overboard to destroy our son’s life… we needed high-powered help. We met with Steve. He didn’t sugar-coat anything. (But his paralegal, Nelda was a huge comfort!) He said our son was facing some serious trouble, but that there might be some hope. Steve laid out a strategy of playing a long game for us to be able to demonstrate that our son was not the drug dealer the cops portrayed him as. This included voluntary drug testing every two weeks (with results sent to Nelda and us) to build a track record of clean behavior. Almost a year to the day later, we received a letter from the Brazos County prosecutor that our son’s arrest was rejected, and that all charges were dropped! We’ll be back to ask Steve to help with the expunction of our son’s record. I can’t guarantee that everyone will have these results. But I wholeheartedly recommend Steve! Here’s a summary of what to expect: * If you wonder whether hiring Steve is worth the cost, he absolutely is! * Take the time to tell him what you want the outcome to be. In our case, it was making sure our son’s future was not forever destroyed. * Get to know Nelda… she is absolutely wonderful. * If he recommends ongoing drug testing, do it. * If he thinks you will benefit from stretching the process out, do it. * Listen to and do what he says. He is a former prosecutor and knows what he’s talking about. But don’t be afraid to tell him what’s on your mind, and what you want. * Now, if you want someone to lie to you to make you feel better, sorry. He didn’t pull any punches. He wasn’t mean about it; but he was professional, courteous, and honest. Also, he let us call and talk it through anytime we wanted. He always made time for us.
