The worst attorney ever

A Attorney that cares!

I have Mr. Foster as my Attorney. My Lawsuit isn't over yet, but he has been right on top of the matter from Day one! He is a very hard working and busy Man. He might not always talk to me personally, but does make the time to when I request him too! His office staff is very kind, and keeps me up to ...date! I'm sad to see some don't feel the same as I do. He is worth taking on as anyone's Attorney!!! I feel my case is in the best hands it could be. I have high faith in him and his wonderful staff!

Thank God for Mr. Foster

Thank God for Mr. Foster! I had a very bad and unfounded criminal case and Mr. Foster saved my freedom. From the moment he took my case, he worked hard to get it resolved. He is smart and seems to really know the law. I could call him day or night and even on the weekends and he would return my c...all by the next day. He even answered a text I sent him at 10:30pm on a weekend. He is just the best and I would not be a free man without him.

Handled my case

Mr. Foster took care of my case quickly and competently. He handled my case and actually returned most of the money that I had given him as a retaner. I thought that that money was gone forever and was ok with that but he handled the case quickly and gave me the money that was not spent back.

Criminal defense lawyer | Aug 31

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Stephen since he was a prosecutor. Stephen was known at the Bexar County District Attorneys office as a prosecutor who was always prepared to try a case to a jury. He had more jury trials the last year he worked as an Assistant District Attorney than any other prosecutor in the office. As a defense attorney, Stephen has not slowed down in his pursuit of arguing cases in front of juries. The success he has had in the courtroom has so benefited his clients that he has been named as a "Rising Star" in Texas Monthly Magazine on recommendation of local attorneys and judges."

"I know Stephen from criminal court, originally, and was sad to see him grow his firm to the point that we rarely see him there anymore. However, he's been great as someone we can work with on civil cases. Civil law smarts and a criminal trial lawyer's courtroom skills have made Stephen into a rare asset of a lawyer. He's a great guy, personally, as well. I endorse this lawyer."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
