About Steven
Biography
I am an attorney working for the Amarillo branch office of Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas. My practice consists primarily of representing victims of domestic violence and assisting other victims of crime. I do not currently practice any criminal defense or personal injury, although I have previous experience in both areas. I also have previous experience as a prosecuting attorney. Our office covers the top 20 counties of the Texas panhandle, an area larger than many states, and I enjoy meeting and cultivating relationships with the judges, attorneys, and crisis center workers in our rural areas.

Ghosted
I was contacted my Mr McBride through legal aid for a divorce. After 2 hours of texting with him about the details he ghosts me. No explanation or reason. This is unprofessional, rude behavior and honesty just cruel.

Replied last July 31, 2025As of this writing, I have two one star reviews, which are both from applicants who applied for legal assistance, were provided with free legal advice, but were not accepted as clients. I think folks can see for themselves why they were not accepted. After they didn't get what they wanted, they lashed out with negative reviews online. Sadly, some folks have a toxic entitlement mentality. Interviewing an applicant and providing free legal advice does not obligate me to accept the person's case.

Replied last November 05, 2020Jeremy applied for assistance from my non-profit law firm, Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas. Due to funding restrictions, we were not able to accept Jeremy's case for full representation. He was given a free consultation and free legal advice relevant to his legal problem and was sent a letter closing his application and confirming that we did not represent him in this matter. Due to attorney-client confidentiality, I cannot reveal what his legal problem was or what advice was given to him. However, all of this is fully documented in Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas's electronic case management system. Unfortunately, Jeremy chose to go online and make false representations concerning what actually happened.
