best trial lawyer

almost every lawyer i know always wants you to take a deal because they are scared of going to trial Louth will not because he knows what he is doing and gets results from all the experience he has adquired over the years last 12 jury trials won works for me look no further when in need of a criminal... defense lawyer.

Treated my difficult DUI case with nuance and found the best outcome.

I am compelled to write a review for Mr. Louth, consummate attorney, because of the extremely thorough and professional services I received from his office and from Mr. Louth directly. I liked him right away because he is confident, cerebral and very detailed. He met with me in person, numerous times..., and was able to listen to my needs and concerns. Above all, perhaps his best quality was his courage to take the issues straight on, even in a case where I was up against the wall. Other attorney's I met for my case, on the first impression, advised me to lay down, and just swallow a hard pill. Mr. Louth WORKED to find the solutions and was not afraid to call out the authorities on their inconsistencies. When I thought the case was over, Mr. Louth submitted a motion to correct the record, and improve the outcome of my inevitable penalties which were lessened thanks to the extra labor he put in on my behalf. I am very much a satisfied client and urge others to at least meet with Mr. Louth when in search of competent legal services.

Very misleading

Failed to communicate on all levels. I had no idea how bad it would get but "that's the system", and he works for "it", not for you. I was denied proper representation and forced to admit to crimes I did not commit as he carelessly advised it was for the best and nothing would come of it. Now having ...met other people who's life has been negatively affected by such careless handling I feel it's appropriate to say something. Unfortunately there are lawyers who will make someone out to be a criminal because its easy and profitable, so if you go with this one be prepared to lose your rights, your family, your reputation and your own ability to care because you will be left with absolutely nothing but lifelong debt, a deep sense of being violated, mislead, and forgotten. If you are innocent stay with a public defender as they will actually work out a deal that doesn't cost you everything. Be very careful as the system and everyone who works for it does not care about you they care about their paycheque.

Brillant

Excellent trial lawyer. Facing three V.D.A. charges and violations, one dismissed one not guilty by jury one to go.. he included me, spoke my voice, he dominated and controlled the court room. He represented me.

He got my case dismissed!

Steven is an awesome lawyer hands down. I was charged with a domestic violence/ 3rd degree assault. He immediately helped me over the phone by telling me what to do with the restraining order. After he listened to all the body cams and everything from the night of the arrest he told me not to worry t...hat it would be dismissed. I went with Steven because I felt like I was in good hands. I am a young woman who spent 4 nights in jail and I was so scared to go back that I developed insomnia and paranoia from it. Once I hired Steven I felt so much better. He went above and beyond for me over the six month awaiting trial. My mother was going to pass away any minute and he got the state to allow me to travel to go see her that same day. He also got the state to allow medical marijuana usage while on pre-trial supervision and 2 drug tests a week. That's only a couple things he did. He was sure they would drop my case before we went to trial and that's exactly what happened. I recommend Steven to anyone that need criminal representation.

Experience

Rating:  1.2 (Extreme Caution)

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2025.

Suspension Stayed Placed on Probation issued in CO, 2025

updated on 04/15/2025

Suspension stayed means the attorney has been disciplined, but that the suspension is placed on hold (and ultimately removed) if the attorney complies with probation requirements.

Censure issued in CO, 2022

updated on 07/13/2023

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
