Patient, ethical, and highly effective lawyer

"I hired Steven for a traffic infraction case. Unfortunately, the trial was delayed twice because my subpoenaed witness failed to appear. Both Steven and I remained patient; we were committed to a fair trial to contest a wrongfully cited ticket. Even though he was on a flat fee structure—meaning mult...iple appearances weren't in his financial interest—he stayed dedicated to the case. When the witness failed to show a third time, the judge moved forward, and we had to pivot our defense strategy. I followed Steven's advice, and we won! I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a skilled defense attorney.

DUI case, could have been a nightmare

After calling Barr while looking for a short consultation and being declined due to a lack of availability, Steven called me out of the blue to chat, for no cost. Although I’d been told that a DUI was pointless to hire representation for, After a short discussion, i recognized the need to have ste...ven on my side. He helped me immensely with every restriction or payment, for a price that came nowhere near the amount he saved me.

Reckless Driving Defense

I had an aggressive driver following me, acting like they would side swipe me, getting in front of me and braking hard, etc. when I tried to speed away to avoid an accident, I was charged with reckless driving for speeding and illegal lane changes. The aggressive driver went so far as to pull in behi...nd the officer and lie that I had caused an accident and that they had been tailing me to get a license #. This angered the sheriff's deputy further, who then wrote up the situation to look as though I had possibly caused an accident, hit and run, and then further inferred that I had taken a long time "to catch up to" as if I was avoiding being pulled over or trying to get away from the police. Steve gave me the benefit of his substantial experience on both sides, prosecutorial and defense, and let me know the worst case/highly unlikely outcome, the likeliest worst outcome, the likeliest best outcome, and how to work toward the best possible outcome. I felt less unease immediately and more empowered. I had to do work to assist Steve and he was open to my ideas, such as providing GPS to show there was no merit to the aggressive driver's hit and run story, etc. I completed the tasks that Steve asked of me and the result was a deal with the prosecutor for a lesser charge and a fine. I felt confident that had I proceeded to jury trial that my odds would have been favorable with Mr. Minert as my attorney, but I didn't want to incur further expense or take further time to resolve a stressful situation. Steve definitely is an honest and skilled attorney. He is ethical, honest, affordable, well connected, and knows how to leverage the truth in your favor. Minert Law doesn't pawn your case off on a less experienced lawyer in a huge firm or take your well being lightly. Steven answered my questions promptly and even communicated with me on weekends more than once. I would absolutely recommend Minert law.

Great Work from Steve Minert

I heartily recommend Steve Minert if you need a criminal defense attorney. I needed a lawyer with experience in dealing with my type of case at a reasonable price. I am glad I chose Steve Minert. At the free consultation, Steve showed himself to be not only knowledgeable, but an expert at ...explaining the laws and court process without being condescending. Once I began working with Steve, my stress levels dropped significantly. Thanks to his expertise and positive working relationship with the Boise prosecutor, I had a good outcome to my case.

Highly Skilled, Understanding, Ethical...Steve Minert A Great Person along with being a Great Attorney

I recieved a citation for petty theft and Steve reached out to me in the mail. It was clear that he was looking to do some good above merely making a dime: His fees were half what another law office wanted to charge and he was leaps and bounds more experienced than the younger attorney I had consulte...d with before hearing from Steve. The other law offices i spoke with treated my case like a by the numbers situation. Steve talked it through with me in detail and provided me with multiple avenues that I could take and he would trust me to decide. But he'd laid out many pro's and cons for the options i had, ensuring that my decisions were informed. I was reluctant to hire and pay a private attorney, and Steve Minert quelled those concerns for me. He was flexible with payment and affordable. What more can I say? The experience, legal process and eventual outcomes exceeded my expectations. Best of all was not feeling unsure or fearful throughout. Steve from the start had me confident in the plan we put together, and it paid off.
