AWESOME SERVICE

Steve anderson is the best! he was so helpful and explained everything to me before i made any decisions. he always made sure i understood and gave me all of the options before giving me his advice and opinion. He explained the outcome of each one. I knew after the first consult that i trusted him a...nd his team to do the best for me. I recommend him to everyone! He was worth every dime! Also his assistant chad has been amazing in this whole process and just as helpful. They have both been so open and honest and always available whenever i had any questions i could call.

Criminal Defense

Steve Anderson was very helpful from the start. He had my best interest in mind. Steve and his staff handled everything for me and kept me up to date throughout the process. I'm grateful to have Steve on my side during this stressful time.

Awesome DUI Lawyer

Steve was an amazing lawyer. Made a huge mistake and got a DUI with a bac on .014. He was able to work to where i got an impaired driving ticket which saved my licence. Saving my licence was huge because driving it the majority. His whole staff was awesome, and if i ever get into a situation like thi...s again I would hire him in a second. If you find yourself with a DUI charge Steve would defiantly be the go to guy.

Great DUI Lawyer

I made a stupid mistake and ended up being pulled over for a DUI with a BAC of .17. Steve was able to get my charge reduced to an impaired driving, meaning I could keep my license and have way less severe penalties. I would recommend Steve if you need a DUI lawyer.

Excellent Choice

Steve was the best choice I could have made. I could tell he genuinely cared about me and my case. I called and left a message on a holiday and I received a phone call back within the hour. I was so impressed with Steve and his team from the beginning. They handled the request for a drivers license h...earing without even being hired yet. Steve helped me with my case, I know things would have turned out a lot worse without his help. I hope I will never need his assistance again, but I would hire him again. I would recommend Steve to anyone who needs legal assistance.

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.
