Excellent experience!

Mr. Rodriguez is the best lawyer for a hit and run! Since the beginning, Mr. Rodriguez was very helpful and responded to our calls/texts right away. There were times we were very worried due to other letters from the police, other party's attorney and the DMV, but Mr. Rodriguez made us feel at ease. ...He dealt with the other party and convinced them to do a civil compromise. This helped tremendously in the criminal side of it because our case was at the court level too. But, he practically had our case dismissed!! We only had to pay a fine. I highly recommend Mr. Rodriguez :)

Top notch attorney!

I went to Stephen 6 years ago after getting into some trouble. He explained and outlined my options very well and I hired him on the spot. I was charged with a misdemeanor but he got it reduced to an infraction. In other words, I don't have a criminal record which is HUGE when it comes to employment ...and professional associations. I wasn't an easy client to deal with considering I was panicking and very scared. He kept me updated and was very patient with all of my questions and requests for more information. I highly recommend that you hire him if you find yourself in trouble.

Amazing attorney with what counts: RESULTS!

I received a call from a detective who was conducting a criminal investigation. The detective wanted to meet with me in his office. I was given little information except to say that I was a suspect in some type of criminal activity. I became very nervous and was aware that being interviewed by a dete...ctive was an intimidating experience to say the least. I also knew from talking to friends that the interview process can go south and that the tables can be turned against you. I contacted several criminal defense attorneys. Two of the attorneys frightened me and wanted a lot of money for their assistance. I then met with Mr. Rodriguez and Mr. Kahn. They explained how the criminal justice works and gave me some possible scenarios and options in this matter. They spoke to the detective on several occasions and did some investigation on my behalf. I never interviewed with the detective. Five months later the criminal investigation was dropped and no criminal charges were filed against me. Thank you for the peace of mind and for the good work.

I was facing 2 misdemeanors.

Mr. Rodriguez helped me with two bench warrants for two misdemeanors that were over 12 years old. We went to court and he recalled the warrants and terminated probation on both cases. There was no jail time. And all I had to do was pay a small fine. Good work & an excellent result!

"I met and worked with Steve Rodriguez years ago when we each represented individuals in a very serious co-defendant drug sales case (his client was facing over 12 years and Steve fought it down to a probation resolution- also saving his client from deportation!) I was very impressed with his work. Since then, whenever I have a client with an LA case I always recommend Steve Rodriguez. Steve is a great attorney and my clients that have needed his services have always been grateful for the recommendation."
