CASE DISMISSED!!

I am so grateful for the law offices of Stephen G. Rodriguez and partners. They responded immediately, and were completely capable to answer all my questions, even the dumb one lol. And calm any doubts or worries I had. I truly felt heard, and seen. And winning my case didn't hurt either lol.

Best in the business

I found Steve on google way back in south korea where i was being detained. My first impression proved to be right because he was every bit as professional, capable, passionate, trustworthy all throughout our journey where in the end at the court in los angeles he was able to get my felony case dismi...ssed. I have to add that not only is he the best lawyer i've met he is first and foremost a real human being. His honesty and integrity extended to our personal interaction too where he even tried for getting me a job since i had just arrived on LA with nothing to my name. Call him now and if youre reminded of anything the reviews here claim including mine, know that he is for real and will be the best help you can find. Thank you again Steve!

Highly Recommended!!!!!

I just received one of the best phone calls of my life. With some stipulations I happily agreed to, my case was dismissed! Stephen Rodriguez and Kenneth are a team that knows the ins and outs of the legal system. Something I know nothing about! I was facing a charge that, if convicted, would have cha...nged my life forever. The stress was overwhelming. I emailed Stephen Saturday after a week of no sleep and to my surprise, he called me right back! I met with Stephen and Kenneth shortly after and they took charge from there. I want to thank Stephen Rodriguez and Kenneth for their honesty, availability and reassurance. If you should find yourself, like me, in the need of a strong team to represent you, Stephen Rodriguez and Kenneth are the ones to have in your corner. A+

I would highly recommend him

Last July our son was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport as he arrived on a flight from Hawaii. He was immediately arrested and taken to jail. Apparently he had an out of state warrant. We reached out to family members and were recommended to attorneys Mr. Rodriguez and Mr. Kahn. We inter...viewed the attorneys. They explained the whole process to us and answered all our questions. We felt very comfortable with them and confident that our son was in good hands. We hired them and they immediately went to visit our son, which meant a lot to us. They represented him in court and within one week of my son's first court appearance they were able to get my son released from jail. He was then ordered to return to Austin where he would deal with his criminal case. Mr. Rodriguez and Mr. Kahn put our minds at ease and helped us through a very difficult situation. I would highly recommend them.

Aggressive, knowledgeable, and fearless criminal defense

I've consulted and referred criminal cases to Stephen and he is an excellent criminal defense attorney. He vigorously fights for his clients and also fully explains and counsels his clients to put them at ease throughout the process. I highly recommend Mr. Rodriguez to work hard and handle any crimin...al defense matter with extreme knowledge, creativity, and skill.

"I've known Stephen for almost a decade now. We met when I was a Los Angeles Public Defender; he and I would discuss our cases together in court, and let me tell you, this man shows up and shows out for his clients. I have personally seen him push the envelope in court (when most lawyers would not) and get great results. Stephen also is fluent in Spanish and does tremendous work for the Latino community. I am proud to call him a friend and colleague. Hire with confidence."

"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."
