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!

For Kenneth & Stephen

Let me begin with, I don’t write reviews very often. i never thought I’d be writing a positive review for an attorney! let alone 2! I had found Stephen G & Kenneth K at a critical time in my life. I had just been diagnosed with a rare Non Hodgkin Lymphoma & simultaniously falsely accused of a cri...me in retaliation from my ex landlord losing an eviction and having to pay me. The judge told me I could sue him and preserved those rights for me which is rare. There is a statue of limitations on everything. So if he got me arrested that may buy him a lot of time & get revenge all at the same time. So after defying that court order and drilling my locks to lock me out a month early and robbing my house he decided to make a police report that I stole his stuff 3 MONTHS AFTER i moved out! My police report was ignored but I had a knock at my door and 1/2 a dozen cops stormed in to arrest me! They said they had a FELONY warrant! I told them they had it wrong I was the one who was locked out and robbed. I got thrown in a disgusting jail cell with a bunch of really sick people. You can NOT get cancer treatment if you get sick. I got very sick so I had to get representation but not any representation I needed GREAT representation because my life depended on it. I explained what was going on to both Ken and Stephen. At first I didn’t trust them, I didn’t think they could comprehend how complicated this case was AND also very importantly get me a positive outcome sooner then later. After a couple months (the pandemic hit big time and the courts were basically closed) I got a call asking me to come in. They assured me it was good news not bad but I had options. When I came in they asked me what I wanted. I said case dismissed of course and hopefully have the landlord indicted for everything. Well …..they said they had the dismissal on the table if I wanted it. We can work on the latter after & get everything expunged so I can pursue my life without any “weight” from this horrible ordeal. Without any reservation, I would recommend Kenneth & Stephen if you find yourself in trouble! I’ll add they really truly cared. I would get a call on random Sunday nights just to see how I am! Who does that?! Ya, that’s why I’m writing this because I’m free & clear now only because they cared that much!

"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."
