Crime fighting friend

During the summer I found myself entangled with the law and was arrested for a felony account. Scared and confused with the legal system after my arrest I made several calls to several criminal lawyers. Mr Rodriguez was the first to return my call within an hour where others took a day or two to just... get back to me. He quickly arranged a meeting where his services where hired on the spot. A plan was discussed and agreed for my representation to tackle my charged crime. Stephen Rodriguez and his team gained my trust trough their level of knowledge immediately as I felt taken care off and well represented after this meeting. My exceptional experience with this law group and its office personal did not stop there. Stephen always was always available to address any concerns or answer questions along the way. The final result of my to my legal entanglement came to be when the results came from the court... I found myself with no criminal record and my legal problems solved thanks to the experience and hard work of Stephen Rodriguez Law firm.

Highly recommend.

Stephen Rodriguez is an exceptional lawyer. His specializes in criminal defense at the highest level. His attitude towards work and his clients is on another level. When I was looking for attorneys, Stephen was the only one who picked up the phone at 11 p.m. Saturday night. For this, I greatl...y appreciate his dedication to work with clients after office hours. He guided me throughout the whole process, responded to all my calls and emails right away. Although I knew that I had a weak, losing case, Steve was always cheering me up and believing that everything will be alright. He was able to drop down felony charges to a trespassing charge. Throughout this whole experience, I am forever thankful to him as he was able secure my freedom. I highly recommend Mr. Rodriguez as a criminal defense lawyer!

Outstanding Attorney

From one day to another my life changed and I found myself facing a serious felony charge. A close friend of mine was able to help me hire Stephen and Ken. Immediately, Stephen and Ken went to work for me and got me out of jail. After having worked with these two attorneys, I have to say, they are s...ome of the best out there. They are both well respected and trustworthy individuals. Stephen and Ken will work hard to get the best results possible. They have no problem answering or returning your call regardless of being a weekday or weekend. I honestly feel I couldn't have got these results without them. They were successful in keeping me out of jail and helped me avoid having to register as a sex offender for life. I hope you are not in a situation like I was, but if you do find yourself facing criminal charges, I very much recommend these two attorneys.

"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."
