Stephen Robert Kahn

DO NOT HIRE! Stephan Kahn acts as if he cares in the beginning. He is a very nonchalant man and a horrible communicator. I hired Kahn a year ago for a criminal matter and paid him $5,000 to start the case. Kahn stated in the beginning that it was not about the money he works to get his client's home.... About a year into the case before I decided to fire Kahn as legal representative of my husband, he started to show lack of concern. Kahn allowed the district attorney to do most of the work when he should have done foot work to prove my husband innocence. Kahn had no strategy, nor did he even try to get any of my husband cases dismissed. When asked can he get a charge dismissed or at least file some type of motion instead of just showing up to court and waving time, Kahn responds to me and says he will not make himself look stupid and file a dismissal on any case and at the same time stated one of my husband cases was very weak. We also started to figure out that Kahn had no real acknowledgment of my husband case, he didn't even know how many charges overall my husband had and had his case almost a year. Kahn wasn't even aware that my husband didn't have any strikes but yet he agreed in court with the judge when she stated my husband was a striker. He began to make my husband feel hopeless. he has told my incarcerated husband on several occasions no matter what he decides to do with his case that he still gets to walk out the door everyday while my husband sits in jail. Kahn is a very unprofessional person and have lack of empathy for humans. Kahn has been a lawyer for decades and just maybe he has no love in his heart for it anymore. I pray to God he doesn't lie and prey on anyone else's family for money. We paid a total of $9,000 just for him to stand side of my husband at court. I DO NOT RECOMMEND HIM FOR ANYONE.

Mr. Kahn was our attorney. Be prepared in doing your own leg work. There were so many things that we had no clue about and would have done differently if we had been guided properly. Our appeals attorney even questioned Mr. Kahn's non action on items and didnt know why there was no defense on his par...t. When we would question what he would doing, he seemed to make it up as he went along. We wouldn't find out things until the last minute and then had to make a life changing decision within seconds. No visitation from the attorney to the jail, no preparation or guidance was given. His follow through is lacking except when it comes to his payment, of course. I would definitely not recommend him.

In 2013, I was arrested for a DUI and gave Steve a call to see if he would represent me in connection with the matter. I had never been arrested before and knew little about criminal law. Nevertheless, Steve proved to be an excellent lawyer, and I would strongly recommend Steve as a criminal attorney.... Steve knows the law and the prosecutors around LA extremely well. Perhaps more importantly though, Steve is great at setting realistic expectations and counseling someone through an extremely difficult time. I always felt that Steve gave my matter the utmost attention, and after several months of speaking with the prosecutor on my case, Steve turned my DUI arrest into a reckless driving plea.
