Review Steven Liner

Excellent Lawyer!

Posted by

Mr. Liner is a very professional, caring, approachable attorney. In my case it seemed to be a very complicated up hill battle but, Mr. Liner was able to break it down and show the District Attorney that I was not guilty of the charges brought against me. All charges were dropped and I am now able to get on with my life. My advice is to be honest with Mr. Liner from the start and he will definitely get you the best possible outcome in your case.

Steve has been my savior. He has helped me tremendously through thick and thin. I feel so lucky and thankful that he was my lawyer in all my cases when I made the wrong choices. He is always there when ever I have questions and he follows through with everything he says he will. I am ever so grateful to have Steve in my life.

Steven Liner Client Review by Cynthia L. Bottero

Posted by

Steven Liner cares about the law and his clients. His mastery of our legal system assures the best possible defense, no matter your issue. Steven is professional, efficient, qualified, and smart. He will answer your legal questions in an informed easy to understand manner. I hired Steven several years ago in Monterey County and would retain his legal services again. I highly recommend him - he's the lawyer you want on your side.

The worst legal representation I’ve ever had

Posted by

The first thing that bothered was that I spent a few hundred just communicating about the case because I had questions and wanted to be included in my case. There were also a lot of things that weren’t correct in the police report that I pointed out that he never tried to get corrected. I don’t even think he sat down in person and met with all the parties and supervisors involved in the case. I think he just sent emails. I spent about $6 grand and got absolutely nothing to show for it. I had to pay another attorney to clean up the mess but he didn’t have enough time to work because Liner used all the continuances and continued to get paid for them. I’m not sure what his specialty is but liner is NOT a negotiator and I don’t believe he cares to do the best job possible. There are some lawyers that care to help people and some that want to be paid and I don’t believe Liner is really interested in helping people.

Steven Liner's response: Thank you for your feedback. The delays were actually caused by the prosecution and you replaced me before they were ready to negotiate. You are mistaken if you believe that I do not care and I would welcome the opportunity to discuss directly with you.

Janet Hong, Criminal defense Attorney on Mar 14, 2018
Relationship: Worked together on matter

Mr. Liner is a superb attorney. There are not many that have such a precision grasp on the law nor the ability to sift through complex legal issues that arise especially during trial. At his core he is a deeply passionate advocate that goes over and beyond for his clients.

Juliet Peck, Criminal defense Attorney on Feb 11, 2017
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I endorse this lawyer. I worked with Steve in the same office for several years. We collaborated on many cases and I have watched him in court when arguing before juries and judges on multiple occasions. Steve is an exceptional attorney: ethical, aggressive, always fully prepared, highly effective at persuading opposing counsel and judges of the rightness of his view and excellent at defusing situations that could baffle the less skilled. He is held in high esteem by colleagues and judges and is a model of professionalism.

Jai Gohel, Criminal defense Attorney on Feb 1, 2017
Relationship: Worked together on matter

Steve is one of the finest lawyers I know. He has fought in the trenches of the criminal justice system as a Public Defender and Appointed lawyer in Los Angeles and Monterey County. He has handled the most serious of criminal matters and has achieved outstanding results. In a matter we handled together, his client was acquitted. Despite his gritty background, he is an extremely polished and sophisticated litigator that I would have full confidence in on any matter, civil or criminal.

Dylan Taylor, DUI and DWI Attorney on Jan 31, 2017
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Steve Liner is an articulate, creative, and aggressive advocate for his clients. He knows how to both litigate successfully in the courtroom but also effectively negotiate outside the courtroom. Steve Liner garners nothing but respect from judges, opposing counsel, and his clients through his hard work ethic and his compassion. He is one of the most respected members of our legal community. I endorse Mr. Liner without any reservation.

Jamey Dolowich, Violent crime Attorney on Jan 31, 2017

Steve Liner is the lawyer's lawyer. Every attorney knows they can go to Steve for solid advice. He cares about his clients and gets amazing results. He is a great attorney. I don't hesitate in endorsing him.
