Didn’t let me settle for prison 13charges Dropped

Liner was my state Appointed attorney out of Monterey County California. I was originally Represented by just a normal public defender but When a conflict of interest Had occurred that’s when Steve Lana was appointed to me by the State of California. I was ready to sign a five year bid in a state pen...itentiary Just so I can hurry up and start my time mind you This would have not been the first time going to the state penitentiary.Liner look at me and said If you can just hold it off for two more weeks in the county jail I could have always dismissed he gave me a 97% chance I look at and said yeah right I can’t do that I’m ready to go up state . That’s when he reply sorry son but as your legal counsel I cannot let you play guilty to something or take this time when legally he knowsI wasn’t guilty and I can beat it. So he walks over to The judge and the district attorney and then back to me and says here you’re going home today but you have to come back to Come back here in two weeks if the district attorney cannot back up is evidence every single one of them 13 charges will be dropped.Unheardof pictures of me red-handed so it seem to be. Two weeks later back in the courtroom 45 minutes takes to say people State of California versus me Count one dismiss count two dismissed …,.And so forth I must’ve shook his hand I Offered to buy him lunch He laughed and said don’t worry about a guy go home and Take care of your family. So if you’re looking for a good lawyer liner is your guy You just have to be straight up with him .He can’t go to bat For you if he doesn’t know what kind of pitches that are going to be thrown !!!!!!

Top Notch Attorney

Steve is a top-notch criminal defense attorney. He has defended me in several cases. Unfortunately I have made some bad choices and had to deal with the consequences but Steve gave me the best defense a person could ask for. He took the time to really understand the details of my cases and then put t...ogether the best strategy to minimize those consequences. His experience and years of practicing law work in the best interest of his clients. He is worth every penny that he earned in my cases. I really don’t think I could’ve asked for anything more.

Excellent Lawyer!

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.

"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."

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."
