My nitemare

If bait n switch was a person it would be steve. As soon asi fired a good attorney to hire him he talked to me sideways. Put my case off 10 months telling me he spoke to da and she understood my situation and they would put my case off to come up with a creative way to resolve it. Then he twist...ed my arm to sign to 4 years. Never looked at discovery. He knew that the states witness had died of nateral causes yet still let the state hit me for 1500 in victims restitution. I called him 3 times in 20 minutes and he ripped my head off. I only could use the phone for halfhour as i had to lock down in my cell. He missed court twice had to be on monitor. I sign for the same thing my public defender offered me 10 months earlier that made me hire the first lawyer i fired too hire steve. He wasnt joking when he said he was friends with the judge he definitly wasnt my friend. I hope this reviews saves you from the torment of thinking about this guy your whole 2 years of prison

Knowledgeable and honest

I don't have enough words to describe the high level of professionalism, knowledge, honesty and compassion attorney Stephen P white has, He represented my mother in a horrible crime that she was victim in Tijuana with Narcos placing drugs in her car without her knowing, she cross the border and was d...etained. My entire family had never been involved in a legal problem, attorney White and his bilingual team did an excellent job with the investigation. He is well known in court. The judge dismissed my mother's case, she is a free woman because of him. My entire family will be forever grateful. He was the only one that will give you a reasonable price and will devote his time to your case. I recommend attorney White 100%.

Gets it done, no bullshit

He got me out of having to go in front of a grand jury. Saved my life. He also didn’t sweat me about coming to the table with a bunch of cash. He worked with me, which was huge. I know there are some notes on here that say he was reprimanded or whatever it is called, but he’s a criminal defense... lawyer. IMO, I want a guy that is willing to work the gray areas on my behalf. He’s the man.

Attorney Steve White

I hired Steve to represent my daughter in a domestic violence case in Chula Vista superior Court. Mr. White and his investigator discovered issues to the District Attorney which where not previously known and the case, a Felony was dismissed before jury trial. I highly recommend this attorney.
