Excellent Lawyer!

Steve did an excellent job on my case. I would recommend Steve to anyone whom has an outstanding DUI case anywhere in the Seattle Metro area. He is familiar with many of these courts and personally will handle your case in all of them. He is fair with his price and will charge you a flat fee so you d...o not need to worry about an hourly rate. You get what you pay for with Steve. He earns his money. Excellent attorney.

Steve Karimi is Number One

Mr. Karimi has saved my life--on paper-- twice. Most recently he was able to get my DUI charge dismissed in return for a guilty plea on hit and run unattended. This was an amazing deal. A DUI is inexcusable and hard to explain to an employer, a hit-and-run unattended is a softer charge with far less... extreme consequences. Not to mention, I could have the charge expunged from my record in a couple of years-- the same isn't true for a DUI charge (I'll hire Mr. Karimi when the time comes to clear my record). Steve was kind but remained stoic throughout the court procedures, which didn't give me a false sense of hope but did impart a sense of understanding and security. Mr. Karimi was diligent about my charges, and I can't tell you how relived I was to hear that my DUI case would be dismissed. He helped me with a marijuana possession case when I was 18 and he prevented that charge from ruining my record. I would absolutely refer anyone to Steve Karimi for legal protection as he is well-known in the community and has a track record for success. Steve is my go-to guy. Hopefully I never need to hire a lawyer to defend me again, but if I do, Mr. Karimi is my first choice. His prices are reasonable, and I have no doubt he caters to all of his clients well. if you have the means, skip a public defender and hire Steve Karimi--he's reliable, careful and downright awesome.

Knowledgeable, Compassionate, and Kind, What a Great Attorney!

I retained attorney Steve Karimi to represent my DUI case in May, 2011. Because of prior DUI charges, I felt helpless and was overwhelmed with depression. Mr. Karimi scheduled a meeting for us to meet and review materials relevant to my case. When first encountering Steve, I was immediately put t...o ease by his calm and sensitive manner. It was during this meeting that he provided the names of treatment facilities. He is a great listener, and was able to determine that I had been suffering from an emotional condition, which when combined with my tendency to binge drink, past treatment programs fell short of providinig the type of service that could really assist me. What a major difference this has made in my life! NO ONE, not even mental health counselors, have been able to discern what attorney Karimi did, in a 45 minute span of time. This is simply amazing. Steve brings to the table not only his extensive legal training and experience, but a rare quality of being able to really connect with his clients needs on an intuitive level. He was able to create a very effective strategy for my situation and provided guidance for me, every step of the way. He posses a portfolio of resources for his clients to keep their lives in chek, while undergoing the court process. This was extremely valuable to myself, a professional person who wished to continue to work - and stay mobile. Attorney Steve Karimi is simply a profoundedly gifted and talented individual, unlike ANY other attorney I have ever experienced. I received a fair otucome from the courts, it was a very difficult case. His background, and committemnt to REALLY helping his clients is remarkable. With his assistance, he has changed my life by puttting me in contact with those that could really help my life get on track. You would be well served to retain him; he has my highest recommendation.

Knowledgeable, Helpful, Professional

Helped me handle an out of state DUI case that ended up getting dismissed. I would have been screwed if it weren't for his help. Steve is extremely knowledgeable, knows how the system works, and does his best to fight for his clients.

Highly Recommendable!

In an urgent situation, Mr. Karimi was immediately available to assist and explain the relevant issues related to a DUI. He followed through on alleviating the demands of the court in a timely manner and was professional throughout. Mr. Karimi provided his services for a second court situation that... could have had severe long-term implications. His knowledgeable representation kept the facts in front of the court to a positive conclusion. I consider him fair and trustworthy and would highly recommend his services. Mr. Karimi is by far one of the best attorneys that I have had the experience to work with!
