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.

IF STEVE CAN'T DO IT THEN NOBODY CAN!!

I retained Steve Karimi over false allegations that were very serious in nature. I was extremely nervous and distraught with the allegations I had been charged with. Immediately upon meeting with Steve at a late hour I was confident he would use every effort to achieve the best possible outcome, from... what I had viewed as a nightmare come true. Not only did he take the time to calmly reassure me but also explained in depth the theory and strategy behind what was about to transpire, leaving informed and finally able to relax. The piece of mind that you will receive with Steve is absolutely priceless, not to mention his fee's are very reasonable. The charges brought against me were quickly dismissed due to Steve's decisive actions and willingness to strive for a win fairly and competently. At my place of employment I work with many different attorneys on a daily basis and I can safely say that he is far superior to any lawyer I have met in all aspects of the legal profession, not only is his work ethic second to none but he kept me informed every step of the way, he would call, text and email the instant he had new information, even on the weekends and even the Fourth of July! I'm not one to write internet reviews (in fact this is my first one ever) but I feel that an individual as compassionate, caring and dedicated as Steve deserves recognition beyond this review. Over the years I have recommended Steve's legal services to friends and associates who find themselves in unfortunate situations and we are all in agreement that IF STEVE CAN'T DO IT THEN NO ONE CAN!!

The most passionate and kindest lawyer.

I made the biggest mistake in my life when I decided to use someone's credit card to purchase something. I was arrested and charged with misdemeanor theft. It was the darkest time of my life and I felt so hopeless. But immediately after talking to Steve for the first time through the phone, I knew... he is the lawyer for me. I remember him saying "you are not a bad person, you just made a bad choice. And I believe when you said it won't happen again," the first time we met. He is very passionate, he listened to me and made sure that everything will work out (specially since I am just an international student.) Also, he has the lowest lawyers fee ever. My case was a lot of work but he was very patient. And he helped me start anew. I will never forget him and his kindness. I will be forever thankful.

compassionate - goes above and beyond!

I called Steve Karimi at some ungodly hour of the night at one of the lowest points in my life. He answered immediately, was kind, responsive, caring, nonjudgmental, and ultimately ended up helping me out for free (charges were never filed, thanks in large part, I think, to his intervention). If char...ges had been filed and the case brought to court, the rate he quoted me was by far the lowest of any lawyer I'd spoken to. Steve followed up via email periodically over the course of an entire year. I'll never forget his kindness, and I can't recommend him enough.

Steve Karimi made my first experience with a Lawyer a positive one.

Recently, a friend and I had marijuana possession charge on a camping camping trip. I rarely touch the stuff and thought a remote, empty campground would be a reasonable place to take the risk, but was wrong. Because of my job, I was terrified of what might happen (I really don't know much about th...ese things.) My friend contacted several Lawyers and settled on Steve Karimi, because he had experience with the prosecutor and was willing to charge a very reasonable fee. When I first talked with Steve, I felt much better about my situation. He told me that I had a good chance of d a deferral or even dismissal based on my spotless record. He also told me that I probably wouldn't even need to appear in court, which was a relief as I live across the state from where I got in trouble. Mostly I just felt a huge sense of relief simply knowing that it was now out of my hands and a professional was handling it. Over the next couple months, Steve pushed my court date back a couple times and contacted me periodically to let me know what was going on. Eventually, after the Marijuana initiative passed, the prosecutor dropped my case. Even after my case had been dismissed, Steve was very helpful in answering some more of my questions about what, exactly, would show up on my record or be available to the public. Although it didn't end up being a very difficult case, I likely wouldn't have had the same results without Steve pushing our court dates back. I also feel confident that we would have at least gotten a deferral had the initiative not passed because that offer was already on the table from the prosecutor.
