"Stephen is a tremendous attorney and is a valuable asset to anyone who chooses to hire him as their attorney. He is hardworking, intelligent, and is able to obtain great results for his clients despite the odds. I endorse Stephen."
"Stephen and I worked together at the Harris County District Attorney's Office. He was my supervisor for a time, and taught me a lot about domestic violence, DWI, intoxication manslaughter, and criminal law in general. Stephen analyzes cases from all directions, finds the weaknesses others overlook and gets results. When you choose to be represented by Stephen Aslett, you have chosen proven success."

Stephen's intelligence and instincts translate into effective results for his clients. I recommend Stephen Aslett to anyone seeking excellent criminal defense."
"I endorse this lawyer. Stephen and I battled it out in a tough trial when he was a prosecutor. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the law. He is a great trial lawyer and is someone I would trust if he represented me. I endorse Stephen as a great criminal defense attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. I met Stephen when he was a prosecutor. He possessed all of the traits that you would hope a prosecutor would have. He was honest, fair, reasonable and hard working to name a few. I am sad he left the DA's office because I enjoyed working with him. There is no doubt in my mind that he will make an outstanding defense attorney."
"Stephen is a smart and capable defense lawyer who is an asset to the defense bar. Moreover, he is an asset to any citizen accused smart enough to hire him."
"I have watched Stephen in court as a lawyer for many years and he is always well prepared and is an excellent speaker. He's excellent in trial and has a very good reputation in the criminal court house. He is totally honest and forthcoming which is very important in picking a lawyer. ."
"As an Assistant D.A., Stephen was always the type of attorney that was fair, while doing his job with confidence and skill. Stephen will be a fantastic defense attorney, both because of his ability and experience in the courtroom and knowledge of the law. I highly recommend Stephen to anyone who reads this and is looking to hire him as their attorney."
"Stephen was one of the most knowledgeable and prepared prosecutors at the Harris County District Attorney's Office. He has great relationships with all the prosecutors. They trust him and trust his judgment. Stephen and I helped me in representing a husband accused of assaulting his pregnant wife. With Stephen as co-counsel, we got a NOT GUILTY verdict in less than 1 hour. I definitely endorse Stephen as a criminal defense attorney."
"I knew Stephen as a colleague as a prosecutor, then as an adversary as a defense lawyer, and now as a colleague as a defense lawyer. His experience and tact is a great asset and makes him incredibly effective in the courtroom. Anyone who hires him is in great hands."
