Passionate attorney

Stephen is an awesome attorney. He is tougher than nails in the court room, but was always patient with me in answering any of my questions. He is sharp and I was thankful for having him repersent me.

Rising Star in Criminal Defense and Family Law

Endorsing Stephen Downes is easy. It's easy because he is an outstanding lawyer with a breadth of experience and a varied background. He is a former police officer, so he knows the law from a law enforcement perspective as well as that of a defense lawyer. He has been in the Pastorate and has serv...ed as a Pastor to local youth, helping direct them toward safe and productive life paths. He has a real heart for families and helps mend broken relationships as often as he assists in a proceedings that lead to a dissolution of marriage. He is personable and kind, but he has no tolerance for wrong done to his clients, and he fights hard for them and for what he believes is right. He has an inquisitive & sharp mind, an abundant supply of energy, and in my opinion, he is completely trustworthy and everything one wants his lawyer to be. I am grateful for his assistance, and I recommend him to others without reservation.
