Stephen Bradley Hesse Jr.

Who doesn't charge you more when they can??? (read below) I interviewed many lawyers to help with a false accusation against my family. However, Steve was the only one that I felt "cared" on the phone. He dropped what he was doing to meet us at the police station the next day. When he got there, ...he walked us through what to expect and the Lieutenant remembered Steve for when he was "on the other side". Steve's knowledge of how the police work was instrumental in warning us what to do/not do. As a result, things went very smoothly. (He is a combination of a gentle demeanor and also a serious bulldog depending upon the hat he needs to wear.) He even assisted my wife when she was questioned even though he was officially representing me and not her. She later joked that she didn't want his help in the first place and then wished Steve was "her" lawyer! After the police meeting, I offered to pay more to retain him all the way through the potential process. He advised me to wait as he didn't want to take my money when we didn't even know if there would be next steps (or what they would be). Fast forward to our names being cleared and we didn't have to have any next steps. YAY!!! Steve followed up with us and we didn't have to pay any additional money. Although I hope I NEVER have to use him again, I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who needs help. If I ever do need help in the future, he'll be my first call.

I hired Hesse to defend me in a criminal case that he knew was trumped up. But in our discussions of what his fee would be, he started using language that indicated that he wasn't going to represent me according to the defense strategy that I wanted---CONSISTENT EXPRESSIONS OF INNOCENCE. I gave him t...he retainer under the caveat that it was only if I couldn't find another attorney before the next hearing. I did find another attorney, and I have asked him several times to return my money, and he has not. He already had a retainer from me that he was working from (he took and received a few phone calls on my behalf), and the only paperwork he ever had to work on for me was to file a notice of appearance. [BTW, Terry Davis Sr. worked to get it DISMISSED within days after I hired him.] I changed my "no" recommend to "yes" because he did seem personable and competent and so he might be a good fit for someone else with a different situation.

I had gotten a DWI and lets just say it was a horrible experience. I am a school teacher and was so scared. I read online that The Dick Law firm had a lot of good reviews so I decided to check it out. Stephen walked me though the process step by step very throughly and explained all my options. I nev...er felt rushed and if I had a question that needed an answer I had heard from him within less than 12 hours. There are other cheaper options out there for DWI lawyers but you will get what you paid for. Not all situations were the same but he was also able to get me out of my license suspension! Something that normally doesn't happen. I would highly recommend him.

Upon reading these positive reviews, we hired Mr. Hesse. He is a nice man, but here's what you need to know: he is a part of the Williamson County machine of sticking it to anyone who happens to make a mistake there. The consequences laid down for a first offense possession charge were so extensive a...nd horrible that when our case was transferred to our home county, no one in law enforcement could believe the long list of things that had to be suffered through. Steve will tell you not to hang around any criminals, and then put you in situations where that's all you're around. You will not be able to get a job. Anywhere. As soon as your case is signed off, Steve will not respond to you. You will do jail time and pay a ridiculous amount of money. Basically, the best thing you can do is never go to Williamson County and if, God forbid, you get busted for something down there, Steve isn't going to care much about you at all....but your $6000....that will get him to say all the right things so you'll hire him. Then count on having your life ruined. And watch him drive away in his luxury vehicle....
