Highly recommended

This is the second time Steven Scheinin has represented me. He far exceeds other lawyers in knowledge and his rates are very reasonable. Steven helps to represent the working person.

Steven Scheinin is an Excellent Attornery to have on your side!

Steven Scheinin does an excellent job of understanding my concerns and giving me the information I need to make a good decision. He is excellent in providing links to pertinent web sites so I can do my own research as well.

Lawyer Review

Excellent representation. Even when I was willing to pay the ticket because I saw no way out, Mr. Scheinin came through with flying colors. He was confident, experienced, knowledgable and easy to get along with. I was amazed at his Oscar performance! Outstanding! Would highly recommend him with out r...eservation.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
