i live in Virginia and had to cind a lawyer in CT for a case up there. I researched and contacted about 6 lawyers. After reaching Stephen, i knew i had found a lawyer that would do his job. I had multiple lawyers in the past through my divorce and child custody that just showed up for the court hearing and collected a paycheck. Stephen was reponsive, prepared and worked hard for my case. I would definitely hire him again no.questions asked abd highly recommend him if your looking for a great criminal defense lawyer.

He is a great attorney. He was very compassionate for my case and he is a very skilled cross examiner. His questions showed the truth and I couldn’t ask for anything better. Also he always called me back or texted me back right away and kept me notified of any updates. His special care and compassion comes though. highly recommend him.

Stephen J. Deleo his pound for pound, dollar for dollar, the best criminal defense attorney you can find. I unfortunately ended up on the wrong side of the law, through no fault of my own, just lazy, inept investigatory work on behalf of a detective for a nearby police department. Attorney DeLeo, put my mind at ease, from the moment we met, when I immediately retained his services. And he been fighting for me like a champion. He managed to have the two charges against me dropped within a month of our first meeting. I whole heartedly endorse him, with no reservations. I feel as though I now have another brother for life! Thanks Steve!

Steve is quietly one of the best criminal defense lawyers in the whole of Connecticut. I know he doesn’t spend money advertising and he doesn’t do any self-promotion. He just represents people to the best of his ability day and and day out. Even more amazing is that attorney Deleo is hardly a “one-trick pony.” Unlike most criminal lawyers I researched in lower Fairfield County, Attorney Deleo is a tremendous trial lawyer. And one thing I learned that is far more Important than all of that - Steve truly cares for his clients. Whoever has Stephen DeLeo for an attorney has done themselves a great service.
