I want to start with saying we all make mistakes and Steve Garcia is the only lawyer I will recommend for you or your family and don't forget you friends . My case involved a deadly weapon while i was already a previous felon here's a hint mandatory prison but thanks to Steve Garcia im still with my family . He did everything a defense lawyer should do. He keeps you very well informed of the good or bad possibilities. He returns your calls and txt within minutes never leaves you guessing. Educative of the laws step by step. Verywell dressed and groomed as presentation is very important in the courts it shows a sign of respect. Im most definitely sure after hearing the other lawyers in the court defend other cases he is the best lawyer out there. I choose Steve Garcia for my defense hands down. Thank you again Steve for the second chance you helped me find.
I was introduced to Stephen through a family member after my first lawyer didn't workout. I'm a truck driver and received a DUI. I was stressed out about the situation, but Stephen took care of everything for me. He actually fought for me, and didn't accept the first offer they made like most lawyers. Real easy to get a hold of whether text or phone call. Great experience and although I hope I never have to be in this type of situation again. I will not hesitate to contact Stephen in the future if ever needed.
I worked with Stephen on a very sensitive case that was highly impactful on my life. He went way above and beyond the call of duty in preparing for my case, consulting with other attorneys to find the best defense and presenting my case to the judge. He was ready for anything, had an incredible knowledge of the law -- including the relevant and very nuanced changes from the last 20 years, and presented himself and my case to the judge in a very respectful manner. The outcome was the best I could have hoped for and was exactly what he prepared me for.
