About

Stephen M. Govin formed the Law Office of Stephen M. Govin, LLC after practicing law with the law firm of Reddin, Singer & Govin for ten years.  Stephen’s practice is dedicated exclusively to criminal defense in state and federal courts across Wisconsin.  He decided to form the Law Office of Stephen M. Govin, LLC to provide clients with the highest level of legal services while being personally involved with every aspect of the client’s case from start to finish.  Stephen has always been recognized for his personable and professional demeanor in court and has achieved extraordinary results for his clients for over a decade by aggressively defending his client’s rights.    Stephen was raised in Waukesha, Wisconsin by his parents Charles and Beatrice.  The youngest of four boys, Stephen was raised in a very competitive environment which has served has him well on the athletic fields and in the courts.  Stephen was a highly decorated athlete, competing in both soccer and wrestling as a youth before attending Catholic Memorial High School (CMH) in Waukesha.  While at CMH, Stephen earned eight varsity letters (four in soccer and four in wrestling) while competing on three separate state championships teams.  In soccer at CMH Stephen was a prolific goal scorer, he was recognized as a first team all-conference player twice, the conference player of the year once, and as a senior was one of the most recruited players in the Midwest.  In wrestling at CMH Stephen was tenacious, he was recognized as the wrestler of the year twice at CHM, was a four year state tournament place winner (freshman-4th, sophomore-3rd, junior-2nd, senior-1st), and as a senior was an undefeated state champion with a record of 30-0.  Because of his accomplishments athletically at CMH, Stephen was voted the CMH male athlete of the year as a senior and was honored by the Waukesha Freeman newspaper as the Waukesha County male athlete of the year that same year.  Following high school, Stephen accepted an athletic scholarship to attend Marquette University and played Division I soccer at Marquette while majoring in criminology and law studies.  Athletically at Marquette, Stephen was a starting forward each year and helped Marquette reach its first ever NCAA Division I soccer tournament in 1997.  As a senior, Stephen led Marquette in goals scored and total points.  Stephen’s name still appears in the all-time record books for Marquette soccer in a number of categories.  Following his undergraduate graduation from Marquette, Stephen turned down playing professional soccer and decided to attend Marquette University Law School and pursue his passion for criminal law.  He put himself through law school by bartending on the eastside of Milwaukee for three years and coaching numerous youth soccer teams in southeast Wisconsin including with Waukesha Spring City Soccer Club, Brookfield Soccer Club and four years as a head coach for the Wisconsin Olympic Development Program (as a player, Stephen was selected to play for the Olympic Development Program and competed for the Olympic Development Program at various national and international competitions).  A number of the players Stephen coached went on to play Division I soccer in college and some even represented their county’s national teams at youth World Cups and other international matches.  While at Marquette University Law School, Stephen focused on criminal law from his first day; unlike many law students who don’t know what area of the law they want to practice, Stephen knew going into law school he was going to be a criminal defense attorney.  Because of his focus on criminal law from the beginning of law school, Stephen was able to tailor his experience at Marquette to take advantage of coursework that would prepare him for the criminal courts.  He excelled in courses on evidence law, criminal procedure, federal criminal procedure, trial advocacy, the constitution and criminal investigation and many others.  Stephen not only focused his coursework on criminal law but he applied for and received a number of clerkships while in law school that gave him real world legal experience even before graduating from law school.  Stephen clerked for the Honorable Victor Manion in Milwaukee County Circuit Court, the Honorable Chief Judge of the Wisconsin Court of Appeals Richard Brown, and spent his last year of law school practicing law at the Milwaukee office of the State Public Defender.  By the time Stephen graduated from Marquette University Law School he had more courtroom experience than many second or third year lawyers. After being admitted to the bar, Stephen began working as a trial attorney at Reddin & Singer which would later become Reddin, Singer & Govin.  From his first day of practice Stephen was solely responsible for his client’s files from start to finish and began trying cases in criminal courts throughout Wisconsin immediately.  Because of Stephen’s unique background both athletically and academically, Stephen was quickly recognized as a formidable opponent in the criminal courts and as a rising star within the Wisconsin legal community.  For over a decade Stephen has aggressively defended his clients in cases involving a wide array of charges from misdemeanor offenses to the most serious felony offenses in both state and federal courts throughout Wisconsin.  Stephen has won numerous acquittals for his clients at jury trials and has successfully argued for the suppression of evidence in his client’s cases on a regular basis.  Stephen has built solid relationships within the Wisconsin legal community and is known for his quiet confidence and personable demeanor.  Not every case requires litigation or is appropriate for litigation and Stephen has the experience to know what is best for each case; however, Stephen’s competitive nature is on full display while litigating trials and he has never shied away from a tough fight when that is what is required.  Year after year Stephen has been named a Rising Star by Milwaukee Magazine, recognizing him as a top criminal defense attorney in Wisconsin as voted on by other attorneys and judges.  Stephen is a member of various professional organizations and legal bodies.  Stephen has lived in the Milwaukee and Waukesha County area since his first birthday and is deeply engrained in the southeastern Wisconsin community.  Stephen is married and has one daughter and his family presently lives in Waukesha County.  In his free time Stephen enjoys traveling the world with his family, music, playing soccer, surfing, and food and wine.

Beyond happy with the services of Attorney Govin. I contacted him after doing internet research for superlawyers who practice criminal law - I talked with him and consulted with 5 other law offices before deciding to hire him. Most of the lawyers I spoke with told me to contact them after charges were issued OR they cost triple what I was charged for pre-charging legal representation - TRIPLE. When I talked with Attorney Govin, he offered a "package" price for the pre-charging phase. That was great because I didn't have any more surprises with individual charged phone calls, emails, etc. While you dont need attorney representation at the pre-charging phase, it was the BEST decision to spend the money and get him involved. He was able to help me navigate the jail system and get my boyfriend released with no bail. He was a comfort to me, as I had not been involved with the criminal justice system before. I feel like he went out of his way to keep me (and his client) abreast of all the details of the process and even called me at 9 p.m. to check that my boyfriend was released from jail. Most importantly, he began conversations with the DA BEFORE any charging occurred. He worked with the DA and this helped reduce the charges from two serious felony charges to a single misdemeanor charge. My boyfriend is a 15 year ex-felon so we had the odds stacked against us during this process and he was looking at an uphill fight. We used Attorney Govin's service after charges were filed to appear with my boyfriend in court for sentencing. That too was a flat fee which included all meetings, paperwork and appearances. Even though his charge was a misdemeanor, he was still looking at 90 days in jail and fines. Attorney Govin was able to get 12 months probation with no fines. This was a BIG change from the two felony counts (each carrying max 25 years) and substantial max penalty fines. I was impressed with his detail, professionalism and follow through. He treated us with respect and I truly felt that he was in our corner and looking out for his best interest. I hope to never have to hire a criminal attorney again - but I would use his services again without hesitation.

Attorney Stephen Govin is an outstanding Defense Attorney. He represented our son in a two-count sexual assault case. The case went on for 23 months, and Attorney Govin never tired, was relentless, meticulous, and pursued every court hearing and motion like it was the first one. He worked very hard for us to the very end. Over the 23 months we sent many emails and made several calls to Attorney Govin, he was always there for us. He returned emails and calls very quickly, including his true thoughts and perspective on each one. He was very strategic and detailed throughout the entire process, explaining each step and approach that was taken. During the trial he was absolutely astonishing, he was focused and captured the attention of the jury during his witness questioning and especially during the closing arguments. He was in a zone and delivered his message flawlessly, hammering on vital points. He is on his way to becoming one of the best Defense Attorneys in the United States. We are very fortunate to have discovered and reached-out to Attorney Govin. Our son received not-guilty verdicts on both counts and the charges were acquitted. Our family will never forget his dedication and persistence through this ordeal.

Hired Stephen to help me with a traffic misdemeanor. As someone who was hiring a lawyer for the first time, he was very patient with me and easy to talk to and was comprehensive in his explanation of everything that is happening and will be happening. Beyond that, he has a supremely thorough knowledge of law and the law system. Fought hard for me and left me with extremely positive results. Would absolutely hire again in a second.

I was comfortable to be open and honest with my thoughts/feelings/concerns. Regardless of my numerous questions or my frustration expressed, Steve always listened, explained things I didn't understand and I always felt that he actually cared about what was happening. I never imagined I would be in need of an attorney, but I thank God for leading me to Steven Govin. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need.

We utilized Steve for various services over the past three years. He was knowledgeable and very responsive to our needs. He provided excellent representation and communicated frequently with us throughout the process. We were unfamiliar with the legal process and Steve was very thorough with his explanations and potential outcomes. He delivered excellent results. We will continue to use his services if future legal issues arise and strongly recommend him.

We have had occasion to employ Stephen Goven on two instances of a similar nature. Stephen was very involved and provided constant advise and feedback on how the cases were proceeding. In my opinion, Stephan went the extra mile to make sure every based was covered. He was professional and yet measured in his approach. Stephen keeps an even keel even during events that were very emotional to the family. He provided clear explanations regarding both the process and desired result. One of the things about our situation is that we were learning new things everyday as the case went forward. Stephen did an excellent job of keeping us up to speed on all aspects of the case and also what his stratgegy was moving forward. The final result was that Stephen won the case despite not having a great deal to work with. I have worked with multiple attorneys over the years, and I do not hesistate to say that my experience with Stephen was by far the best. He really comes across as not someone out to make a buck, but to make a difference. There is no doubt in my that if I had occasion in the future to hire an attorney, Stephen Goven would be my first call.

As someone who was hiring a lawyer for the first time, he was very patient with me and easy to talk to and was comprehensive in his explanation of everything that is happening and will be happening. Beyond that, he has a supremely thorough knowledge of law and the law system. Fought hard for me and left me with extremely positive results. Would absolutely hire again in a second.

I couldn’t have asked for better representation. Attorney Govin explained everything thoroughly and answered all of my questions/concerns and gave me a sense of ease about my situation. I walked out his office knowing that I was in good hands. Thank you for all of your help!

I was comfortable to be open and honest with my thoughts/feelings/concerns. Regardless of my numerous questions or my frustration expressed, Steve always listened, explained things I didn't understand and I always felt that he actually cared about what was happening. I never imagined I would be in need of an attorney, but I thank God for leading me to Steven Govin. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need.

We utilized Steve for various services over the past three years. He was knowledgeable and very responsive to our needs. He provided excellent representation and communicated frequently with us throughout the process. We were unfamiliar with the legal process and Steve was very thorough with his explanations and potential outcomes. He delivered excellent results. We will continue to use his services if future legal issues arise and strongly recommend him.

We have had occasion to employ Stephen Goven on two instances of a similar nature. Stephen was very involved and provided constant advise and feedback on how the cases were proceeding. In my opinion, Stephan went the extra mile to make sure every based was covered. He was professional and yet measured in his approach. Stephen keeps an even keel even during events that were very emotional to the family. He provided clear explanations regarding both the process and desired result. One of the things about our situation is that we were learning new things everyday as the case went forward. Stephen did an excellent job of keeping us up to speed on all aspects of the case and also what his stratgegy was moving forward. The final result was that Stephen won the case despite not having a great deal to work with. I have worked with multiple attorneys over the years, and I do not hesistate to say that my experience with Stephen was by far the best. He really comes across as not someone out to make a buck, but to make a difference. There is no doubt in my that if I had occasion in the future to hire an attorney, Stephen Goven would be my first call.

Beyond happy with the services of Attorney Govin. I contacted him after doing internet research for superlawyers who practice criminal law - I talked with him and consulted with 5 other law offices before deciding to hire him. Most of the lawyers I spoke with told me to contact them after charges were issued OR they cost triple what I was charged for pre-charging legal representation - TRIPLE. When I talked with Attorney Govin, he offered a "package" price for the pre-charging phase. That was great because I didn't have any more surprises with individual charged phone calls, emails, etc. While you dont need attorney representation at the pre-charging phase, it was the BEST decision to spend the money and get him involved. He was able to help me navigate the jail system and get my boyfriend released with no bail. He was a comfort to me, as I had not been involved with the criminal justice system before. I feel like he went out of his way to keep me (and his client) abreast of all the details of the process and even called me at 9 p.m. to check that my boyfriend was released from jail. Most importantly, he began conversations with the DA BEFORE any charging occurred. He worked with the DA and this helped reduce the charges from two serious felony charges to a single misdemeanor charge. My boyfriend is a 15 year ex-felon so we had the odds stacked against us during this process and he was looking at an uphill fight. We used Attorney Govin's service after charges were filed to appear with my boyfriend in court for sentencing. That too was a flat fee which included all meetings, paperwork and appearances. Even though his charge was a misdemeanor, he was still looking at 90 days in jail and fines. Attorney Govin was able to get 12 months probation with no fines. This was a BIG change from the two felony counts (each carrying max 25 years) and substantial max penalty fines. I was impressed with his detail, professionalism and follow through. He treated us with respect and I truly felt that he was in our corner and looking out for his best interest. I hope to never have to hire a criminal attorney again - but I would use his services again without hesitation.

Attorney Stephen Govin is an outstanding Defense Attorney. He represented our son in a two-count sexual assault case. The case went on for 23 months, and Attorney Govin never tired, was relentless, meticulous, and pursued every court hearing and motion like it was the first one. He worked very hard for us to the very end. Over the 23 months we sent many emails and made several calls to Attorney Govin, he was always there for us. He returned emails and calls very quickly, including his true thoughts and perspective on each one. He was very strategic and detailed throughout the entire process, explaining each step and approach that was taken. During the trial he was absolutely astonishing, he was focused and captured the attention of the jury during his witness questioning and especially during the closing arguments. He was in a zone and delivered his message flawlessly, hammering on vital points. He is on his way to becoming one of the best Defense Attorneys in the United States. We are very fortunate to have discovered and reached-out to Attorney Govin. Our son received not-guilty verdicts on both counts and the charges were acquitted. Our family will never forget his dedication and persistence through this ordeal.

When I talked with Attorney Govin, he offered a "package" price for the pre-charging phase. That was great because I didn't have any more surprises with individual charged phone calls, emails, etc. While you dont need attorney representation at the pre-charging phase, it was the BEST decision to spend the money and get him involved. He was able to help me navigate the jail system and get my boyfriend released with no bail. He was a comfort to me, as I had not been involved with the criminal justice system before. I feel like he went out of his way to keep me (and his client) abreast of all the details of the process and even called me at 9 p.m. to check that my boyfriend was released from jail. Most importantly, he began conversations with the DA BEFORE any charging occurred. He worked with the DA and this helped reduce the charges from two serious felony charges to a single misdemeanor charge. My boyfriend is a 15 year ex-felon so we had the odds stacked against us during this process and he was looking at an uphill fight. We used Attorney Govin's service after charges were filed to appear with my boyfriend in court for sentencing. That too was a flat fee which included all meetings, paperwork and appearances. Even though his charge was a misdemeanor, he was still looking at 90 days in jail and fines. Attorney Govin was able to get 12 months probation with no fines. This was a BIG change from the two felony counts (each carrying max 25 years) and substantial max penalty fines. I was impressed with his detail, professionalism and follow through. He treated us with respect and I truly felt that he was in our corner and looking out for his best interest. I hope to never have to hire a criminal attorney again - but I would use his services again without hesitation.

Attorney Stephen Govin is an outstanding Defense Attorney. He represented our son in a two-count sexual assault case. The case went on for 23 months, and Attorney Govin never tired, was relentless, meticulous, and pursued every court hearing and motion like it was the first one. He worked very hard for us to the very end. Over the 23 months we sent many emails and made several calls to Attorney Govin, he was always there for us. He returned emails and calls very quickly, including his true thoughts and perspective on each one. He was very strategic and detailed throughout the entire process, explaining each step and approach that was taken. During the trial he was absolutely astonishing, he was focused and captured the attention of the jury during his witness questioning and especially during the closing arguments. He was in a zone and delivered his message flawlessly, hammering on vital points. He is on his way to becoming one of the best Defense Attorneys in the United States. We are very fortunate to have discovered and reached-out to Attorney Govin. Our son received not-guilty verdicts on both counts and the charges were acquitted. Our family will never forget his dedication and persistence through this ordeal.

Hired Stephen to help me with a traffic misdemeanor. As someone who was hiring a lawyer for the first time, he was very patient with me and easy to talk to and was comprehensive in his explanation of everything that is happening and will be happening. Beyond that, he has a supremely thorough knowledge of law and the law system. Fought hard for me and left me with extremely positive results. Would absolutely hire again in a second.

I never imagined I would be in need of an attorney, but I thank God for leading me to Steven Govin. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need.

We utilized Steve for various services over the past three years. He was knowledgeable and very responsive to our needs. He provided excellent representation and communicated frequently with us throughout the process. We were unfamiliar with the legal process and Steve was very thorough with his explanations and potential outcomes. He delivered excellent results. We will continue to use his services if future legal issues arise and strongly recommend him.

We have had occasion to employ Stephen Goven on two instances of a similar nature. Stephen was very involved and provided constant advise and feedback on how the cases were proceeding. In my opinion, Stephan went the extra mile to make sure every based was covered. He was professional and yet measured in his approach. Stephen keeps an even keel even during events that were very emotional to the family. He provided clear explanations regarding both the process and desired result. One of the things about our situation is that we were learning new things everyday as the case went forward. Stephen did an excellent job of keeping us up to speed on all aspects of the case and also what his stratgegy was moving forward. The final result was that Stephen won the case despite not having a great deal to work with. I have worked with multiple attorneys over the years, and I do not hesistate to say that my experience with Stephen was by far the best. He really comes across as not someone out to make a buck, but to make a difference. There is no doubt in my that if I had occasion in the future to hire an attorney, Stephen Goven would be my first call.

As someone who was hiring a lawyer for the first time, he was very patient with me and easy to talk to and was comprehensive in his explanation of everything that is happening and will be happening. Beyond that, he has a supremely thorough knowledge of law and the law system. Fought hard for me and left me with extremely positive results. Would absolutely hire again in a second.

I couldn’t have asked for better representation. Attorney Govin explained everything thoroughly and answered all of my questions/concerns and gave me a sense of ease about my situation. I walked out his office knowing that I was in good hands. Thank you for all of your help!

I was comfortable to be open and honest with my thoughts/feelings/concerns. Regardless of my numerous questions or my frustration expressed, Steve always listened, explained things I didn't understand and I always felt that he actually cared about what was happening. I never imagined I would be in need of an attorney, but I thank God for leading me to Steven Govin. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need.

We utilized Steve for various services over the past three years. He was knowledgeable and very responsive to our needs. He provided excellent representation and communicated frequently with us throughout the process. We were unfamiliar with the legal process and Steve was very thorough with his explanations and potential outcomes. He delivered excellent results. We will continue to use his services if future legal issues arise and strongly recommend him.

We have had occasion to employ Stephen Goven on two instances of a similar nature. Stephen was very involved and provided constant advise and feedback on how the cases were proceeding. In my opinion, Stephan went the extra mile to make sure every based was covered. He was professional and yet measured in his approach. Stephen keeps an even keel even during events that were very emotional to the family. He provided clear explanations regarding both the process and desired result. One of the things about our situation is that we were learning new things everyday as the case went forward. Stephen did an excellent job of keeping us up to speed on all aspects of the case and also what his stratgegy was moving forward. The final result was that Stephen won the case despite not having a great deal to work with. I have worked with multiple attorneys over the years, and I do not hesistate to say that my experience with Stephen was by far the best. He really comes across as not someone out to make a buck, but to make a difference. There is no doubt in my that if I had occasion in the future to hire an attorney, Stephen Goven would be my first call.

Beyond happy with the services of Attorney Govin. I contacted him after doing internet research for superlawyers who practice criminal law - I talked with him and consulted with 5 other law offices before deciding to hire him. Most of the lawyers I spoke with told me to contact them after charges were issued OR they cost triple what I was charged for pre-charging legal representation - TRIPLE. When I talked with Attorney Govin, he offered a "package" price for the pre-charging phase. That was great because I didn't have any more surprises with individual charged phone calls, emails, etc. While you dont need attorney representation at the pre-charging phase, it was the BEST decision to spend the money and get him involved. He was able to help me navigate the jail system and get my boyfriend released with no bail. He was a comfort to me, as I had not been involved with the criminal justice system before. I feel like he went out of his way to keep me (and his client) abreast of all the details of the process and even called me at 9 p.m. to check that my boyfriend was released from jail. Most importantly, he began conversations with the DA BEFORE any charging occurred. He worked with the DA and this helped reduce the charges from two serious felony charges to a single misdemeanor charge. My boyfriend is a 15 year ex-felon so we had the odds stacked against us during this process and he was looking at an uphill fight. We used Attorney Govin's service after charges were filed to appear with my boyfriend in court for sentencing. That too was a flat fee which included all meetings, paperwork and appearances. Even though his charge was a misdemeanor, he was still looking at 90 days in jail and fines. Attorney Govin was able to get 12 months probation with no fines. This was a BIG change from the two felony counts (each carrying max 25 years) and substantial max penalty fines. I was impressed with his detail, professionalism and follow through. He treated us with respect and I truly felt that he was in our corner and looking out for his best interest. I hope to never have to hire a criminal attorney again - but I would use his services again without hesitation.

Attorney Stephen Govin is an outstanding Defense Attorney. He represented our son in a two-count sexual assault case. The case went on for 23 months, and Attorney Govin never tired, was relentless, meticulous, and pursued every court hearing and motion like it was the first one. He worked very hard for us to the very end. Over the 23 months we sent many emails and made several calls to Attorney Govin, he was always there for us. He returned emails and calls very quickly, including his true thoughts and perspective on each one. He was very strategic and detailed throughout the entire process, explaining each step and approach that was taken. During the trial he was absolutely astonishing, he was focused and captured the attention of the jury during his witness questioning and especially during the closing arguments. He was in a zone and delivered his message flawlessly, hammering on vital points. He is on his way to becoming one of the best Defense Attorneys in the United States. We are very fortunate to have discovered and reached-out to Attorney Govin. Our son received not-guilty verdicts on both counts and the charges were acquitted. Our family will never forget his dedication and persistence through this ordeal.
