I would highly recommend hiring Stephen Shechtel for legal counsel. After coming across a stressful financial issue, I reached out to Stephen. I had previously worked with his daughter, Bethany, for another case and received solid advice from her, and I had previously learned of his range of expertise. One of the things I appreciate most about Stephen is he is direct and honest- very helpful when handling a crisis that you’re anxious about. His legal acumen is apparent from the beginning and he laid out the options clearly. He wrote up motions and contacted the institution I was in dispute with and my issue was settled without litigation. I got the best possible outcome in a matter of weeks - during this pandemic! His support has freed me from additional financial stress and I am very grateful.
My husband passed away, and I chose Stephen to be my lawyer. He helped me and my kids get our estate. He made me laugh; he is very honest and friendly. He heard about my situation and even though it was a very hard one, he solved everything as fast as he could. He gave me a lot of information; I learned a lot from him. His office is beautiful and comfortable. He always replies to my emails even when he is on vacation. Thank you Stephen for all of your help.
Stephen and Bethany Shechtel are a father-daughter combo. I have worked with both and I am impressed, not only with their knowledge of family law, but with their commitment to ensuring that their clients are informed and represented to the fullest extent. They are very accessible and go beyond, not only what other lawyers would do, but what most people would do. This duo thinks and acts on the behalf of their clients so fervently and aggressively that you feel like family. I am beyond happy and emphatically recommend Stephen and Bethany Shechtel; I am less stressed and feel more protected since securing their services.
Mr. Shechtel was amazing to watch in action. He worked quickly with this air of amazing, analytical intelligence. He possesses an assertive professionalism, plus a gleaming confidence- that must come from his talented skills and work experience. Truly a Warrior!! He stepped up for our family (family of 6-four of which are young children). Mr. Shechtel came to our aid during a very stressful and trying time. And despite the heavy weight of this situation that was hanging over us, Mr. Shechtel brought his positive vibe and energy. We glimpsed his quick wit and humor. All in all, he was brilliant!! We worked with his office, in a short period of time- four days (And with only two of which that were actually business days.) Yet, despite the short notice, he was willing to work with us. And best of all, he was able to secure for us a positive outcome for our hearing. If you are looking for brilliance, and a Warrior to stand for you, you have come to the right place. Do your best to prepare, and you will not be disappointed!!!
Mr. Shechtel is very knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile for his clients. He has assisted me personally and my businesses with extremely difficult cases and won every time. He will make sure that you protect yourself going forward to avoid any future problems. Don't waist your time going anywhere else. He will not let you down!
Stephen Shechtel is a great attorney with a lot of experience. He is honest and will tell you up front EXACTLY what he can do for you. He won't charge for things you can do yourself and indeed, will even advise to SAVE you money and still WIN your case. He is also funny, which helps when dealing with a depressing divorce.
It's rare to find someone who takes the time to hear your situation, give you advice, then tell you you don't need an attorney to go to court with you because he "...doesn't want to rip you off." Stephen saved me $750 by advising me what to do and telling me I could get it done by myself. That's refreshing. He's actually helped me twice without charging me a fee. I am pleased to recommend him to anyone and to sing his praises. He was recommended to me by Glenn "Rusty" Hall, a retired attorney from Rockville who practiced law for some 40 years. I am grateful for the recommendation. Stephen knows his stuff, doesn't beat around the bush, gets to the heart of the matter and advises you. He's terrific.
I had to get my son away from his misfit substance abuser and alcoholic mother and was granted emergency custody within two business days of meeting mr. Stephen. He not only helped me locate and take custody of my son but he also taught me to become a wonderful father in the process by advising me of all my parental rights and responsibilities and teaching me all the steps needed to handle this case when we move forward in the future. I'm very thankful and lucky that I have the privilege of having mr. Stephen as my attorney.
Mr. Shechtel has helped in contractual agreements for my business. He helped get me full custody of my son. He and his team have treated my family extremely well and worked. I can't say enough good things about this firm.
Steve has represented me the criminal charges and divorce. I was innocent and he was able to prove that and all charges were dismissed and my divorce could not have gone any better. He provides advise for me on an ongoing basis whether it be legal, trucks i.e. Harley Davidson. I made a bumper sticker for Steve you see in his office "My lawyer beats your lawyer"
