I recently was charged with a crime, a felony, but because of prop 47, it became a misdemeanor, HOWEVER, perhaps not for me. To make matters worse, I picked up a SECOND case shortly after. I unfortunately have quite an extensive past, involving 2 state prison terms. Because of that, these misdemeanors could have very well been brought up to a felony, because of my past and I may have been facing another long prison term. I did not have much time to act, however I did not have the means for an attorney, and accepted the fact I would be getting a public defender. Without going into personal detail, I had A LOT more to lose than just my freedom, a mentally challenged brother who lives with me, as I take care of him. He ONLY has me. I had A LOT to lose. ONE DAY before my initial court date, I had the means to hire a private attorney. One day. I googled, "TOP CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEYS IN SAN DIEGO", and MR. STEPHEN CLINE'S name came up, top on the page. I called his office. My call was answered by TRISHA PHILLIPS, Mr. Cline's office manager and assistant. Trisha listened patiently to my panicked story, was extremely professional and sympathetic towards me. I hired Mr. Cline OVER the phone with Trisha, and drove to his office to settle arrangements with her. In one hour, I had an attorney, without ever meeting Mr. Cline at that point, I somehow KNEW, I was in THE BEST of hands. Mr. Cline appeared in court for me the following morning. I received a call from Trisha afterwards relaying the outcome of the day. Because of the severity, not the charge thus far, but the severity of my PAST, Mr. Cline was completely up front with me of the possibilities I faced and his course of action he planned to take so I would receive the best possible outcome. Anyone going through a court case knows, your attorney can never guarantee you anything, but what he can tell you, is what he plans to do for you. This is the moment, you will KNOW, if you hired a great attorney, if he or she is planning to FIGHT for you. Mr. Cline did this for me. I KNEW, I could not have hired ANYONE better. I knew he was going to fight for me. He had legal aids work closely with me, gathering details that Mr. Cline requested, and he continued going to court, on my behalf, all through the court proceedings, and then I would be informed of each outcome. Finally, sentencing day and it was over. TWO cases, an extensive background, TWO prison prior terms......and I NEVER stepped into the courtroom ONCE, Mr. Cline did. I did NOT get a state prison term, nor even a county jail sentence. I am doing 3 months house arrest, 5 days public work service and of course, fines, which is out of any attorneys control. Believe me, going through court proceedings is terrifying, especially when you're facing prison. I have done it twice, and the court proceedings are almost worst than the time, almost. As frightened as I was about my possibilities of prison again, I never felt the intense pressures and stress of going to court. I never stepped a foot inside, I didn't have to, I hired, THE TOP CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY IN SAN DIEGO !! This is a FACT ! I am not proud of my past, but I am not too ashamed of it either, I paid my dues and my debt to society and I've been told and I know, I paid a little too harshly for my offenses in the past. Thankfully, because of Mr. Cline, I did not have to pay once more, with my freedom. This ATTORNEY.....he is THE ONE to have on your side !!! I was almost sorry when it was over because I wouldn't be seeing him again.......NOT IN HIS OFFICE !! Not me ! I was would like to add, my case was finalized 3 months ago. I have had attorneys in the past...once the case is over, his office is done with you. Not at Mr. Cline's. I have called many times with questions since, regarding my court orders, and ALWAYS, Trisha is there to guide and advise me. I cannot say enough and I cannot THANK YOU enough Mr. Cline, Trisha and your entire team !!
Mr. Cline was an excellent lawyer, he helped me in my legal mater and got me through it with the best possible outcome. If I ever need a lawyer or any legal service again I will not hesitate to talk to Mr. Cline.
Steve's experience, relationships with prosecutors, and diligence set him apart from other defense attorneys. He provides his clients with the peace of mind that he will achieve the best possible outcome under the circumstances. Moreover, he is sympathetic, understanding, and never patronizing. Steve knows that a client's lone bad decision can be life altering and he takes utmost care in preserving that client's dignity. If you are looking for or recommending a defense attorney, Steve Cline needs to be on that short list.
Steve Cline has provided me with outstanding service and professionalism. Additionally he has, voluntarily represented a younger member of my family at his own suggestion even though the charges were very small and not something you would expect him to deal with. Once Mr. Cline represents you, then you and your family become his concern for all legal matters . Steve truly cares about his clients.
I have known Stephen Cline for more than 15 years. He has represented both me and my businesses on several occasions and a variety of matters. As the owner of several business entities in different industries, I am faced with a regular stream of legal demands or needs. Steve has handled it all- from extremely complex litigation to nuisance complaints. He is an aggressive, straight forward and honest attorney. I would highly recommend him to friends, family or colleagues.

Trisha listened patiently to my panicked story, was extremely professional and sympathetic towards me. I hired Mr. Cline OVER the phone with Trisha, and drove to his office to settle arrangements with her. In one hour, I had an attorney, without ever meeting Mr. Cline at that point, I somehow KNEW, I was in THE BEST of hands. Mr. Cline appeared in court for me the following morning. I received a call from Trisha afterwards relaying the outcome of the day. Because of the severity, not the charge thus far, but the severity of my PAST, Mr. Cline was completely up front with me of the possibilities I faced and his course of action he planned to take so I would receive the best possible outcome. Anyone going through a court case knows, your attorney can never guarantee you anything, but what he can tell you, is what he plans to do for you. This is the moment, you will KNOW, if you hired a great attorney, if he or she is planning to FIGHT for you. Mr. Cline did this for me. I KNEW, I could not have hired ANYONE better. I knew he was going to fight for me. He had legal aids work closely with me, gathering details that Mr. Cline requested, and he continued going to court, on my behalf, all through the court proceedings, and then I would be informed of each outcome. Finally, sentencing day and it was over. TWO cases, an extensive background, TWO prison prior terms......and I NEVER stepped into the courtroom ONCE, Mr. Cline did. I did NOT get a state prison term, nor even a county jail sentence. I am doing 3 months house arrest, 5 days public work service and of course, fines, which is out of any attorneys control. Believe me, going through court proceedings is terrifying, especially when you're facing prison. I have done it twice, and the court proceedings are almost worst than the time, almost. As frightened as I was about my possibilities of prison again, I never felt the intense pressures and stress of going to court. I never stepped a foot inside, I didn't have to, I hired, THE TOP CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY IN SAN DIEGO !! This is a FACT ! I am not proud of my past, but I am not too ashamed of it either, I paid my dues and my debt to society and I've been told and I know, I paid a little too harshly for my offenses in the past. Thankfully, because of Mr. Cline, I did not have to pay once more, with my freedom. This ATTORNEY.....he is THE ONE to have on your side !!! I was almost sorry when it was over because I wouldn't be seeing him again.......NOT IN HIS OFFICE !! Not me ! I was would like to add, my case was finalized 3 months ago. I have had attorneys in the past...once the case is over, his office is done with you. Not at Mr. Cline's. I have called many times with questions since, regarding my court orders, and ALWAYS, Trisha is there to guide and advise me. I cannot say enough and I cannot THANK YOU enough Mr. Cline, Trisha and your entire team !!
Mr. Cline was an excellent lawyer, he helped me in my legal mater and got me through it with the best possible outcome. If I ever need a lawyer or any legal service again I will not hesitate to talk to Mr. Cline.
Steve's experience, relationships with prosecutors, and diligence set him apart from other defense attorneys. He provides his clients with the peace of mind that he will achieve the best possible outcome under the circumstances. Moreover, he is sympathetic, understanding, and never patronizing. Steve knows that a client's lone bad decision can be life altering and he takes utmost care in preserving that client's dignity. If you are looking for or recommending a defense attorney, Steve Cline needs to be on that short list.
Steve Cline has provided me with outstanding service and professionalism. Additionally he has, voluntarily represented a younger member of my family at his own suggestion even though the charges were very small and not something you would expect him to deal with. Once Mr. Cline represents you, then you and your family become his concern for all legal matters . Steve truly cares about his clients.
I have known Stephen Cline for more than 15 years. He has represented both me and my businesses on several occasions and a variety of matters. As the owner of several business entities in different industries, I am faced with a regular stream of legal demands or needs. Steve has handled it all- from extremely complex litigation to nuisance complaints. He is an aggressive, straight forward and honest attorney. I would highly recommend him to friends, family or colleagues.
I recently was charged with a crime, a felony, but because of prop 47, it became a misdemeanor, HOWEVER, perhaps not for me. To make matters worse, I picked up a SECOND case shortly after. I unfortunately have quite an extensive past, involving 2 state prison terms. Because of that, these misdemeanors could have very well been brought up to a felony, because of my past and I may have been facing another long prison term. I did not have much time to act, however I did not have the means for an attorney, and accepted the fact I would be getting a public defender. Without going into personal detail, I had A LOT more to lose than just my freedom, a mentally challenged brother who lives with me, as I take care of him. He ONLY has me. I had A LOT to lose.

Finally, sentencing day and it was over. TWO cases, an extensive background, TWO prison prior terms......and I NEVER stepped into the courtroom ONCE, Mr. Cline did. I did NOT get a state prison term, nor even a county jail sentence. I am doing 3 months house arrest, 5 days public work service and of course, fines, which is out of any attorneys control. Believe me, going through court proceedings is terrifying, especially when you're facing prison. I have done it twice, and the court proceedings are almost worst than the time, almost. As frightened as I was about my possibilities of prison again, I never felt the intense pressures and stress of going to court. I never stepped a foot inside, I didn't have to, I hired, THE TOP CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY IN SAN DIEGO !! This is a FACT ! I am not proud of my past, but I am not too ashamed of it either, I paid my dues and my debt to society and I've been told and I know, I paid a little too harshly for my offenses in the past. Thankfully, because of Mr. Cline, I did not have to pay once more, with my freedom. This ATTORNEY.....he is THE ONE to have on your side !!! I was almost sorry when it was over because I wouldn't be seeing him again.......NOT IN HIS OFFICE !! Not me ! I was would like to add, my case was finalized 3 months ago. I have had attorneys in the past...once the case is over, his office is done with you. Not at Mr. Cline's. I have called many times with questions since, regarding my court orders, and ALWAYS, Trisha is there to guide and advise me. I cannot say enough and I cannot THANK YOU enough Mr. Cline, Trisha and your entire team !!
Mr. Cline was an excellent lawyer, he helped me in my legal mater and got me through it with the best possible outcome. If I ever need a lawyer or any legal service again I will not hesitate to talk to Mr. Cline.
Steve's experience, relationships with prosecutors, and diligence set him apart from other defense attorneys. He provides his clients with the peace of mind that he will achieve the best possible outcome under the circumstances. Moreover, he is sympathetic, understanding, and never patronizing. Steve knows that a client's lone bad decision can be life altering and he takes utmost care in preserving that client's dignity. If you are looking for or recommending a defense attorney, Steve Cline needs to be on that short list.
Steve Cline has provided me with outstanding service and professionalism. Additionally he has, voluntarily represented a younger member of my family at his own suggestion even though the charges were very small and not something you would expect him to deal with. Once Mr. Cline represents you, then you and your family become his concern for all legal matters . Steve truly cares about his clients.
I have known Stephen Cline for more than 15 years. He has represented both me and my businesses on several occasions and a variety of matters. As the owner of several business entities in different industries, I am faced with a regular stream of legal demands or needs. Steve has handled it all- from extremely complex litigation to nuisance complaints. He is an aggressive, straight forward and honest attorney. I would highly recommend him to friends, family or colleagues.
I recently was charged with a crime, a felony, but because of prop 47, it became a misdemeanor, HOWEVER, perhaps not for me. To make matters worse, I picked up a SECOND case shortly after. I unfortunately have quite an extensive past, involving 2 state prison terms. Because of that, these misdemeanors could have very well been brought up to a felony, because of my past and I may have been facing another long prison term. I did not have much time to act, however I did not have the means for an attorney, and accepted the fact I would be getting a public defender. Without going into personal detail, I had A LOT more to lose than just my freedom, a mentally challenged brother who lives with me, as I take care of him. He ONLY has me. I had A LOT to lose. ONE DAY before my initial court date, I had the means to hire a private attorney. One day. I googled, "TOP CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEYS IN SAN DIEGO", and MR. STEPHEN CLINE'S name came up, top on the page. I called his office. My call was answered by TRISHA PHILLIPS, Mr. Cline's office manager and assistant. Trisha listened patiently to my panicked story, was extremely professional and sympathetic towards me. I hired Mr. Cline OVER the phone with Trisha, and drove to his office to settle arrangements with her. In one hour, I had an attorney, without ever meeting Mr. Cline at that point, I somehow KNEW, I was in THE BEST of hands. Mr. Cline appeared in court for me the following morning. I received a call from Trisha afterwards relaying the outcome of the day. Because of the severity, not the charge thus far, but the severity of my PAST, Mr. Cline was completely up front with me of the possibilities I faced and his course of action he planned to take so I would receive the best possible outcome. Anyone going through a court case knows, your attorney can never guarantee you anything, but what he can tell you, is what he plans to do for you. This is the moment, you will KNOW, if you hired a great attorney, if he or she is planning to FIGHT for you. Mr. Cline did this for me. I KNEW, I could not have hired ANYONE better. I knew he was going to fight for me. He had legal aids work closely with me, gathering details that Mr. Cline requested, and he continued going to court, on my behalf, all through the court proceedings, and then I would be informed of each outcome.
