To cut it short, I was arrested for DUI. Called Steven on a Sunday and immediately agreed to meet up with me although he was with his family on the beach. He took time off from being with his family and met me at his offices. He was very professional and super kind. He assured me to not worry and provided me with my options as well as suggestions. He was very understanding for my financial situation and worked out with me. Long story short, the case was dropped. Keep in mind that it didn't took him long. Add to this that I was so annoying calling and texting him every day and he never let me down. He answered my calls and responded to my email. If anyone got in any sort of trouble god forbid, Steven is the man to help you and definitely defend you.

After being arrested for BUI, I found Steven Bell while searching for legal help online. There are plenty of lawyers that advertise there, but after reading a multitude of reviews, I found Steven stood out. His education and experience seemed solid and there were plenty of positive reviews. He was my first and last call. He showed great knowledge of the law as well as confidently laying out a game plan. He was honest and straight forward about every aspect of the case. Steven and his Staff were always available for questions and kept me informed of the status. He settled my case quickly and professionally at a fair price. I highly recommend Steven to those of you looking. He is exactly as advertised.

Steven Bell at Meltzer & Bell in West Palm Beach is an Attorney that I would recommend highly to anyone looking for the best representation! I was highly impressed by his timely response to every call, e-mail and text and his conduct in court! Most importantly, very pleased (and I mean, VERY!!) with the outcome of my case, which I am quite certain would not have happened had I hired any other attorney other than Steven Bell. His partner, Ari, was equally as important in my case and I am so grateful for all the hard work that they put into my case. This firm treats each client’s case as if it is the most important case they are handling, which is rare these days. Can’t recommend Steven Bell enough. Anyone in South Florida (whether it is West Palm Beach, Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Miami or anyplace in between) should trust Steven Bell to handle their case with full professionalism and excellent care! I’m so glad I hired him!

I hired Steven Bell to represent my son who got arrested for a DUI. My experience with him was the best yet with any attorney that I ever dealt with. It was a Sunday when I called him and he immediately responded quickly. After the thousand questions I asked him he was very patient with me and gave me step by step what to expect. Not only was he incredible his staff was always there to help guide me in any issue we had. The case was settled in a timely matter with amazing results. No criminal conviction and DUI was dismissed. I highly recommend Steven, he is a knowledgeable attorney who will gets the job done.

Steven Bell is much more than a life saver. I came to him with quite a complex case. One major misdemeanor and a major felony that I was looking at a 5 year prison term for. Once retained and hired, I've felt the comfort of having the greatest attorney as my counsel. He was with my every step of the way. Steven was able to get me a deal I never thought would be an option. One year house arrest and two years probation INSTEAD OF 5 YEARS IN PRISON. Steven was also obliged to a payment plan with me as I was in a tough spot financially. Never once did he demand money from me and he was also very understanding if I needed to miss a payment or have it lowered because of my financial situation. I took my Plea Jan 22 2019 and to this day, I am in close contact with Steven about my case. I am in the danger zone of getting a probation violation for not completing the required counseling in the time frame I had from my DUI but Steven has wasted no time and is taking care of this matter for me. No matter how big or little the problem may be, Steven quickly pursues what he needs to for his clients. I have zero stress about my legal situation with Mr.Bell by my side. Whether it be 1am or mid afternoon, I know Steven is there to help me in the upmost professional and diligent way possible. He is always a phone call and text away for me. I have zero stress in regards to my legal situation because I know I am being represented by the best. I highly recommend Steven at Meltzer & Bell, P.A. I am highly disturbed to read the slander that Michelle has written. It completely flabbergasts me that someone would write something so distorted about an immaculately brilliant, caring, understanding, diligent and DAMN AMAZING attorney such as Steven. If I ever found myself in the back of a police car again, Steven would be my first phone call. I cannot recommend him enough!

After being charged with multiple felony drug offenses (one month apart from each other) I received a call from the public defenders office alerting me that the state was trying to revoke my bond. After that call, I knew I needed private counsel, and I knew they had to be the best. When I called Steve’s office initially to say I was lost, and scared would be an understatement. Mr. Bell met with me that same day. He calmed me down, and assured me that he would do everything he could to resolve my cases as quickly, and “painlessly” as possible. He kept his word. Steve kept me informed and updated. He also checked in with me to make sure I was upholding my end of the bargain, and completing any tasks that I had to do on my own that were necessary to strengthen my case. Long story short, Mr. Bell not only kept me out of jail, but had BOTH of my cases completely resolved within two weeks of me retaining him as counsel. Furthermore, the out come was only probation, with adjudications WITHHELD. Steve is a kind man, with the patience of a saint. He responded to me almost instantly, no matter how small or silly I thought my question to be. Steve made me feel human, not like a criminal. I have the upmost gratitude to Mr. Bell, Matt, and the rest of his office for all of their help. If you’re looking for strong counsel that truly cares, look no further.

My 19 yr old son was arrested around midnight on felony drug charge. I was in a panic and had no idea what to do. I stumbled upon Steven's number online. Steven called me back within minutes and took everything from there. My son was out on bail by 4 am. We met with Steven that very morning and he walked me through the process and completely took control. Steven was able to get a VERY SERIOUS felony drug charge down filed and then COMPLETELY DISMISSED. My son's future could have been ruined by a dumb mistake at the age of 19 but thanks to Steven Bell he has another chance. If you or anyone you know are charged with a drug crime, call Steven Bell immediately. I can't thank him enough for what he was able to do for my family. He was so responsive thru the entire process and answered all my crazy panicky mom questions. And put both my son and I at ease thru the entire process.

A collegue recommended Steven Bell for my situation. I did some research on the web browsing thru different attorneys websites along with Steven Bell's. My first reaction in comparing the content of these sites drew me to Steven. First of all his site gave real client info and what happened in the case, and the others seemed to just give case law and what the consequences are. Obviously there are consequences to every action, but when searching for a lawyer, it made me feel more secure and comfortable knowing how he helped his clients, and how everyone's situation is different. I sent hin an email at 2 am and Mr. Bell responded the very next morning with a text and phone call to discuss my case. I also was able to meet with him at his office later that day. He and his office staff were very helpful and supportive. After sitting down and discussing my case with Mr. Bell, I felt completely comfortable with hiring him right away. He was very blunt with me about my circumstances, he explained he practices with integrity and will do whatever he can to help me get over this hurdle in my life. The office staff was nothing but helpful and coordinated everything for me as far as scheduling my dui classes and assessment. Steven and his office are very supportive and outstanding client/customer service. I would definitely recommend Mr. Steven Bell and his office to anyone facing similar situations.

Whether it be 1am or mid afternoon, I know Steven is there to help me in the upmost professional and diligent way possible. He is always a phone call and text away for me. I have zero stress in regards to my legal situation because I know I am being represented by the best. I highly recommend Steven at Meltzer & Bell, P.A. I am highly disturbed to read the slander that Michelle has written. It completely flabbergasts me that someone would write something so distorted about an immaculately brilliant, caring, understanding, diligent and DAMN AMAZING attorney such as Steven. If I ever found myself in the back of a police car again, Steven would be my first phone call. I cannot recommend him enough!

I recently ran into some issues and needed legal advice. After scouring the internet looking for reputable attorneys, I came across Steven Bell. I left a message and he called me back right away and advised me on what to do next. If you want the best lawyer in Palm Beach then call him immediately! Thank you again Stephen!

After being charged with multiple felony drug offenses (one month apart from each other) I received a call from the public defenders office alerting me that the state was trying to revoke my bond. After that call, I knew I needed private counsel, and I knew they had to be the best. When I called Steve’s office initially to say I was lost, and scared would be an understatement. Mr. Bell met with me that same day. He calmed me down, and assured me that he would do everything he could to resolve my cases as quickly, and “painlessly” as possible. He kept his word. Steve kept me informed and updated. He also checked in with me to make sure I was upholding my end of the bargain, and completing any tasks that I had to do on my own that were necessary to strengthen my case. Long story short, Mr. Bell not only kept me out of jail, but had BOTH of my cases completely resolved within two weeks of me retaining him as counsel. Furthermore, the out come was only probation, with adjudications WITHHELD. Steve is a kind man, with the patience of a saint. He responded to me almost instantly, no matter how small or silly I thought my question to be. Steve made me feel human, not like a criminal. I have the upmost gratitude to Mr. Bell, Matt, and the rest of his office for all of their help. If you’re looking for strong counsel that truly cares, look no further.

My 19 yr old son was arrested around midnight on felony drug charge. I was in a panic and had no idea what to do. I stumbled upon Steven's number online. Steven called me back within minutes and took everything from there. My son was out on bail by 4 am. We met with Steven that very morning and he walked me through the process and completely took control. Steven was able to get a VERY SERIOUS felony drug charge down filed and then COMPLETELY DISMISSED. My son's future could have been ruined by a dumb mistake at the age of 19 but thanks to Steven Bell he has another chance. If you or anyone you know are charged with a drug crime, call Steven Bell immediately. I can't thank him enough for what he was able to do for my family. He was so responsive thru the entire process and answered all my crazy panicky mom questions. And put both my son and I at ease thru the entire process.

A collegue recommended Steven Bell for my situation. I did some research on the web browsing thru different attorneys websites along with Steven Bell's. My first reaction in comparing the content of these sites drew me to Steven. First of all his site gave real client info and what happened in the case, and the others seemed to just give case law and what the consequences are. Obviously there are consequences to every action, but when searching for a lawyer, it made me feel more secure and comfortable knowing how he helped his clients, and how everyone's situation is different. I sent hin an email at 2 am and Mr. Bell responded the very next morning with a text and phone call to discuss my case. I also was able to meet with him at his office later that day. He and his office staff were very helpful and supportive. After sitting down and discussing my case with Mr. Bell, I felt completely comfortable with hiring him right away. He was very blunt with me about my circumstances, he explained he practices with integrity and will do whatever he can to help me get over this hurdle in my life. The office staff was nothing but helpful and coordinated everything for me as far as scheduling my dui classes and assessment. Steven and his office are very supportive and outstanding client/customer service. I would definitely recommend Mr. Steven Bell and his office to anyone facing similar situations.

Steve represented me in a traffic citation. He was quick to respond, communicated well, and got my citation dismissed. I am a fellow lawyer and would 100% recommend Steve and his firm.
