After calling Barr while looking for a short consultation and being declined due to a lack of availability, Steven called me out of the blue to chat, for no cost. Although I’d been told that a DUI was pointless to hire representation for, After a short discussion, i recognized the need to have steven on my side. He helped me immensely with every restriction or payment, for a price that came nowhere near the amount he saved me.

I had an aggressive driver following me, acting like they would side swipe me, getting in front of me and braking hard, etc. when I tried to speed away to avoid an accident, I was charged with reckless driving for speeding and illegal lane changes. The aggressive driver went so far as to pull in behind the officer and lie that I had caused an accident and that they had been tailing me to get a license #. This angered the sheriff's deputy further, who then wrote up the situation to look as though I had possibly caused an accident, hit and run, and then further inferred that I had taken a long time "to catch up to" as if I was avoiding being pulled over or trying to get away from the police. Steve gave me the benefit of his substantial experience on both sides, prosecutorial and defense, and let me know the worst case/highly unlikely outcome, the likeliest worst outcome, the likeliest best outcome, and how to work toward the best possible outcome. I felt less unease immediately and more empowered. I had to do work to assist Steve and he was open to my ideas, such as providing GPS to show there was no merit to the aggressive driver's hit and run story, etc. I completed the tasks that Steve asked of me and the result was a deal with the prosecutor for a lesser charge and a fine. I felt confident that had I proceeded to jury trial that my odds would have been favorable with Mr. Minert as my attorney, but I didn't want to incur further expense or take further time to resolve a stressful situation. Steve definitely is an honest and skilled attorney. He is ethical, honest, affordable, well connected, and knows how to leverage the truth in your favor. Minert Law doesn't pawn your case off on a less experienced lawyer in a huge firm or take your well being lightly. Steven answered my questions promptly and even communicated with me on weekends more than once. I would absolutely recommend Minert law.

If Steve tells you he will do something he does it..he cares about and enjoys what he is doing..he is who people in trouble with the law can count on.

Steve had my best interest in mind. He was very professional and understanding. 10/10 Recommend. Steve was with me throughout the process of not one, but two cases. Both resolved with the best possible outcomes. Saying he is good at his job is an understatement. He goes above and beyond! Thank you Steve and your Team!

Steve was an immense help to me. He was informative, available and patient. I really appreciated his honesty and his willingness to walk me through every step of the legal process. I had never used a lawyer before but Steve was willing to answer all of my questions and gave me the confidence to know that I was in good hands throughout the process. Thanks to his help, I got the exact outcome I desired and I am so grateful for his dedication to my case.

Steve Minert helped me get out of a situation that could have seriously made a negative impact on my future. Price was reasonable (much cheaper when compared to other law groups), always responded to any question I had (Mon - Fri) via email or phone, and was very professional when it came down to business. I would recommend Steve 110% of the time for anyone dealing with serious traffic violations / for anyone who just needs the extra hand when it comes to anything traffic court related.

Steve was a joy to work with, he knew exactly how to handle my case and the outcome of my case exceeded all my expectations. I'd gladly use or recommend Steve for any future need.

He is a very understanding attorney. Steven Minert had my case dismissed which had hung over my shoulders for over 20 years.

Very helpful with getting my past cases dismissed. Thorough and well thought out approach. I could tell he genuinely cared about helping me to clear my past misdeeds so I could move forward with my career. Great communication and accessibility. Highly recommend!

I heartily recommend Steve Minert if you need a criminal defense attorney. I needed a lawyer with experience in dealing with my type of case at a reasonable price. I am glad I chose Steve Minert. At the free consultation, Steve showed himself to be not only knowledgeable, but an expert at explaining the laws and court process without being condescending. Once I began working with Steve, my stress levels dropped significantly. Thanks to his expertise and positive working relationship with the Boise prosecutor, I had a good outcome to my case.
