About

I have been practicing criminal law for over 10 years, with a concentration on sex crimes, DWI, and drug posession and trafficking. I have had great success at both the trial and appellate level in criminal cases, and have also successfully represented individuals in cases or police brutality and wrongful death at the hands of police.

3 days before trial and Steve Wright won the case !!! He studied this case and worked 23 hours a day. He found so many flaws that would benefit me and he really did an amazing job in trial !! He saved my husband from life in prison when prior attorneys were telling him he would have to do time!!! Steve was heaven sent ! Steve Wright lo contratamos 3 dias antes del juicio y ganamos el cazo!! Estudio el cazo las 23 horas al dia y nos represento buenisimo ! Ganamoz el cazo y salbo a mi espozo de vida en la calcer!!!!!

Steve Wright made the process of removing a crime that I was charged with from my record absolutely easy. After a long summer of having this situation hanging over my head I can finally have a peace of mind thanks to Wright. I am so thankful and grateful that I chose the right attorney to defend my case. Thanks!

Some crimes are petty but with one bad decision in the right circumstances petty crimes will keep you from getting a good job. After my crime I didn't know who to turn to. I was someone who had never been in trouble. Steve was the first attorney I talked to and after speaking with other lawyers in the area, I knew he was the right choice. He was extremely knowledgeable and out to help me get out of trouble and not bill me beyond reason. He had great connections and was a very good guy. He was straight forward and honest about options and was able to get me out of trouble so I could move on in the other major areas of my life without worry. He's wonderful!

I hadnot ever been in trouble. When I was arrested all I could do is cry. I called Mr. Wright the next day which was a Sunday, and left him a message. He called me back two hours later and I had an appointment that afternoon. He explained exactly what was going to happen and how he would get me off. He walked me to court and sat with me. Everything went just as he said. After the third court date my case was dismissed. Call Mr. Wright if you are in trouble. He is great.

My wife and I laughed out loud when Steven introduced himself to the officer accusing me of larceny and trespass in court. THey had told me that I was on my "FINAL" date and was going to have a trial with my court appointed lawyer. WHen steven walked in with me the cop went straight over to the DA and then the DA told the judge that they were not ready for trial. My final court appearance turned into another contiuance. Having this lawyer made me feel so very safe and confident. ANd we all had a laugh at the cops reaction!!!

Thank you , Steve. You told me the first day you would "take care of me", and you did. I am home with my kids tonight after other lawyers said that was nearly impossible. You are a great lawyer and friend.

Was falsely accused, and could've ended up in prison for a long time. He worked with me, the investigator, and the DA so that it never went to court. Great guy that is knowledgeable and really fights for you.
