Simply the best experience - Jason is personable, professional and dedicated to getting the best result without being a high pressure jerk. I got the most I legally could have as a result of my accident suit and there was little to no stress or work for me. And my original attorney would have ended up costing me money instead. Highly recommended
I reside out of state so it was critical for me to work with someone who could work this case through without my being available in person at all after my initial appearance. He explained the case and all the potential outcomes by both severity and likelihood. Once we agreed on the approach, he verified all of the milestones and kept me informed of each future date. Correspondence was challenging, frequent and critical to this case. Looking over the history of the case, there was never more than 1-2 business days required over the mailing time involved and most was able to be done electronically. There were unique challenges as a result of working between two different states with differing laws and regulations but thanks to his awareness of this, all of the paperwork properly reflected the common milestones that needed to be reached in a way that was clear to everyone. The one significant issue that came up was due to an outside agency failing to file routine reports correctly which led to a Motion to Show Cause. I got a call from him about the pending motion 2 days before I had a copy in the mail. By that point I'd already gathered my copies of all of the relevant information and it was on its way. It allowed him to get the case successfully dismissed at that the same hearing instead of waiting for the original court date the following month. Ultimately, I always felt that I was well taken care of and, especially, that none of the myriad moving parts in the case were ever in danger of falling through the cracks or being missed. I hope that any future attorneys with whom I work will meet the same level of care and competence.
Jason took my case very deep into the judicial period of time in which the case was at. Even still managed to not only help me get the treatment I deserved but also stoping the state from taking advantage of the fact that I had a public defender.
Mr. Steen pointed out a legal issue, immediately filed a motion which led to my case being dismissed a week later, Mr. Steen was well versed in the law and the DA reviewed his motion and conceded the point. I needed quick action due to a potential employment opportunity and Mr. Steen was quick, concise and gave me quick relief.
He represented me in a case that shouldn’t have made it to the grand jury, but needless to say they did indict me at which time I was placed in custody, Mr. Steen let the district attorney hold me passed my 60 days and didn’t raise that as an issue, during my stay in jail he continued to reassure me that I had nothing to worry about it was a slam dunk case, there were several other guys in custody that had Mr. Steen which I let him know that I knew he had a lot of cases on his desk from the public defenders office and I wouldn’t bother him, he reassured me once again, this time by saying and I quote, “ya, there are a few of you, but out of all of my guys in there, your the one that better not be losing any sleep over this because you are going home.” Which confirmed my belief in him and the fact that the charges would get beat in motions and I wouldn’t see a trial as I had stated to Mr. Steen from the very beginning that I wouldn’t sign a plea agreement or a waiver for my 60 days fast and speedy trial. At 60 days I was still in custody and on my 61st day I was in court, but not for what I had thought. I assumed a release hearing for violating my 60 days, or even a motion hearing which would have sufficed, but no he had me there to plea bargain which he had no flipped the script and claimed that i would most definitely lose in trial and get sent to prison for at least 56 months, my best bet is to take the plea and get a suspended sentence. This isn’t a personal attack on Mr. Steen, just stating the FACTS as they happened. Thank you, Robin
Never calls back/ answers, always late, haven’t heard from him in over 2 years and now I still can’t get ahold of him. He told me he would call me when he heard back.
