“Steven was very helpful, thorough, and knowledgeable throughout the process, offering me strong remedial steps to mitigate the severity of my ticket. He answered additional questions that I had before my court date, explained how the trial would proceed, and articulately represented me, resulting in a successful outcome. He is priced similarly to other lawyers in the area for representing speeding violations, but provides excellent services and support. It is clear that he really cares about the outcome and strongly advocated for me. I therefore strongly recommend Steven and his DDL team.” – Client Review
