Here are recent reviews from Steven’s clients:
- “These guys are really good got all my charges dropped. I cannot thank Steven enough, saved my career. This dude knows his stuff and [gets] the job done. I would definitely recommend them for any driving infractions you may have.” – Jerel, Google Review
- “I came to court late, soaking wet, and terrified. Steven gave me a phone call saying he took care of everything. I had my reckless driving charge reduced to a speeding ticket. If it weren’t for the Driving Defense Law, who knows what could have happened. I am forever thankful for the professional service you guys provided and the comfort and security in knowing the right things to do to alleviate any issues.” –Kevin, Google Review
- “Steven is hands down the best. My daughter got a reckless driving ticket and then a speeding ticket just two weeks later (yeah… I know). Somehow, he got both dismissed. He also gave practical advice, take the driver improvement course, calibrate the vehicle, etc. We followed through, and it ended up saving us 28% on our insurance. Super professional, responsive, and genuinely helpful. If you need someone to help you (or your kid) out of a bind, Steven’s your guy.” –Chris, Google Review
