This was a horrible experience. I gave Steven Sherlag's office a substantial retainer. A month or so passed just to be told there was nothing he could do to assist. When I requested a refund so I could hire someone to assist me I got nothing! Beware of giving him any money until he actually does something!

I've never had an attorney that i felt was working for the other party. He didn't do anything i asked except talk me out of what i wanted. Our conversations were long , repettitve and some personal experiences of his. i wanted 1 thing done whether i won or lost and it never happened. My experience felt like he was working for her.

Steve is a superb criminal defense attorney and among the best trial lawyers anywhere. He is a person of high character who can always be depended on when things get difficult. Anyone facing criminal charges must be able to trust their advocate and Steve is an advocate you can trust.

Steve Sherlag is a very known, intelligent, respectable, honest person as well as an attorney I often refer Steve to others, because I know if I can trust him, I trust him to deal with my close family and friend's issues. He has helped me out on numerous occasions and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcomes!

Steven is a true professional. His team was always available any time I had questions on my case. He never set any unrealistic goals for resolutions. I always felt like he had my best interests in mind with everything that he did. He is honest and fair which isn't always two words people associate with lawyers.

I endorse Mr. Sherlag's work without reservation. He combines a lighthearted and easy way with people and a personal work ethic that is strong and serious. Mr. Sherlag is fearless when it comes to fighting for his clients' rights. He is both knowledgeable, and always seeking new way to stand up for his clients. If I had a close family member who needed a criminal defense lawyer, Mr. Sherlag would be the one I'd call.
