Cases
"Steve Levine is one of the best, if not the best of California's defense attorneys. He brings a hefty weight of experience and know-how to the courtroom and is able to carry the most difficult cases to successful completion with a level of professionalism and dedication unrivaled in today's legal world. If you are looking for a top notch lawyer to represent you in a legal matter, look no further."
-- James D.
"I am an entertainment lawyer, and refer ALL my criminal cases to Steve. Every client, bar none, has gotten a positive result, and each one has been impressed with Steve’s know-how, knowledge of the system and knowledge of the people in the system. And each client was doubly impressed with how accessible Steve was; how he returned all phone calls promptly, and took the time to answer all of their questions."
-- Martin S.
"I was charged with a gross vehicular manslaughter and was looking at 12 years in prison. My first lawyer never returned phone calls, and when I did see her in court, she gave me the run around. I found Steve through a referral, and was immediately impressed with his knowledge and compassion. He hired an accident reconstructionist, alcohol expert, and traffic expert, and through a series of negotiations, got my charge reduced, and I spent one year in prison. I am out now, and am eternally grateful to Steve."
-- Steve M.
