In my opinion, Mr. Griffin is a wonderful lawyer.. He has been my attorney for years probably too many years. He’s probably sick of seeing me in the courtroom. He is very knowledgeable about the law. He has fought for me. He’s given me reality of the situation. Sometimes I feel like he works magic. There were many times that I thought that it wouldn’t come out in my favor and having Mr. Griffin as my lawyer things did come out my favorite. He is very compassionate. He has let me know in my family know what is going on in my cases. I gave Steve a thumbs up across the board. I would recommend him to anybody.!

Steve was very informative to me family and I, and took on more than one case in more than one county. The outcome was very satisfactory and expected. I'm going to hire him again if needed for sure. Thanks Steve

Neither he nor his secretary return calls. I left many messages, and never got to discuss my fiance's case other than in the court room, at the last minute. Mr. Griffin "promised" my loved one would be home in 10-12 months, and we are going into our second year of his prison sentence. In my opinion, Mr. Griffin is not "out there" for his clients. He tells clients what they want to hear, then sweeps them under the rug. Good example of why lawyers have a bad reputation.

Mr. Griffin does not return any calls or emails. He does not prepare for any court appearances. Always says to call and set up an appointment but never returns the calls. He is negligent in explaining items as agreed upon. I would not suggest anyone use him. I have advised people whom I know to steer clear. Not worth the anxiety and stress.
