Hired Attorney

In Henrico County in 2019, I was court-appointed Mr. Mutnick for five compounded felony charges. I can’t speculate whether things could’ve gone better than they did, but he was able to use my successful CCP results and everything I was able to do pretrial to gain favor with the prosecutors. He constantly portrayed me as a good young man with a serious drug problem who would be better served with outpatient treatment over felony convictions and long term incarceration. It helps that I am nonviolent, verifiably intelligent, and dress appropriately for court, but Mr. Mutnick was the lynchpin to turn five felony charges into two misdemeanors. As a result, I successfully avoided a felony conviction on my record, and have now reentered college to pursue my undergrad degree with a focus on defense law/advocacy. Stephen Mutnick is a 10/10 lawyer, who is probably even more impressive as a paid attorney. Probably saved my future as a court-appointed attorney. You won’t hear that often.

Hired Attorney

Great service and very responsive. I am from out of state and incurred a traffic violation while traveling through VA. Updates and communication throughout the process were therefore, very important to me. I am pleased with the results and would highly recommend his service and counsel to others.

I really appreciate all of Mr. Mutnick's assistance and representation. He made the whole experience very easy and handled all of the difficult negotiations. I don't believe I would have had the same results if Steve did not represent me in this case. Thank you.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
