The Law Offices of Steven C. Sessa

I retained this attorney during a very difficult period when I was facing serious criminal allegations. His legal guidance and experience were a tremendous asset from day one. He was steady, strategic, and clearly well versed in the criminal justice system. He took the time to explain the process, outline realistic expectations, and make sure every decision was deliberate and informed. His courtroom presence and negotiation skills gave me confidence that I had the right advocate in my corner. If you are dealing with a serious legal matter and need someone competent, composed, and highly knowledgeable, I would strongly recommend Steven Sessa.

On March 31st 2014, I got arrested and was charge with Aggravated Assault with a deadly weapon and Firing a a firearm within a moving vehicle. At that time my family and I were in dire need of a good but affordable attorney; and Steven Sessa was whom my family and I chose to represent our legal matters. Steve tells you exactly how it is and what you should and need to know. No sugarcoating. Once hired, he proceeded to work on the case ASAP and always trying his best get the case to drop. He truly cares about his clients. The first deal the state offered me was a 3 years prison or we could go to trial, but if we lose face 20 years in prision, we rejected the plea. After many motions, depositions of the witness, victim, and the arresting officer to prove to the state that they can't prove their charges the state still refused to drop the case and didn't want to corporate with us with a lesser deal or a case dismissal. Steve kept working as hard as he could do resolve the case which would be in our favor. Many motions were filed just so that the state would be able to prove the charges and they couldn't. Steve would always show up to court with me and ready to fight and represent for me. A year and a few months after rejecting many plea deals in order to solve the case, Steve was able to get the state to only charge me with "Discharging a firearm in public" which is a 1st degree misdemeanor. The reason he couldn't get the whole case to drop was due to my confession to the police officers I made during my arrest which I confessed that I did discharge the weapon but there was never any act of aggravated assault occurred nor any crimes being committed, but the state believed otherwise. Also, Steve was willing to work with me and my family in regards to payment and not once stopped working on the case because he didn't get paid. Even when we owed him, he continued to defend my case. Steve really knows his stuff and very knowledgeable in what he does. Finally, I was charge with a misdemeanor and not felonies. I didn't have to do any probation, prison, jail time or pay a fine. I just had to pay standard court cost. So, On April 24th of 2015 I walked out the court house and everything was over with. As a result, my family and I shall forever thank Steve and his team for helping me get through this without any jail, prison or probation. I certainly will never forget what he has done for me and i my family. I would recommend Steve to anyone or family members and friends of mine.

I would not recommend Mr. Sessa to anyone. I was very disappointed in his representation for me. He appeared to be nice, a tough forward spoken guy until he received full payment then I got treated as if he was doing me a favor. I feel that if i would have kept the public defender I would have gotten the same thing in which I am out 10,000.00. I had no priors and had never had trouble with the law. I am very very disappointed in him and how I was so misled.

Steven Sessa is an astonishingly incompetent and unprofessional lawyer.{para}I paid Mr. Sessa $10,000, and this is what I got:
1) My charge was RAISED to a higher level offence.
2) I was THREATENED by Mr. Sessa when discussing an arrest warrant that he was unaware of
3) He missed a court hearing that I had. Another lawyer stepped in, and defended me in good faith.{para}Please, for your own interest, do NOT hire Steven Sessa.

HE's just after your money, don't trust him, don't ever trust anything he says
