"So far so good.. Just hired Mr. Govin for my first OWI. He was pretty straight forward and on point as far as communication goes. This situation still feels like a nightmare and I usually prefer and think that doing things myself will bestow the best outcome, however I’m wise enough to know at times, I need more power to ensure the best outcome, hopefully! I’ll update once this situation is completely behind me."

"This man works miracles and is nothing short of an absolute legend! Stephen worked through my case to take a situation that would have been detrimental to my future and was able to reduce it, through his knowledge and expertise in the field, into an opportunity for me to come out the other end and learn from my mistake instead of being buried by it. This man will work HARD for you, he will fight for you with unbelievable tenacity and tact, but most importantly he will do all of this while maintaining a calm, kind, respectful, and humble disposition towards you that is free of any personal judgement and only aims to get you the best possible outcome for your case. Trust this man with your life. I did and have never looked back on my decision.... only forward with a new outlook on life because of him."
