To make a VERY long story short, I hired a well known Ocean Country defense law firm who's modo was that the whole firm was behind me. Again they were supposedly the best in Ocean County. They're website looked like they could represent OJ Simpson, it was so professional even a bit intimidating, at the time I new I needed the best so I hired them. The attorney who was assigned to me, wanted me to plead guilty to a petty shoplifting charge on the very first appearance and this was also my first criminal offense. That law firm charged me a large fee so there was no way I was simply pleading guilty, otherwise what did I even hire them for? I fired that lawyer on spot in front of the judge, and the court granted me another month to find a new lawyer. Thankfully I found Steve who helped me get this charge dropped to a non-criminal ordinance which was what I needed to continue as a nursing student. When I initially called Steve I was in panic, he told me to relax and we would figure this out and that's exactly what he did. I would recommend Steve to anyone seeking legal representation. I will be calling Steve again soon to help me with a record expungement. PS. Steves fee is fair and he will help you with arrangements if needed.

I hired Mr McGuckin for my superior court case he was very helpful always available very polite and understanding. He kept me informed at all times and was always upfront and honest about what i could do to help the case. He won my case that i didnt think anyone could win but he did it!!! Definitely hire mr McGuckin i would use him again if i ever needed too !!!!

Mr. McGuckin went above and beyond for me the entire time I needed him. I would recommend him to anyone. No complaints at all.

Stephen set out to get my case dismissed which was achieved without any issues. I contact three attorneys prior and his pricing was fair and not inflated like the others. Overall would highly recommend.

I can't express enough how grateful I am that I hired Mr. McGuckin for my cases. I had 3 cases, all marijuana related which included charges for possession, paraphernalia and a DUI. At first the plan was to try and wait it out because there was a lot of talk about New Jersey legalizing recreational marijuana. Well that plan fell through so the next best thing to do was apply for consolidation. He was able to consolidate 3 separate cases from 2 different counties into 1 which is incredible. I used my conditional discharge for all the marijuana offenses, and was able to get my DUI dropped. I repeat, Mr. McGuckin was able to get my DUI completely dismissed! He truly went above and beyond. Very pleased to have been in business with him. I will certainly hire him again in the future because I know for a fact that I'll get the best possible outcome.

I had been charged with 2nd degree eluding which if found guilty carried a jail sentence. I had also had a separate possession of marijuana case but with the help of Mr mcguckin we were able to get the marijuana case dismissed and the eluding charge dropped to 3rd degree with no jail time. Throughout this tough time Mr mcguckin has been more helpful then I could’ve m imagine by working with me on payments, keeping in touch and informed while advising me in the best way possible. I would recommend anyone that need an attorney to definitely give him a call no matter the case and see what he can do for your case.

I truly wish I met Stephen on better term but truly was a blessing when I did. Was facing a second dwi offense and was scared for my life. Stephen showed me so much compassion and sympathy and never looked down at me. After discussing what exactly happened on my fist offense Stephen felt the grief that I had and felt like I was given a raw deal. With great determination knowledge he promised me it would not happen again and that he would make sure that every stone was turned with this new case. Being me I thought that I was just being lied to but Stephen sure did make sure he did and deliver the greatest outcome I could of imagine. He got my case dismissed and was given the minimal charge. I am truly grateful and would hire Stephen 1,000,000 times over and over. I can promise that I would recommend him to anyone he truly a gift.

My 12 year old autistic son was charged with serious offenses during non custodial parent visitation. These charges could have been avoided if my son’s condition was shared during an encounter with the police. Negligence and irresponsible behavior on the other parent side created situation that required my son to be represented by a criminal defense attorney. I accidentally found Steve online, and after speaking with several attorneys, he seemed the most sincere and upfront. He shared his cell phone number and followed up with me before I paid him anything to make sure I had no additional questions. That level of responsiveness is rare these days and I retained Steve to represent my child. Steve exceptionally presented evidence, relevant documentation, and was able to dismiss criminal charges against my kid. He is very knowledgeable and understands the system well. I am hoping I never have to go through this again, but if I do, I will be sure to retain Steve. Highly recommend and appreciate his services!

Steve was very professional and i was extremely satisfied by the outcome.

Steve was transparent, easy to work with. Got my case dismissed! Fair pricing. I urge you to hire him. He’s worth every penny!

Stephen McGuckin has represented me in three court cases. Stephen is very professional with his career and will go above and behond for his clients. He is very straight foward and helpful thru the whole process from beginning to end. Stephen will continue to be my representative in the court of law in any other future case.

Stephen Mcguckin is a great attorney. He is sincere, hardworking, always available and doesn't settle. He works hard for the best outcome. I am completely satisfied with the work he's done for myself and another family member. We couldn't be more satisfied. Anyone who does not hire Stephen would be making a huge mistake.
