Mr. Steenson is a very knowledgeable Attorney. He is fair with his prices and he is straight forward when explaining the legal system and possible outcomes. Since day 1 he prepared us for what is to come and continues to be available when needed.

I had Mr. Steeson in 2014 and he did a great job on my case. I was looking at 1-3 years I sat in jail for 5 months and when I went to court all charges were dropped. He was very firm with the case, he always kept me updated with everything when I called him. He fought for me til the bitter end and I couldn’t think him enough! Definitely a great man he fights for his clients! I would recommend anybody to go to him. Thank you so much for everything Mr. Steenson I truly appreciate you and everything you done for me!

I can not put into words how good this man is as my lawyer he makes me feel like we are friends truly an honor to know this man great work Derek and thanks again ❗️

There is not enough space on this review page to say all the good that I would like to say about this Attorney. He is absolutely outstanding. I contacted him through a referral from another attorney for what I believed to be a VOP for my son. I called him on a Saturday morning & received a return call by 2:00 that afternoon. After speaking with him on his free time, I hired him. As it turned out, my son needed representation for more than a VOP, he needed to have his probation term in Phila. modified due to outstanding charges that he will be sentenced for in New Jersey. After hearing this attorney's price to represent my son, I will admit I was somewhat skeptical. The reason for that was because the fee he quoted was so fair, it was unbelievable. I am a legal secretary in NJ & if I presented my son's case to an attorney in my area, I would have been charged at least 5 times more than what this attorney charged. Nonetheless, I moved forward with him representing my son & believe me when I tell you this, I couldn't have hired a better attorney. My son was extradited to Philly from New Jersey & after appearing in the Philly Court before one of the toughest Judges, Mr. Steenson was successful in having the probation not modified but completely dismissed with no additional fines and/or court costs. Throughout this entire ordeal, Mr. Steenson was a respectful, professional & caring attorney. He is an excellent criminal defense attorney who answered my millions of panicked calls, emails, texts & any other communication I hit him with within a satisfactory amount of time if not immediately. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field & more than reasonable with his fees. I highly recommend him.

From the day I turned my self in he explained everything correctly to me on how everything was going to go . He knew my bail and knew what judge I was seeing on camera . Also my wife called him at 3 am and he answer and gave her a quick response . After I made bail, we sat down and review my case he was very understanding and confident about winning . At the Preliminary hearing he did a excellent job cross examining the plaintif and got the case thrown out immediately. Overall he is an excellent lawyer and I highly recommend him if you want the job done right.

He was amazing. He handled my case and explained everything that would take place. Very professional and takes pride in what he does.

We are completely satisfied with the way Mr. Steenson handled our VOP case. Mr. Steenson is knowledgeable about how the system works, professional and very responsive. We were pleasantly surprised by how responsive he was to our many calls and texts. We could not have asked for a better outcome.

He took time to listen to my issues and understood my problems. He explained my rights and made it understandable. All around nice guy and great Lawyer.

He currently defends my younger brother. He actively keeps everyone informed about what is happening and what is next. He really seems to care about what happens to my brother as opposed to some others that couldn't care less either eay as long as the money comes. In November we hopefully start the trial and can move forward. Really just a great lawyer!

Don't let the fact that he is a new graduate deter you from giving him a call before you consider all the high priced big names out there. I met Derek two years ago on a professional level at my job, through conversation I soon found out he is a defense attorney, long story short, my boyfriend needed an attorney and I immediately thought of Derek. He has been there in ways that go far beyond our defense attorney and is always there answering questions and keeping me informed. His rates are better than fair and he understands that most people these days are struggling and can't come up with thousands of dollars to hire a "GOOD" attorney. He doesn't sugar coat or tell you what you want to hear, he gives it to you straight and in a timely manner. He works with you to make sure you are informed and represented by someone who cares and knows what he's doing. I have called him on other matters that had nothing to do with his specialty and he always knows what to do or who you should talk to, I couldn't imagine calling anyone else for any of my legal needs. Derek may not have 20 years under his belt but he knows what he's doing and works hard to get the job done.
