Pros
1
The lawyer is described as knowledgeable, experienced, and effective in handling even challenging cases
“Howard Stein embodies all of the favorable qualities one would associate with a lawyer. Not only was Howard articulate, perseverant, knowledgeable, cultured and professional, but he mentored me throughout the entire process, keeping me well informed of even the most minute of details.”
2
The lawyer is praised for his dedication, hard work, and willingness to go the extra mile for his clients
“He worked tirelessly preparing for it, and even shaved his beard off so he would look more presentable to the jury. What attorney does that?!”
3
The lawyer is described as caring, compassionate, and genuinely invested in his clients' wellbeing
“I tell everyone I meet that Mr. Stein is one of the most good-hearted, honest, and honorable men I've ever met, and I mean that.”

“I noticed that every time we entered court, the judges, prosecutors and other attorneys were always so happy and positive to see him, which I think is quite telling.”
Cons
1
Some reviewers had negative experiences with other lawyers at the firm, describing them as lacking empathy, not listening to client concerns, and being too friendly with the prosecution
“Unfortunately, I found that she lacked empathy and did not demonstrate strong customer relations skills to build trust. Throughout our interactions, she did not seem to listen to my concerns with a helpful or understanding attitude, which made the process more frustrating than it needed to be.”
2
A few reviewers had poor experiences with public defenders from the firm, describing them as incompetent, unprofessional, and too close to the prosecution
“By far the worst legal experience imaginable. If you are ever assigned them as a public defender do everything in your power to not have Mr. Lotskar or Deweirdt involved at any point and honestly I would ask for another law firm all together.”
