He is the best!!! Me and my Husband set on the computer everyday for hours looking up criminal defense lawyers we came across Stephen Govin and we both was like he is the one! My husband has been to the penitentiary several times on the same offense so we was nervous about just hiring anybody we needed the best!!! And we are not from Wisconsin so it was much harder, Govin was able to negotiate probation which is an extremely good job after being to the penetrntury 4 times!!! The judge was even shocked but Stephen Govin knew everything he was talking about!!! He was always on time always explainined everything so well and never sugar coated anything! Thank you so so much Stephen Govin my family appreciates you!!

Being just shy of 30 and living as an introvert; I was inexperienced with any serious run-ins with the law until I was!- Such is life. Research and perfect ratings led me to Stephen Govin LLC. Did I say perfect ratings? (Not only on google reviews)

Stephen accommodates, keeps it real with you, and will truly fight for you every step of the way. You seriously *feel* that when you are in his presence. I'm an emphatic person; I felt no arrogance from him, just powerful intelligence and kind authenticity. He was even modest when I told him about his perfect ratings (He had no idea). He works independently in this big quiet beautiful building along the river in the 3rd ward.

I hired Stephen IMMEDIATELY after our initial meeting. Didn't even go home to think about it. This was the same week I was made aware of the investigation. I hired Stephen for pre-charge representation. It was about $1500 which also covers the first hearing if the detective decides to charge you.

Stephen took over and made all contact with the detective and gave me his perspective along the way. If you're like I was 2 years ago, I understand - Legal troubles are TERRIFYING. I felt genuinely in the right hands. Even if you are anxious and nervous of the outcome; once you hire Stephen you'll feel it is the best you could have done.

The investigation was drawn out for almost a YEAR. Yes. A *year* of uncertainty. Stephen reached out to me multiple times during the limbo period via email as he knew I preferred. Stephen assured me it was best to stay quiet and not rush the station into filing charges.

AND...I received the best outcome! No charges filed against me! :) Besides having little against me, I'd like to think hiring such a great lawyer during the early stages of the case persuaded the detectives to avoid court.

Such a terrible memory of my legal situation genuinely turned into a accomplished one knowing I made the right choice to hire Stephen. Stephen is who to go to if the law ever entangles our lives!

Stephen is an outstanding lawyer and a master strategist. This combined with being an impressive listener; he made me feel confident that he'd do his utmost to win in trial; and that he did!! His persuasiveness with the jurors throughout trial, combined with his attention to detail and preparation left opposing council spinning their wheels, while he educated them throughout the process on what a quality, qualified lawyer looked like. I was very impressed (which isn’t often in the world of attorneys), and I’d highly recommend him to all friends and family.

Steve is a great lawyer and really fights for you. Highly recommended!

Very good lawyer, helped me and my family out amazingly. Thanks for all your help Steve.

Stephen Govin is an outstanding lawyer, he helped me through every step of my case and got me the best possible outcome I could’ve gotten! If you’re in need of criminal defense he’s the only lawyer I’d recommend to hire.

When a close family member was struggling with serious charges we needed the very best criminal defense in Wisconsin. I figured who better than an attorney to tell me what attorney to hire. So, I reached out to a friend of mine who is also a very successful employment law attorney. I reached out to this friend because I trusted him. I asked him who he would hire if one of his loved ones were accused of a crime. Without hesitation he told me, "Stephen Govin is who I'd call if it were my family."
We hired Steve (Stephen) without hesitation and from the very first day he was on the case; what I mean by "on the case" is that he just dug right in and the anxiety and fear of the unknown future that had built up in our family soon began to be relieved. What stood out immediately was his sharp intelligence and profound understanding of the law mixed with a kind of sincere yet very serious empathy that is hard to explain. From the beginning it seemed as though he cared about helping our family member not only get the best possible defense but learning from this entire situation. Because he knows what he is doing and how the system works so well he was able to jump out ahead and begin negotiations and open dialogue with all involved parties. He was able to negotiate a plea deal before the first court date and that resulted in avoiding felony charges. He was able to accomplish all of this because he was prepared, sharp, and on point from the very beginning. He came to every hearing prepped and prepared so meticulously that the judge and prosecutor almost seemed amazed at his order and attention to every minor detail and complexity of the case. Like a pit bull he fought for us behind the scenes and yet in front of the court he was poised and professional. I cannot give thanks enough for his work and just for being who he is; a good person AND an excellent attorney.
In closing, if you or more importantly someone you love, finds themselves in a serious situation and you need serious representation - trust me - attorney Stephen Govin is the only choice in Wisconsin.

Attorney Govin did an excellent job on our case. He kept us informed, laid out the process for us and made sure that we understood everything. He fought hard for us. We highly recommend him.
