  Stephen Sercu represented me for a probation violation. He stood by my side for 15 months while I participated in a treatment court and successfully graduated. Mr. Sercu is a consummate professional who is extremely bright.

He fought hard to get me accepted into the court and had my back during a couple early bumps in the road. He did not overcharge me despite the case having a duration of 15 months. I would recommend meeting with him to anybody in trouble. He knows his way around the Monroe County Court system.

Thank you Mr. Sercu

  Steve is an amazing lawyer. He has helped me numerous times taking care of my tickets and other law needs. He recently took care of my speeding ticket and got it dismissed. He saved me from getting points on my license. Steve went above and beyond to get the situation resolved for me. I’m referring him to all my friends and family!

  Everyone loves Steve. He sounds great. I was quoted $450 for a consultation and 7.5-12k for retainer I believe? Just FYI. Not suitable for my situation but… If they did those who have a left a 5 star review Justice then that’s only why they get 5 from me.

  The knowledge, the diligence  and commitment to my legal issues was impressive. The firm is personable, professional, and efficient.  I asked the law firm to handle an old issue that I thought would be difficult, if not impossible.  They accepted the challenge and succeeded in bringing it  to a wonderful and positive outcome. Thank you, Sercu Law! Many opportunities have opened because of the firms dedication to excellence and service in my case. I highly recommend this law firm! God bless.

But in your profession as a whole. You handle everything so professionally and i cannot thank you enough for what excellence you have portrayed! I hope i don’t ever have to call ya again but if theres anyone i know to call, you’re definitely at the top of my list to get me out of a pickle!
