I cannot recommend Steven Groce highly enough. From the beginning, he was straightforward with me about my situation, explained what I needed to do, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. What impressed me most was the amount of persistence he showed when my case became unusually difficult to resolve. There were significant communication issues outside of his control, but Steven continued following up with the prosecutor and the court week after week. He kept me updated on what was happening and continued pushing for the best possible result instead of taking the easier route simply to get the case finished. Ultimately, his work resulted in both of my cases being completely dismissed. No conviction, no plea agreement, and no suspended sentence. It was genuinely the best outcome I could have received. Going through a legal situation like this for the first time was stressful, but having an attorney who communicated with me and was clearly willing to put in the work made an enormous difference. I am extremely grateful for the time and effort Steven put into my case and would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing representation in Missouri.

Stephen was very attentive to my situation throughout the process, which took over a year. He was in constant contact with me, and was able to resolve any and all issues with high regard. He was helpful in providing all steps needed to address my arrest as needed. In turn, I was not convicted of any crime falsely accused of. I am more than satisfied, and relieved. I VERY highly recommend Mr. Groce.

Mr. Groce is an excellent Attorney and well worth every penny for whatever matter it may be. He fought very vigorously on my case which was a particularly difficult one and got the best outcome I did not even believe possible. After applying his suggestions I even found many ways to greatly better my life as a whole. Eternally grateful for Mr. Groce’s services and will always recommend his office.

I highly recommend him to represent you in your legal case. When I was needing my license reinstated and having to go through the whole process of petitioning the court, he guided me through the whole process very clearly and efficiently. He went above and beyond to work out the issues that came up during the process to help me get to the resolution that we were striving for. He definitely will have your best interests in mind when he's working for you and will do everything it takes to make sure you will have a successful outcome to your case.

I contacted Attorney Steven Groce after receiving a DWI. I had a particularly difficult case and my hopes for a positive outcome weren't very high. Attorney Groce worked on my case diligently and kept me informed every step of the way. He was always professional and very responsive to any questions I had via email. Ultimately, he was able to COMPLETELY AVOID any DWI conviction on my record! I would definitely recommend his services to anyone needing help.
