He is simply the best defense lawyer in the Pacific NW. If you need to find out more type Stephen's name I to Google and the story will be self evident. Stephen and his son are dynamic, thorough, thoughtful, and driven by the truth. They are in such high demand that they only select a few cases and it has been my good fortune and pleasure to have been through two difficult situations with a Manila Stephen Houze. I would offer him a 6 out of 5 stars if I could. Very impressive man and law firm!
