He is amazing. I strongly recommend him for all his hard work. I called his during the holidays for a family member case and he got everything emailed within 2-3 hours with the paper work processed no later then the next day.

Ben Stechschulte and staff were respectful and courteous and provided decent representation for my son, who ultimately got the dispensation we were hoping for. However, I found myself frustrated with communications with Ben because he wouldn't always answer emailed questions in a timely fashion or would answer incompletely, requiring more follow up emails or calls. Their office could really benefit from a skilled paralegal who could answer basic questions in Ben's absence. The receptionist is courteous but just takes messages and can't help in Ben's absence.
Thank you Ben for making the whole process a breeze. We had no idea what to do and Ben was there every step of the way to answer any questions we had. We felt so comfortable working with Ben. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know!

I give Ben Stechschulte 5 stars because I was falsely accused and my career was in trouble. The end result was a non jury hearing and the judgement was not guilty. He kept communication open through the whole process and I only appeared in court once.

Are you kidding? The short statement that led into this public posting stated that you weren't sure if your representation had any effect on my life. I was driving for a long long time with no driver's license, compounding my problem repeatedly, when I would get arrested for dwls. I explained to the Sheriff's Office I explained to the judges, explain to everyone but nobody understood. And then Along Came Ben. I explained how I got into this position and the things that had happened as a result of me continuing to drive. I know I was in the wrong , to continue driving and breaking the law , but I own a small business and had to Drive , , at risk , hundreds of times , in order to keep my small business afloat, and my family fed. Ben found a way to explain it legally, and we straightened out the whole mess. I have been driving now, legally with my own license again, for about 2 years. I've not had any form of ticket and I'm a careful driver like I always have been. Thank you ever so much for changing my life Ben. Robert Blanchard

Ben Stechshulte's expertise and confidence guided me through one of the most troubling times of my young life. I was falsely accused of domestic violence, my entire future lay in jeopardy.Had I not enlisted Ben's representation I am not sure I'd be here to write this review. Ben and his wonderful team were able to see me through a very trying time with no charges against my name. I would in a heartbeat ask him to represent me again, I can think of no greater asset on my side.

I had to get another attorney.
I was afraid I would not get the best defense considering the difficulty I had in communicating with him and how the details of my case had been handled.
The only direction given by him was to get character reference letters and something from a doctor about a medical issue pertaining to the case.
On multiple occasions, I did not receive answers to emails for many days and sometimes at all. I purposely waited about a week to not bug him too much. Questions in emails were completely ignored.
He told me that he sent me all the character reference letters that he received. Multiple character reference letters which were sent including one from my psychologist, and one from my boss (which talked specifically about an issue related to the case) are not in the file he sent. I had confirmations those emails were sent to him and not rejected.
He asked me how long, conservatively, getting medical evaluations would take. I said 3 months because it is taking a long time getting these things accomplished. In court the judge seemed open about being asked for a longer time period before the next court date yet he told her that we can check in 45 days from that date.
Each time I appeared in court it was anxiety producing and causing missed work. My new attorney told me I was not required to appear at all for all of the basic court dates.
I asked several times for Ben to get a copy of a document that could possibly have had the case dismissed. He said he would. I never saw this document at all. In the end he claimed that he had seen the document and it would be irrelevant. There was no copy ever provided to me or in the my file. I cannot believe as an attorney he would not get a copy of a document that was important enough to have the client request it numerous times and important enough to go see.
Because of these facts and conversations we had, I had continually felt that he had not placed enough serious importance on my case to get me the best outcome.
I have paid him $5000 in a non-refundable contract. I would have appreciated some credit, in good faith, based on my perception of the work done and the work that no longer had to be done by him. I requested it but it was denied.
I had no intention or desire to have to go spend more money on another attorney but I felt that it was what I had to do for my best interests.
I would recommend using another attorney.

When you need an attorney, Ben is the one to call! His work ethic is second to none, and he truly cares about every client and helping you get the best outcome for your criminal case. Plus, he's a former prosecutor, which gives him better perspective for negotiation or trial. Personally, if in trouble, I’m calling the best – and that’s Ben Stechschulte!

When life throws you into a situation you’d never thought you’d be in, its very comforting to have someone like Ben Stechschulte on your side. I can’t thank him enough for his knowledge and guidance throughout this process. Ben clearly explained our options and determined the best course of action. His leadership has resulted in the best possible outcome and has given my family the ability to recover from this unfortunate circumstance. I highly recommend Ben Stechschulte.

Ben Stechschulte is amazing and extremely qualified. I have known Ben for several years at this point and he is as credible and professional as they get. Put his number on speed dial so if you ever know anyone that needs help for any type of arrest or mistaken identity issue, DUI, or any problem they may face. Hopefully you never need his service personally but if you or someone you know ever needs it, Ben is definitely your go to attorney. He is board certified and also can represent people in federal court as well. I highly recommend Ben.

Very friendly but after all was said and done we including my family do not feel that I was represented correctly or fairly - when I had proof not all things were mine it was defended because I was threatened if I fought it they would seek more charges which is illegal and Ben did nothing to protect me from this. He took 20,000 and didn’t get me anything more than the original plea deal and now my life is ruined and haunted!
