From the time I first met him, Steve has skillfully handled my case and been available to walk me through the process each step of the way. Steve is honest, forthright, and worked with dedication on my behalf. One attribute that makes Steve stand out from other attorneys is that he has always seen me as a person, not just a case.

"I've been using Mr. Nakano since 1999. 20+ years. He's the best criminal attorney to use in Santa Clara county bar none. If you have an criminal issue in Santa Clara county, you would be insane not to at least give him a call. He's been in business in San Jose forever and all the judges know him by name and seem happy to see him. He is the superstar of the courtroom. He's a genius and thinks outside of the box. He can think of ways to approach cases that your typical "take the deal" attorneys never dream of. He is very compassionate and seems to thrive on helping others. He even helped start a drug treatment facility for client like myself that were dealing with addictions. He was also the main article on the front page of the San Jose Mercury Newspaper for taking down a corrupt attorney general. Personally, he's helped me out of a lot of sticky situations. He was able to get the judge to accept my time in a sle as my dui classes. He got my 18 month prison sentence offer reduced to just about time served with release to a treatment facility. Real help. He also helped me get another case dropped. Every time I visit him he has a calming effect on me and I also leave more confident knowing I have the best man for the job. He's a real superstar and Zen master. For all your criminal needs, do yourself a favor and schedule a meeting with him now."

"Steven Nakano is the kind of lawyer you want to be in your corner when you are going through a case in the court system. He was very knowledgeable of all court expectations and procedures to help us get a favorable outcome. He went out of his way to schedule additional court dates to address my medical issues with court. He was very informative of all our options to help us make the right decisions on how to proceed. Going through this kind event in one's life is very stressful but having a trustworthy lawyer like Steven Nakano to help and support us with all our needs made everything so much easier. You can't put a price on having peace of mind when you need it most... Thank you Steven."

"Steven Nakano saved my life! If I could leave 10 stars I would. He is truly the last of the Mohicans when it comes to a defense attorney in Santa Clara county. He is the kindest, most honest attorney I've ever met in my entire life. I came to Mr. Nakano after being cheated out of alot of money by another attorney who had no real interest in helping me with my case. From the moment I walked into his office, he treated me with compassion and care. He was brutally honest with me and went out of his way to explain all of my options. Upon taking my case, he introduced me to his team of professionals, and promised he would do whatever he could to help. I was a bit skeptical at first but quickly learned Mr Nakano was as genuine as they come. Whenever making court appearances, all of the judges and district attorneys knew him very well. He relentlessly fought for me and his level of professionalism was impeccable. My original offer from the district attorneys office was 9years in a CA state penitentiary while being represented by my previous attorney. I listened to Mr. Nakano and did everything he suggested. We continued going to court over the course of a year. He gave me hope, told me to stay positive, and have faith. He led me to the path of recovery and showed the courts that I had simply made some bad choices and deserved a second chance. He truly saved my life. I served 90 days in county jail VS the 9 year sentence they originally wanted to give me in State Prison. I can't emphasize how amazing of a person Steve is. Not just an great attorney, a great human being! I can go on and on and on in details of how amazing he is. I will always be grateful to him and his practice and highly refer anyone looking for a good defense attorney to go talk to him. You will not regret it."
