John A. Steakley, P.C. - Marietta, GA

John is professional, concise, and easily accessible to his clients. 11 days in jail, and only me and one other person saw or spoke to their attorney. I saw him twice! He is very genuine. Each specific situation and case is treated as such and any questions asked were answered thoroughly and not dismissed. Will definitely be our family lawyer going forward.

This law firm helped me out when I thought my case couldn’t be helped. I give this law firm a 5 star rating for there. They pay attention and they get everything they need to get to help your case.

My experience with John Steakley 5.0 stars Posted by Michael December 3, 2012 Mr. Steakley has represented me In a really large R.I.C.O. case, He has always kept in contact with me, treated me with respect and answered all my questions, even though at times im sure i was driving him crazy with my never ending ideas and questions. I never felt like at any time that i had to hide anything from him, I could say whatever i was thinking and he would respond with an honest answer. Now i might of not of always liked what i heard but it was the truth. I guess it is a common misconception to think your attorney is not telling you all the truth. I can tell you Mr. Steakley has represented me for over 4 years in this particular case, and I have nothing but the upmost respect for his character and integrity as a lawyer and person. The only reson I did not give him a perfect score on knowledgeable, is because of the size of my case, and everything involved, over 40 plus co-defendants, 14000 plus phone calls on wire taps, 20,000 documents. I doubt hardly any other lawyer around here has the experience of dealing with a case of this size. But John now does.

"Most Amazing Attorney" 5.0 stars Posted by Jane July 17, 2013 As the Executive Director of Meet the Need Ministry, a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization, I deal on a daily basis with multiple men that have legal issues. About two years ago, one of our ministry associates was charged and incarcerated with several horrendous crimes, several of which could have resulted in life in prison. As a family, we struggled and prayed during those two years. I certainly wish we had met Mr. John Steakly earlier. My first encounter with Mr. Steakly in court relieved a tremendous amount of pressure and worry. If there was anything we could be assured of during this two year nightmare it was that our ministry associate had the absolute best representation possible and available to him. A group of ministry associates and family members were present for every moment of the trial and we were very impressed with Mr. Steakly's skills, abilities, presentation and consideration. The trial took almost a whole week, but at that final moment when the verdict was read Mr. Steakly's diligent efforts and commitment resulted in a full acquittal of all charges. Mr. Steakly performed both a wonderful job for his client and was very compassionate to those who were in court to support his client. As an attorney he had to manage the needs and emotions of his client, but also chose to be informative and comforting to all that were in court supporting his client. I know for myself and for the ministry if we ever need legal counsel I know we would always feel 100% assured in choosing Mr. John Arnold Steakly. And in fact, we have already referred a new case to him for one of our ministry participants.

Straight Shooter` 5.0 stars Posted by Jay February 9, 2017 Mr. Steakley represented me in a very serious felony case where I was facing many years in prison. I had lots of misconceptions about the criminal justice system that Mr. Steakley cleared up for me. He's a straight shooter and he did an excellent job on my case, resulting in ZERO days of incarceration. He isn't the cheapest attorney around, but he is worth every penny, and his payment plans are the best around. I would recommend him to anyone needing a criminal defense attorney.

Great Attorney 5.0 stars Posted by Mike March 14, 2017 I hired John Steakley for a domestic violence charge that was not justified and John was professional throughout my case. He always kept me informed and got the case dropped will use him again if I ever need to.

Prompt info, good direction 5.0 stars Posted by Sarah C. July 4, 2017 Mr. Steakley answered my query promptly, and also was responsive to follow up questions from me. When you are in the dark on action and have several options, one of which is to wait it out, it helps to have someone clear-headed and logical provide direction to protect yourself and your way of life. Mr. Steakley gave me a clear path and extremely helpful information.

A few years after returning to my native North Georgia following my service in Iraq, I found myself falsely accused of a crime that could put me in prison for life. I lost my job. I was being attacked on social media by people I thought were my friends. I was being prosecuted by one of the toughest District Attorney offices in Georgia. I feared a life spent behind bars for a crime I did not commit. As a father, I feared the prospect of my children growing up without me. I saw my entire life collapsing around me. As a former military policeman, I knew I needed the best attorney I could find. After interviewing several lawyers, I knew John Steakley was the one for me. His experience over two decades as both a prosecutor and defense attorney was exactly what I needed. Sixteen months and a 7-day jury trial later, I was a free man. Hiring John Steakley was the best decision I ever made and best money I ever spent. He gave me back my life and gave my children back their father. He fought for me, and he will fight for you.

I hired Mr. Steakley at the end of July when I found out I had a warrant out for my arrest due to me missing my 1st arraignment by accident. As soon as I hired Mr. Steakley he quickly came up with a resolution for both my case & my new warrant. He worked tediously to resolve my situation and within the next 2-3months had my case closed and ultimately got my felony charge dropped to a misdemeanor. I also learned a lot of legal stuff in the process. I would definitely recommend Mr. Steakley to anyone who’s gotten in trouble with the law. He’s a lifesaver.
