Mr. Casanova was very kind and explained all the options available to me & specific to my case. Not only is he (in my opinion) the best criminal lawyer in all of Brevard county...he is also the most fairly priced. I am thankful for his help & the time he spent with me free of charge. Unfortunately I could not hire him due to conflict of interest...however he was very helpful in recommending the lawyer I did hire. I can't speak highly enough of Mr. Casanova!!- Evelyn

"Thank you, Steven and staff"A call for help from our son, living 1000+ miles away, led us to Attorney Steven Casanova. What a find! From the very first phone call, we were assured that we had found the perfect individual to navigate us through a most difficult situation. Steve was extremely professional, friendly, and compassionate at all times. And, he made himself available to us by phone, even on weekends. Through his efforts, our son’s charges were dropped.

"I only had to go to court once, which was nice because of work. Mr. Casanova was professional, yet casual, not typical attorney stereotype."I had never been in trouble with the law before. I was referred to Casanova Law by a friend of mine who was previous client of Mr. Casanova's. I originally spoke over the phone with the paralegal, and she took the time to explain the entire process. She was very knowledgeable and put my mind to ease. Throughout my case I called the office multiple times and the staff was always kind and able to help me and answer my questions. I only had to go to court once, which was nice because of work. Mr. Casanova was professional, yet casual, not typical attorney stereotype. Very pleased with the outcome.- Former Client

"He is also very personable and makes himself available whenever you want information or advice."If you are ever unfortunate enough to get a DUI, I hope you are fortunate enough to get Mr. Casanova to represent you. Steve has a wealth of experience with DUI cases and was able to get a last minute agreement to eliminate one of the penalties in exchange for a charitable donation. He is also very personable and makes himself available whenever you want information or advice.- Former Client
