When my company faced a serious investigation into alleged regulatory violations that carried potential criminal exposure, the stakes couldn't have been higher. We needed counsel with deep experience in both white-collar defense and the courtroom. Mr. Sadow's national reputation and his 46 years of practice were immediately evident. His strategic guidance from the Marietta College and Emory Law foundation through to his current status as a sole practitioner was meticulous. He has a commanding presence that commands respect, and his special focus in areas relevant to our situation was invaluable. The recognition he has received in criminal defense is well-deserved. While his expertise justified his fees, the billing process could have been slightly more transparent with interim summaries. That said, his diligent work resulted in a highly favorable resolution that protected both the company and individuals involved. For anyone in Georgia navigating high-stakes legal jeopardy, Steven Sadow is a premier choice.
