“I chose to work in criminal defense because everyone deserves proper representation when something as important as their liberty is at stake”.. “The thing I love about being a lawyer is helping others who are unfamiliar with the judicial process”.. There are two things you should know about Stephen Lebedevich – he’s a team player, and he likes to win (did we mention that, in his spare time, he’s a competitive volleyball player?) Stephen’ s experiences on the court have made him the lawyer that he is – he knows how to work with other people to achieve a common goal, and he is willing to put in long hours and tons of effort in order to improve. His competitive nature also means that he plays to win and takes his cases extremely seriously. Of course, Stephen knows how to have fun too, and is often the one lightening the mood in the office with his mini basketball hoop and world-cup attire (he’s always the first to sport a USA jersey).

WE ARE NOT PERSONAL INJURY "DOG BITE" PLAINTIFF LAWYERS.. Most people consider their pets as more than just possessions, but rather as family members and best friends. When situations arise where they might lose them, it is unbearable. Most people never think about needing a lawyer to save their pet, and when they start searching, they find few attorneys or organizations with any real experience in animal law. This is because very few lawyers devote their lives to saving animals, and few focus their profession on animals and the rights of their owners.. Our work has involved pet owners facing eviction because of their dog or cat, bite incidents where dogs are seized and ordered to be killed, custody and ownership disputes of beloved pets, and criminal charges involving dogs and feeding stray animals. We also represent animal rescues, fosters and adopters. We provide litigation strategies, techniques and guidance on animal litigation matters to attorneys throughout the country in state and federal courts.. A lot of our work involves defending dogs involved in bite incidents who are unjustly facing death. They and their owners are pre-judged by a system which ignores their rights. We are proud our animal rights litigation work is at the forefront of shaping the direction of companion animal law. In zealously representing the interests of companion animals, we are advancing the rights of all can learn more about our work at The Center for Animal Litigation on our website @.. We welcome inquiries should you have an issue with a companion animal which we may be able to provide assistance. The Center also provides a low cost consultation service to review documents and facts surrounding your animal situation and to speak with an attorney concerning your options.
