Rules About Contact

I am so glad I asked Mr. Gustitis to represent me in my DWI case. He and Nelda, his assistant, are both kind and patient, while providing superior service. He spent a lot of time with my case, and was determined to work with it until it was resolved satisfactorily. Nelda also spent time with me providing information and answering questions. I appreciate both of them, and their kindness, patience, and humor during the process.

Stephen Gustitis was truly a life saver. I didn't know what to do when I got into trouble and he made everything seem manageable. I was busy in my last year of school and he attended court for me whenever possible and made sure I was always prepared for everything. My case was not really the type that I could beat, but Mr. Gustitis would have fought for me until the end if I had let him. He is Dedicated, kind, comforting, knowledgeable, and VERY responsive. He was always there when I needed him. Even now, I ran into an issue with the DMV a year after court, and he worked with me consistently until I was able to solve the problem. I would recommend that anyone dealing with a DWI case in College Station call Stephen Gustitis. He will not only do everything in his power to help you, but he will help ease the everyday stresses that go along with the whole horrific experience. I couldn't have found a better lawyer to represent me.
