I recently had the misfortune of needing a criminal defense attorney and had the good fortune of finding Steve Rakow! I did an online search and didn't want a large law firm I wanted a more personal approach and Steve is a Vet too. Steve was very personable, knowledgeable, efficient, respectful, kind and caring. He was very helpful and took the time needed to answer questions. He made a horrible experience bearable and it was very comforting to have him standing beside me. I highly recommend Steve Rakow to anyone in need of an attorney. I can't thank him enough for his help.

We have known Steve for years on many levels, but recently we had the pleasure of retaining him as our attorney. Steve was thorough, efficient and easy to speak to when dissecting the legal language we needed to understand our situation. Steve makes himself readily accessible to his clients, by being just a phone call away and I would recommend him to any friend in need of legal guidance!

I was very fortunate to have retained Steve for a recent serious legal problem.
He never once made me feel rushed when either listening, or explaining the options I had.
In all my communications with Him he was totally upfront and clear. He made sound recommendations and He delivered everything he said he would.
His integrity and honesty can only be
Found in a Field Grade Marine Corps officer.

Very understanding. Was offering advise before he was even retained.

Look no further, THE BEST ATTORNEY IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND. Since I was already studying to become a paralegal. I figured I would be okay without counsel, I was facing two sets of serious charges, both could result with me being imprisoned if found guilty. I kept postponing my court dates, first to buy time (which worked for almost a year) then to obtain counsel. Glad I did because I was acquitted of 10 out of 12 charges and, the 2 charges I got were payable fines under a Probation Before Judgement. I could not sleep for months but, thanks to Mr. Steve Rakow I can worry no more. I am forever thankful, grateful and, YOU HAVE OFFICIALLY GAINED A LIFETIME CLIENT.

Sincerely,
Antaysha Jones One Satisfied Customer

Although I knew of Steve Rakow, from other dealing so when we needed help, there was no one else I would consider. Even though an evening text to Steve her immediately returned my call. I explained the situation and he gave us advise and we set up an appointment for the next day. He explained everything to my husband and me, in a way that was easy to understand. Then the court date arrived and we were all nervous. But Steve came through again! We were so excited and appreciative beyond words. I do not know what we would have done without Steve's help and persistence to make sure everything flowed along with a better than expected outcome. I know no one ever wants to "need" an attorney, but if anyone I know needed one, I would not hesitate to recommend Steve every time! Steve follows through and know exactly what actions to take. And his follow up after all is done is excellent. Wouldn't use anyone else!

Amazing guy , knowledgeable in his craft of law and representation , and most importantly a United States Veteran. Would recommend 100% !

I highly recommend Steve Rakow. I felt so relieved to speak with him and have him represent my son, who is an out of state driver. Steve is very professional, walked me through the necessary steps and kept us updated and informed. We had a very good outcome.

When you need a lawyer its a stressful situation. Of course you want someone who understands the law and knows the local court system. But what you really want is someone who cares. Steve cares. He cares about you as a person and wants to get you the best outcome possible. For me Steve navigated a complex situation that required some intricate deal making at the last minute. Steve was calm under pressure and was able to deal with the situation and got me a better outcome than we expected. More importantly Steve is a friend and I expect will be a friend far into the future. Without question I would recommend Steve for any legal services you may require. Go Navy!

Highly recommend Attorney Rakow. He is very knowledgeable and professional. From our first conversation with him I felt at ease that he could handle and resolve our issue to the best possible outcome. Hopefully won't need legal services in the future but if I do I will not hesitate to call Steven Rakow.

Steve was our savior! We hired him to help us negotiate the court and traffic system with our son and he was invaluable. He explained to us everything we needed to know, helped us navigate the system and prepare us to address the outcomes. Hope not to have the problem again but we do have 2 teenagers! Will call again immediately!!!

Unfortunately I have not had good luck dealing with attorneys until I met Steve Rakow. He is professional, extremely knowledgeable, easy to talk to and he truly cares! He does not try to dazzle you with legal terms, he speaks so you can understand exactly what your situation is, always has sound advice, leaves no details out, and is more than fair on his fees! Steve has referred me/us to another attorney when he felt he could not represent(case was across the Bay Bridge) what was best for me/us. He returns emails, phone calls and keeps you up to date. Honestly, I cannot say enough good things about how Steve helped and did what was best for me in a couple of difficult situations.

Hiring Steve Rakow was one of the best decisions we have ever made. He is thorough, professional, personable and efficient. All of our emails, calls or texts were responded to quickly. There is no need to look any further for an exceptional lawyer. Hopefully we will not need a lawyer again, but if we do, Steve will be our first and only choice!

I do not recommend.

I am so thankful for Attorney Steve Rakow's service. He remedied a traffic issue with expediency and professionalism. He handled everything with ease. I am out of town, googled a lawyer in the area and I got very lucky to find Steve Rakow. If you are looking for a kind, understanding and proficient lawyer, I highly recommend him.

I absolutely loved working with Steve. For starters, his fee was affordable and reasonable for me after waiting to find a attorney last minute. Steve is very knowledgeable and personable. I spent most of my time talking to him directly not being passed down to his assistant in which I loved. Even if he had court or other duties he made sure to get back with me asap through phone and email. He set the appropriate expectations and was able to deliver the exact results we spoke about. If you're looking for a attorney that is concise, knowledgeable, friendly, compassionate, and well organized then allow Steve to represent you. He's amazing and will always be my attorney for anything concerning the state of Maryland.

Our Condo Association has used Mr. Rakow on two occasions. His guidance and advice could not have been better. He negotiated the best outcome for us by knowing what was needed to provide us with a strong case. I would not hesitate in recommending him to others.

I have worked with Steve is various capacities for the past 7 years. He is not only a good attorney, but his years of business experience make him a great sounding board for me and my business. I also find his billing to be fair and reasonable, which is not something you would think go hand in hand. I would highly recommend him!

Where to start? Although I knew of Steve Rakow, I didn't know him well. But when my grandson got into a bit of trouble, my friend said "Call Steve Rakow" And then she made the call. Steve immediately too my call and I explained the situation and we set up an appointment for the next day. He explained everything to my grandson and me, in a way that was easy to understand. He laid out a plan and then gave a list of things for my grandson to do. My grandson has trouble opening up to people, but he immediately liked Steve and dis everything he was told to do.
After an MVA hearing, my grandson told me that he felt like Steve really cared about how things would turn out and that it was the first time someone other than family showed the cared.
Then the court date arrived and we were all nervous. But Steve came through again! He went to bat for my grandson and got 8 counts/charges reduced to one and my grandson got Probation before Judgement and a small fine. We were all so excited and appreciative beyond words. And my standoffish grandson hugged Steve right in the courthouse. I do not know what we would have done without Steve's help and persistence to make sure everything flowed along with a better than expected outcome. I know no one ever wants to "need" an attorney, but if anyone I know needed one, I would not hesitate to recommend Steve every time! Steve follows through and know exactly what actions to take. My grandson, his mother and I can all breathe a sign of relief now, and we owe 100,000 Thanks to Steve!

Attorney Steven W Rakow demonstrated absolute integrity while helping me challenge a fraudulent invoice and make counter claims. Steve is more than just a great lawyer, he has extensive experience in the home building profession and has owned several business. His unique background enabled him to quickly get to the bottom of issues I was having with a construction manager I had hired. His recommendations and the demand letter he sent gave me the confidence necessary to move forward with warranty claims despite the invoice dispute. While still not completely resolved, we have won several battles along the way due to Steve’s excellent counsel. Efficiency is important when you require legal support and I always felt that Steve was considering the cost of his effort and working in my best interest. You want him on your side. My only regret is not getting him involved sooner!

Outstanding attorney.
