The Law Office of James Steele, PLLC - Roanoke, Virginia

Chris Di Risio is BY FAR one of the best individuals AND lawyers I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting and working with. When my life was turned upside down in an instant (literally), and I undoubtedly couldn’t think straight, Chris not only made sure I didn’t make any rash decisions day in and day out for almost a year (which most certainly speaks to his notable patience!), but he also helped me navigate the system by being my voice. I’m FOREVER grateful! All that said, even though we all know hiring a lawyer in any capacity is a great financial responsibility, Chris is worth EVERY single cent and then some!

We contacted the Law Office of James Steele for help with a family member's time sensitive court issue. Within the hour, the incredibly helpful office practice manager had secured an attorney who could be available to take the case right away. We did not know Ms. Henderson before, but the way she attended court and expertly and professionally engaged with the judge, prosecution, and officers, showed her ease and skill in that arena. Every authority in uniform in that courtroom was actually happy to see her. She is clearly considered a professional in high regard. I was surprised at the excellent outcome she was able to secure for my family member. She was calm, kind, and reassuring. While I hope to never have occasion to need an attorney in the future, if we do, Ms. Henderson will be my first call.

Allen Steele and his team supported us on a will issue and I was super impressed both with his customer service and high-quality legal advice -- but also with the way he advised us where to spend money and where not to (which I really appreciated because we could have thrown big $$ at this issue but Allen really helped us keep it low-cost - meaning he worried more about our needs than his own). While we worked with Allen, the entire process was highly ethical and professional. -- and his legal advice was smart and on-target -- and our case was decided in our favor. I highly recommend Allen. He cares about his clients, is cost effective, and extremely knowledgeable. His office and assistant was also super helpful. I'm not sure one can ask for any better representation. Highly recommended!!

James Steele Senior “represented” me in a landlord-tenant dispute with my college-aged son who had safety issues at his first apartment. Mr. Steele’s inability or unwillingness to address my case timely or competently, cost me over $1020 (in fees to him) - and I paid out my sons *entire lease*. He knew I am a single parent and taking my > $1,000 while completely failing to represent me was completely unethical. It deeply harmed my family financially. He sent one letter for this price (very late) to the other party, and sent me a couple of emails (after I begged and pleased with the office for him to get back to me). In his emails he not once even REMEMBERED MY NAME. My one hour consultation ($320) was mostly him blathering about himself. This was not Christian behavior, it harmed us greatly financially when they knew we needed it and their family of lawyers certainly doesn’t… it was totally lacking integrity. He should have known he was unable to represent me and/or present a refund. Not Christian. Not morally correct. Just a terrible, expensive experience.

Back in July I had my first ever non paying tenant and needed to evict her. After reading about doing the eviction myself I decided to hire a lawyer and it was worth every penny. Jennifer French handled this case for me and after giving her my paperwork I never thought about it again until it was done. Jennifer handled my business like it was her own and gave me the peace of mind to focus my time and energy on the things that needed it. Highly recommend and would use them again.

James is super friendly and quick to respond on both simple issues and complex ones.

Back in March I was new to Virginia, and got into some legal trouble. Allen Steele and his associates/colleagues, were not only able to get me out of that said legal trouble, but have gone above and beyond to address all my concerns and questions while proving me much needed peace of mind. Friendly, professional, supportive, and decisive, what more would you want from a lawyer.

I cannot say enough about how much Mr. J. Allen Steele II helped me with getting my reckless driving charge reduced to a 'regular' speeding ticket and a surprisingly minimal fine. His consultation and explaining the situation and possible outcomes is what really helped calm my nerves, as my driving record is pretty clean and I am not used to being in these types of situations lol.

I absolutely recommend this firm for their services, if you [are unfortunate to] need them for a traffic charge. Thank you so much!
