Did the absolute bare minimum. Showed up to court and did nothing. Took my money and didn’t even try.
This firm didn’t inform me of the options I had legally to get out of my situation, I had to find out through someone else that I didn’t even need this representation. They don’t know the law and they will not fight for you.
Ben and the team at Stechschulte Nell handled my federal firearm-related case with professionalism, discretion, and attention to detail from start to finish. Federal cases are extremely serious, and Ben stayed on top of every aspect of the paperwork, communication, and strategy throughout the entire process. He was straightforward, responsive, and clearly knew the system inside and out.
The outcome of my situation turned out far better than I could’ve ever expected, and I genuinely believe that was because of the work Ben put in behind the scenes. On top of being an outstanding attorney, he was also just genuinely awesome and easy to be around during a very stressful time. He treated me like a person, not just another case file.
If you’re facing a serious federal matter and need someone who will actually fight for you, communicate with you, and handle things the right way, I highly recommend Ben and this firm.

Ben got my f1 and f2 charges dropped, he really went above and beyond my expectations. I’ve dealt with multiple lawyers in the past and wish I found him earlier. Highly recommend and will be referring friends to him.

Thank you, Hamza. I’m glad Ben was able to get your F1 and F2 charges dropped and exceed your expectations. We appreciate your trust and your recommendation, and we welcome any friends you refer to provide the same level of care and focus.
I had a great experience working with Attorney Ben and his team. From the start, they were professional, responsive, and very supportive during a stressful time. First DUI offense, Ben clearly explained everything and guided me through the process.
Darci was always quick to respond and kept everything organized, which made a big difference. Thanks to their hard work and expertise, my charges were dropped, and I couldn’t be more grateful.
I highly recommend Attorney Ben and Darci to anyone needing a reliable and dedicated legal team in the Tampa Area.

I reached out to Ben Stechschulte with some questions regarding the trial process and how he would handle a case. He explained his process as a defense attorney in a way that was easy to understand and that gave me confidence in his ability to handle my case. I appreciate his history as a prosecutor and believe it has given him a unique perspective as an attorney.

We appreciate your recommendation and are pleased we could secure the outcome you needed. If you ever need assistance in the future, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
This guy doesn’t even deserve one star. If you didn’t want our case, you shouldn’t have taken it. If we hadn’t hired a new attorney, my husband would be looking 2-5 years in state prison for a felony. Ben just basically wanted him to plea guilty and throw himself at the mercy of the court. Thank God we hired someone else and received misdemeanor probation for 12 months. Did absolutely nothing to help our case and wasted thousands of dollars.

I had a short consultation with Mr. Stechschulte, and it was evident that he is very knowledgeable and experienced! He left a personalized voice memo addressing my questions, with a lot of detail. He was even able to pull from examples from cases he had personally worked on. He was able to easily identify nuances in the law that I would have had no idea about otherwise, and how they could influence the situations I had asked about.

I reached out to Mr. Stetchshulte on behalf of a family friend regarding juveniles and the justice system. I was expecting a short canned response with a request to make an appointment.
On the contrary, Mr. Stetchshulte surprised me by answering my first question so thoroughly, and in such detail, that my friend now knows what the next steps should be for their family.
I highly recommend Mr. S at this law firm. If you have questions or need legal help, don't hesitate to contact.

I was curious about their processes so I asked a few questions regarding lying, diabolic evidence, and consultations. As someone who has very little knowledge on lawyers I learned a lot through Stechschulte's answers. If your looking for a lawyer, I would definitely consider trying out this law firm.

This guy took 25 grand of mine and I ended up signing same deal offered when arrested 2 years prior. If you need an criminal attorney in tampa Dirk Weed is the only guy to hire, Ben is a joke compared to Dirk. Ben referred his buddy to my co defendant and same deal took 25 grand and did nothing for it. Do not hire this guy.
I was able to ask attorney Stechschulte Nell a few questions about the law in my field. He seems very genuine and knowledgeable about the whole process and what to expect. I would definitely recommend his services.

Mr. Ben Stechschulte, attorney, gave me very intelligent and well thought out responses to my legal questions. After a plea deal was signed the county changed how they calculate gain time, actually cutting it in half. You gave me hope that we do have options. I appreciate your personal response. Thank you.
I recently had the opportunity to speak with Ben Stechschulte. I found this interaction to be both engaging and informative. I felt confident talking to Ben. His knowledge and board certification provided me with the feeling of an added layer of trust. Additionally, Ben provided valuable insight into what can happen when handling a first-time offence. I look forward to learning more from Ben and the rest of the team.
