It is for good reason that Super Lawyer Magazine identified Steven Whitworth as a Rising Star in the Northern California Criminal Defense Bar.

Bay Area Prosecutors know Steven well - as an attorney that will not back down. Mr. Whitworth's reputation for well crafted successful pretrial motions puts prosecutors on notice that Summit Defense client's cases will be aggressively challenged. Over the past few years, Steven has filed over 100 suppression motions and many were granted with charges dropped.

"I've always been highly competitive. I accomplished a lot in basketball, but it's not nearly as rewarding as fighting for a client's reputation and freedom...helping a client get through a difficult situation is a great feeling...even better than winning a basketball game!"

Steven Whitworth approaches cases like an athlete preparing for a competition. Mr. Whitworth was a college and professional basketball player in the European and Australian Leagues. He also worked as a college basketball coach before putting on a suit and exchanging the court for a courtroom. The transition has not been difficult.

It's no surprise that Super Lawyer magazine selected Steve Whitworth as a "Rising Star". He's very smart, works hard, and likes to win...a triple threat in any court.
