Steven Ameche

Steven Ameche is a Maryland sole practitioner whose work includes criminal defense, traffic matters, and personal injury cases. He returned to Maryland in 2015 and now practices exclusively in the state. His criminal work includes trial preparation, plea evaluation, and courtroom advocacy, while his traffic practice addresses driving-related charges and license concerns. He also handles injury matters arising from accidents and negligence, giving clients representation across several forms of contested legal proceedings.

Steven earned a B.A. from the University of Central Florida and a J.D. from Taft University. He was admitted in California in 1997 and later in Maryland. His education and long practice history support work involving legal research, trial preparation, negotiation, and appellate issues. His California license is currently inactive, while his Maryland practice remains centered on criminal, traffic, and personal injury matters for clients who need direct representation from a sole practitioner.

Steven previously worked as a lawyer for KingWorld CBS Network and Hertz Investment Group. He later handled a contested wrongful death matter that reached the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, where he personally delivered oral argument before the case settled. He has tried matters ranging from bench trials to jury trials. These experiences contribute to a practice that requires evaluating evidence, preparing legal arguments, and deciding whether trial, settlement, or plea resolution best fits a case.

Steven Ameche has served as Treasurer and Secretary of the Malibu Bar Association and as a judge for a Pepperdine law school moot court competition. His professional background spans corporate legal work, appellate advocacy, trial practice, criminal defense, traffic matters, and personal injury representation. He now focuses his legal work in Maryland, drawing on decades of practice when advising clients about case strategy, courtroom procedure, negotiated resolutions, and the risks attached to contested legal matters.
