I can’t say enough good things about Steve Waterkotte and the entire team at Combs & Waterkotte. When my daughter received her first speeding ticket, I reached out to Steve to see if he could help. The very next morning, his staff had already entered their appearance, continued the court date, and requested a recommendation from the prosecuting attorney’s office. Thanks to their quick action and strategic approach, they were able to successfully have the ticket reduced to a parking violation. From start to finish, the communication was excellent — prompt, clear, and reassuring every step of the way. It’s obvious this is a law firm that truly cares about their clients and delivers on what they say they will do. I highly recommend Steve Waterkotte and his team to anyone needing legal representation.
I recently had a traffic issue in Missouri and engaged the Combs Waterkotte law firm to resolve it. I found the firm to be excellent from their Administrative personnel through thr Attorney I was assigned. My Attorney walked me through how this situation would likely play out and was spot. The outcome received was the best I could have hoped for and am grateful I utilized this firm. I’d like to not need Combs Waterkotte but would readily engage them again they performed very well.
I worked with Chris once and he did a great job. He wasn’t the cheapest nor the most expensive attorney. In the end I was very pleased by the result. If you select him as your attorney you will be happy with his responsiveness and attention to detail.
Working with Steven Waterkotte was an outstanding experience from start to finish. His professionalism, clarity, and deep understanding of the legal process immediately put me at ease. Steven took control of my case with confidence and precision, explaining every step and making sure I always knew what to expect. His communication was excellent — responsive, direct, and incredibly thorough. I never felt uncertain or overlooked. Steven’s strategy was smart, well-thought-out, and ultimately led to an outcome that exceeded my expectations. If you need an attorney who is sharp, reliable, and truly invested in achieving the best result for his clients, Steven Waterkotte is the one you want in your corner. His level of commitment and expertise is unmatched. I would recommend him without hesitation.
Fantastic experience. I was facing a charge that had potential jail time. At a minimum I thought my license would be suspended and my insurance would drop. Along with a very large fine. Steve was able to get this amended to an illegal parking and the fine was less then I could have imagined. No license suspension, no insurance loss. Cannot believe he was able to do this. But so very thankful. Woulda recommend these guys 10 times over
