Copyright © 2019 The Law Office of Stephen W. Wolf, LLC
I left one career in public service to join another. I retired after working for thirty-two years with the North Olmsted Police Department and I am now practicing law in the areas of criminal defense, bankruptcy and estate planning. Thirty two years in criminal justice taught me that the work of a attorney is every bit as important to justice as the work of the police, prosecutors or the court.
As a police officer, I believed in helping and assisting all groups of people, including those I arrested. Working in criminal defense, I now continue to provide that help by assisting those who need an informed, knowledgeable and savvy advocate.
I have degrees in Public Safety Management, a Master of Public Administration and a Juris Doctor from Cleveland State University. I also had three years of Electrical Engineering training from Ohio State. I am admitted into the Ohio bar. I am admitted to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. I am a member of the American, Ohio State, Lorain County and Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Associations. I support the American Society for Public Administration and the Administrative Theory Network.
I offer my services to the Cleveland Legal Aid Society and the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association's Pro Se Divorce Clinics. I am active in the Northeast Ohio Driver's License Reinstatement Project which seeks to help those who have lost their driver's license regain their operating privileges. I have earned a number of pro bono awards.
I am expert in the operation of traffic signals. For twelve years I maintained the traffic signal system for the City of North Olmsted. I became expert not only in maintaining the signals, but in the operation of the hardware and software that define the signals. I became expert at signage and many of the engineering requirements necessary for proper traffic flow. I now offers that expertise through my traffic signal company, Wolf's Signals, LLC, and in expert testimony offering forensic, post-accident reconstruction. This experience is invaluable in assessing the proper application of criminal law when a client has been charged with signal or sign issues..
While in public service, I was trained to analyze and maintain the alcohol breath test unit made by National Patent Analytic Systems, Inc. I was certified to fix the unit down to the component level. My work on the Datamaster leaves him with in-depth knowledge on both its operation and on those who operate it.
I am fluent in computers and computer networks. I have written and sold computer programs. I am knowledgeable on all forms of electrical and electronic circuitry. I am fluent in a number of computer languages.
In my free time I hike, bike, motorcycle, enjoy amateur (ham) radio, my two dogs and camping in my motorhome.
