Posted by Dennis | March 29, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Employment & Labor

An incredible Attorney that will never let you down!

My employment case was the classic story of David vs Goliath. I was up against a billionaire that was determined not to pay my wages. Steve reviewed the facts of the case, took me on as a client and suddenly the playing field was leveled. The case was a 5 year battle and Steve never wavered. Al...ways a phone call away when I had a question or concern. No matter what the opposing counsel tried to do Steve always seemed to out maneuver them. Steve's experience, knowledge of the law, and his litigation skills are exceptional. Our case eventually went to a jury trial...we won! The opposing side appealed...we won! The opposing side finally settled when they ran out of options. The result of the case was a payday of over a half a million dollars. This NEVER would have happened if Steve Churchill did not take my case 5 years earlier. He stood beside us the entire time and was ready to fight the good fight. I cannot say enough about Steve. He changed my life. Steve is passionate about fairness in the workplace. I can make one statement with absolute certainty...If you do not hire Steve Churchill as your attorney today you will wish you did tomorrow.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
