Knowledgeable and patient

Steve helped me through the purchase of my new home. I appreciated his patience with me through the process and found his advice to be invaluable. I had heard stories about how long closings can take but found Steve to be extremely efficient in the process. I found him very knowledgeable about the... entire process and would not hesitate to use him again - and recommend that others do as well!

review for Steve

Steve has always been there for me, no matter what question I have. I asked him to be my Lawyer almost 3 years ago, after my father died. He did the estate, and then helped me set up a LLC., he also did a closing on a house for us. He is very well rounded and I trust him.

Excellent Estate Planning Attorney

Stephen Withers helped us to draft and execute our Wills, Trusts and Healthcare Proxies. He was extremely thorough, professional and responsive throughout the entire process. Our knowledge of these documents was elementary, and he took the extra time to make sure we understood each document's conte...nt and purpose. We would highly recommend this skilled attorney!

Excellent Communication, Knowledge, and Efficiency - Highly Recommend!

I used Stephen to set up a private LLC. Stephen was excellent to work with. His vast knowledge made for a smooth and efficient process. Stephen took the time to answer all my questions and was flexible enough to work around my schedule. He communicated well throughout the process and followed up ...with me afterwards. I highly recommend Stephen, and plan on using him again for all my future business needs.

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.
