Great Attorney in Rhode Island

Stephen helped out my family in a time of need. I never expected an attorney to respond to our calls so quickly. He really went above and beyond and solved our problem. His office was caring and very professional. We had seen two other attorneys who couldn't give us a straight answer. they reall...y didnt care. Stephen was honest from the start. And even though our case got very complicated he never quit. He hung in there until we were finished. Since then he has helped my brother and mother. He will always be my familys lawyer. Well that's it. Hope this helps someone else.

So happy I called him!

Attorney Levesque returned my call on the same day that I called his office, and he gave me the advice I needed. After listening to Steve on his radio show on WPRO on Sunday mornings, I felt comfortable talking with him. He strikes me as down-to-earth, humble, and knowledgeable. If you have a legal q...uestion, consider giving him a call for a prompt response.

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.
