Amazing time, Recommended.

Stephen ensures you understand your alternatives and how they apply to your situation. The prompt responses and explanations are appreciated; he saved me from great trouble. I would suggest him to everyone as he is the best one can ever find for a legal suit and advice.

I appreciate the firm's clarity, professionalism

I had a challenging situation with my landlord regarding the completion of relocation expenses. Desperate times, right? I contacted the Law Offices of Stephen P. Levesque, and to my surprise– they called me back within a day! Mr. Levesque provided a comprehensive phone consultation, guiding me throug...h the necessary steps before considering legal action. His expertise and willingness to assist without an immediate commitment to legal representation were commendable. His advice made me way savvier in handling the situation and might even save me a bunch in legal fees. I appreciate the firm's clarity, professionalism, and genuine concern. When the need arises for legal counsel in real estate matters, I will undoubtedly turn to the Law Offices of Stephen P. Levesque.

My case was handled well

Mr. Levesque is a very passionate and hard-working lawyer. I've never had to deal with someone who has been more proactive in court, which I really appreciate being a new attorney. He was extremely attentive and understanding of what I was going through. He guided me through the process and made sure... every aspect of my case was handled well. My results were flawless, and I have already been referring people to him for legal advice

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.
