A Steady Hand

Steven Certilman was hired my my HOA in 2011 to replace what we thought was an overpriced and innefective counsel. It has proven to be one of the best decisions our Board has made. As a member of the Board and subsequently its President, I have always found Steve to be very responsive to any of my... querries and always honest in his assessment of how to handle the various problems that crop up in managing an HOA. He has always made himself availible to attend any of our meetings and played an instrumental role in helping our Board recoup a very large amount of money that was owed to us by a resident in arrears. Steve is always professional in how he handles things and we are a much stronger HOA having him work on our behalf. He is always honest and he provides us with superior counsel at a reasonable rate. I reccommend him enthusiastically.

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.
