Saved my life

I am writing this because I was once in your shoes. Researching a lawyer that made me feel like I could breathe again. Reading reviews and thinking “okay is this individual the right one.” Mr. Sico who I now call Steve was referred to me by another attorney who advised me “your case is above m...y head.” I called Steve and immediately felt relief. I remember saying this is the one. Steve picked up on things that no other attorney found, he asked questions and provided paths that no one else recommended. I was in a dark place, my world was completely upside down. Unbeknownst to me, I was involved in a “flip home” with con-artists who purposely left me holding the bag. When Steve found out how low I was in my life, he immediately protected me. I cried in his office the first time I met him in person, I was completely broken. He told to “enjoy the weekend and don’t even think about this situation.” I was in shock because for months this was all I thought about. Let me tell you, I enjoyed my weekend for the first time. Steve and Connie both checked in on me regularly, not as client, as a friend. He truly cares about his clients and he fights for them. He would contact me with information and I would listen to him, trusting his guidance. I remember one proposed deal and I wasn’t completely happy but I said to myself “okay, we have to do this.” Steve knew I wasn’t completely happy. And I now know Steve wasn’t happy with it either. Steve never expressed this to me, he just fought. A few weeks later he called me and told me the new deal, the one we originally wanted. I wanted to hug him through the phone (even in a covid pandemic). All he said to me was “Valerie, enjoy your weekend.” Heck my weekend, MY LIFE. I was originally going to wait to write this review until the case was done. Although I know I don’t need to because he will fight for the outcome I deserve. I trust him that much. In closing I want to express if you are reading this and you are also in that dark place, CALL STEVE. I’ve been there, scared and innocent, with no direction because nothing prepped me for the evil in this world. I hope this review reaches you because this truly is the review I needed to see a year ago. I can’t thank Steve enough, he saved my life. I also can’t leave out Connie, because that sweet soul would check on me too!

Great attorney, Great office staff

Steven Sico helped my family during a trying time. Mr. Sico and his staff were always available for our questions, took their time with us and always got back to us immediately. Mr. Sico laid out legally what would happen and it happened just the way he prepared us for. I highly recommend Mr. Sico... and his staff.

Personable, caring, knowlegeable and a fighter.

Steve Sico was recommended to me by my attorney after I had suffered a devastating business loss several years ago. I was told his expertise and knowledge would serve me well in saving assets and not chasing losses. I contacted Steve and after a lengthy consultation, left with some specific advice an...d directions that would help while we worked on a Plan "B" that would be much more aggressive and final. Steve's advice was spot on, and saved me years of trouble and helped set the stage for the recovery now underway. We never needed to go further into more involved proceedings. I could not have asked for better guidance or a more capable and caring attorney. We lost touch for several years, but I had not forgotten how he had helped me. Several weeks ago, a family member came to me for help with a very involved legal issue with a 48 hour court deadline. I saw it was in the range of matters that Steve and I had discussed and called to leave a message right away. I'd hoped to be in time with the deadline. I was stunned when my call was returned within the half hour, from out of state, and Steve was ready to get involved and help. In the course of the conversation, he remembered me and my situation and we were able to share some comic moments over the years between. Still so very personal and caring. In the following days, Steve spent hours fighting deadlines, filing documents and negotiating with some serious opposition to help a struggling business in real trouble to have time to meet it's potential. Much of this was done after hours and from a distance. He was ultimately successful in reaching an agreement that would allow the business time to work through towards profitability. All they needed was a chance, and Steve helped get them that chance. Based on the quantity and quality of worked produced, everyone agreed that the fee was a bargain. Steve said he would see it through, and he did. In forty eight hours. With a Plan "B" just in case it had to get tough. They didn't need the Plan "B" either. I'm very grateful for the services to myself and my family and can not recommend Steve more highly to anyone in need of his expertise. He listens, he's personable and caring and he's a fighter for his clients.

Excellent Lawyer

Steve represented my husband and I in a bankruptcy case. He was very knowledgeable and was with us every step of the process. He made us feel comfortable with some of the hard decisions we had to make. We were very pleased in every aspect. Highly recommended.
