Find another lawyer who will really help you! This is NOT THE ONE!

TERRIBLE! Once paid he has no interest in your case. Extremely distant in communications, does not return call or emails unless sent over and over again. Does not prepare you for any court appearance, even he himself is not prepared. Does not listen to you and loses or mishandles paperwork you give h...im. Any paperwork you give him, whether it be photos or written he barely or does not even look at. Aside from charging a fee much higher than others for this service, he shows and obviously has NO INTEREST in your successful outcome. FIND A LAWYER WHO WILL HELP YOU, JEFFREY STEINFELD IS NOT THE ONE

Best lawyer I hired, hands down!

I am not fan of leaving reviews, but it's just fair to do the right thing and say that Jeff is the best lawyer I have hired. His approach is simple and clear (no lawyer language), he set expectations from day one, so no surprises down the road, proactive and extremely smart.
