This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Complete Trust

I have had the privilege to work with Steve on various civil matters. Steve has a multitude of qualities that make him a fantastic attorney and they are centered on trust and competence. Steve is honest, thorough, diligent, balanced, hard working, practical, approachable, compassionate, and incre...dibly intelligent. In my profession I work with attorneys on a regular basis. Over the last 22 years it's exposed me to no less than 250 attorneys from various firms, large, small, and all over the United States. Great attorneys always consult you on matters within their competency and they always refer you to others when a matter is outside their expertise. I trust Steve and his knowledge implicitly. Slaven Law is my choice for civil matters in New Jersey.

  • 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.
