Review Steven J Karch

Steven Karch, Esq. - consummate professional

If we had to do it all over again, it would be with Steven Karch. Mr. Karch represented my son for his very ugly divorce and myself for criminal charges related to this exceptionally nasty matrimonial situation. Many can know the letter of the law. Few seem to be able to steer clients safely past the shoals of disaster as effectively as Mr. Karch. Do not be deceived by his calm demeanor. He is a consummate negotiator, and very adept at keeping the appropriate focus for the situation in the face of terrible emotional upheaval. He does not promise pie in the sky, but very methodically sets forth actions and outcomes, then dispassionately counsels clients, keeping inflamed emotions out of the business equation. With Steven Karch's wise counsel, my son and I survived this awful experience relatively intact, and we have made a permanent trusting association with Mr. Karch for all our legal work going forward.

Working with Mr. Karch was an absolute pleasure. He was extremely patient, kind, supportive, knowledgeable, and kept us informed every step of the way. His response time was extremely quick, and he was exceptionally thorough. There were absolutely no surprises at any point during the process. If you need a lawyer, chances are you are already under some degree of stress. Aside from his legal knowledge, Mr. Karch alleviated so much of our stress by being a genuinely kind human being. I would recommend his services to anyone.

Steven handled a straight-forward divorce for me. Straight-forward to a lawyer, perhaps, but not to me. Nevertheless, Steven and the staff at the Rotolo Law Firm made what had the potential to be a tortuous and painful situation for me into a straight-forward process. He pointed out the dangers, and laid out the pros and cons of options without pushing one decision over another. And though I know my case probably wasn't the be-all and end-all for him, I never once felt as if it didn’t receive all necessary care and due diligence.

Mr. Karch was extremely helpful handling our legal situation. Even as things changed midway through, nothing fazed him and he helped us get what was best for our family. I could never thank him enough for the job he did.

The best!

I recently hired Steven for a case that I thought I could never win and neither did anyone else. But this man did more than anyone thought could be done! He is very knowledgable and just seemed to work magic to win this case. He was honest, kept me well informed, told me all my options, worked so hard for me and my son, I will never use another lawyer and will recommend him to anyone. He is easy to talk to and he makes sure to get all the info so he can as well informed as possible. I cannot thank him enough for what he did, it amazed me and I think very highly of him. I recommend him for any case.

This was my 3rd and last attorney. An honest lawyer - a hard find. He was fair and never a snake. Kept me well informed and knew what he was talking about. Did not "blow smoke up my a$$". I have kept him for all my post divorce issues after the first two attorney's screwed me.

Steve is a no-nonsense attorney who works incredibly hard to get his matters resolved fairly. We recently had a difficult case together but his pro-active attitude kept things on track and allowed the parties avoid a costly trial.
