A very positive experience

Stephen Sullivan, my lawyer, is an honorable, intelligent person who conscientiously communicated and worked with me, his client. I was very satisfied with his representation of my needs.

GREAT EXPERIENCE

Stephen worked on my case. I found him to be really good. He guided and helped me through the entire case. He kept me posted with the latest. He is very patient and accommodating. His staff is also very helpful and great. He has a great team. Thank You Stephen.

Very Pleased and Satisfied

I contacted Keefe Bartels after my accident and was assigned to Mr. Sullivan. He went to work for me right away and kept me informed of the process. He is very knowledgeable, competent and overall a great communicator. Always answered my questions and called back when I left a msge or emailed him. ...I feel he really cared about the situation and was very interested in how I was feeling and doing. I recommend Mr. Sullivans services without hesitation.

Curto vs. Briarwood Care and Rehabilitaton Facility

Mr. Sullivan was very competent and thorough in pursuing a case of Wrongful Death in the case of my brother, Frank Curto who was a patient at the Briarwood Care Facility when he passed away on January 24, 2010 after being neglected by the staff while he cried out repeatedly for help. He was 62 and m...entally and physically disabled, totally dependent on the staff.

We felt we were in great hands with Mr. Sullivan and trusted him completely. We would absolutely contact him if we n...eeded his services again. We feel he cared about our situation and was kind and genuinely interested in how we were doing. We recommend Mr. Sullivan's services without hesitation.

  • 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.
