This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Deeply Trusted. Highly Professional.

I have used Steven Riker as my personal attorney for more than twenty years and have found him to be of the highest caliber. A trusted and respected counselor, Mr. Riker is a paragon for what a lawyer should be – professional, client-conscious, results-driven and reliable. His expertise is only eclip...sed by his attention to detail and client service. I highly recommend his services.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
