Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have had a professional relationship with Steve for appx 15 years. During that time we have handled many cases in which we were on opposite sides. He is an excellent advocate for his clients. His trial skills are top shelf. He is honest and trustworthy and a credit to the Matrimonial Bar. I have also found him to be a voice of reason. I highly endorse this lawyer."

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.
