Awsome Law Firm
Steve and his firm handled my worker's comp and social security disability case. Everyone in the firm was fantastic. Answered calls and emails in a timely manner. Answered and explained all of my questions and concerns thoroughly. Worker's comp and social security can be overwhelming when your not familiar with the system, Steve's firm goes a long way to ease that burden.
