Reliability and caring are great attributes.

Steve represented me in two different child custody cases. The outcome was what was fair and expected. Even having questions when he was unavailable, Steve would call and discuss my cases on his drive home. My respect went so far as to refer some in-laws and their family members , who were also happy... with the final results. I even called him earlier this evening to discuss a close friends awkward situation. I am sure I will hear from him tomorrow concerning this situation.

Steve Tabano is the best family attorney!

Steve Tabano is a reliable, honest and compassionate attorney. He took on my support, child custody and my divorce. He would never sugar coat things but he also stood up for me during the very emotional parts of my case. He fought hard for my daughter and for myself and his focus has always been on m...y child, not "winning" or getting even. He helped in my custody case by making sure that my daughter will be in a very safe environment when she is not in my custody. He also helped me with all of my child support needs and made the entire divorce process relatively stress free. I was able to receive alimony and kept my health insurance for two years. I highly recommend him, he is down to earth, honest and compassionate. His focus is not on money, but on helping others. He is the best! I never want to work with any other attorney.

Honesty

Attorney Tabano represents my daughter in a custody case. He is very aware of her/our concerns and addresses them in a professional and timely manner.

Posted by Charles | August 06, 2014 | Child Custody

Very Happy with Mr. Tabano and his abilities

I am very pleased with the work Mr. Tabano has done. My custody, support and divorce issues were a little odd in some regards and Mr. Tabano was able to navigate through so many scenarios with professionalism and respect for all the parties involved. Keeping me informed on progress and task managemen...t was paramount for me and Mr. Tabano excelled in this area as well.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Attorney Tabano is a skilled and experienced attorney who won't shy away from a necessary fight, but who will always look for less contentious alternatives to cut through the red tape and get the job done. Some lawyers like to play ego games and grandstand on their clients' dime, but you won't get that from him. I consider him a respected colleague, and an honorable opponent."
