Highly recommended

Steve has been our attorney since we moved to the area 20 years ago. We have used him for real-estate settlements and other needs, and have recommended him to others. He's knowledgeable, accommodating, and always happy to answer questions.

Great Attoney

I would recommend Steve Carr to anybody he is a great attorney, he definitely knows the law, he helped me through everything I was going through. When you have to go through certain situations like I did I didn't know if I would ever see light it's embarrassing and belittling but he helped me through... and took all the weight off of my shoulders his prices are reasonable again I would recommend him 100% to anybody super great person thank you Steve Carr.

Steven M. Carr

Mr. Carr was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and provided me with much needed direction without being jugemental. His answers to my questions were very thorough; he was very professional and straight forward, but sincerely empathetic and I was very, very impressed with him.

Professional and Caring Attorney

Steve Carr embodies the highest of ethical standards and is a man you can trust with difficult and sensitive issues. He listens, doesn't judge and treats you as if you are his only client. I was a bit apprehensive about making the initial call but after speaking with Attorney Carr, I'm so glad I did....

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Steve is one of the best bankruptcy attorneys in York. He was a great mentor to me when I was first learning bankruptcy law back in the mid-90s - and he likes to joke that he taught me everything that I know - but not everything that he knows. He's also very down to earth and easy to talk to. I continue to refer my business bankruptcy cases to him, since I do not handle those, as well as any cases that are conflicts for me. I have used his real estate services personally and send real estate matters to him as well. I cannot speaker more highly of him."

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.
