About Steven
Biography
We understand that finding the right attorney is critical and would welcome the opportunity to assess your situation, answer your questions, and explain our ability to help -- even if that means helping you find an attorney with more expertise related to your legal matter. We believe that everyone should have access to legal counsel.
We specialize in Consumer Protection (disputes with builders/contractors, vehicle dealerships, etc.), Landlord & Tenant (evictions, security deposit disputes, etc.), Family Law (custody, visitation, support, divorce, prenups, postnups, etc.) Defamation, and Business Litigation, but would be delighted to speak with you about any legal matter.
Each legal matter is unique and requires an individualized approach, specialized expertise, and an ability to adapt to external conditions. Whether your issue requires a few hours of our attention or a few years, we will always work to give you practical solutions and honest advice.
Practical Solutions
To determine the most practical solution, we help you analyze the following factors to determine the optimal way to proceed:
Honest Advice
We expect you to rely on our experience, so you will always get an honest answer. If your case looks very promising, that is what we will tell you. If your case looks to be very challenging, that is what we will tell you. Most cases are somewhere in the middle, so we will help you assess your situation.
For Everyone
Too often, people forgo adequate legal counsel because they cannot find an appropriate counselor to help them navigate our legal system. No legal matter is trivial -- especially if this is your first substantial encounter with our legal system. If you think we may be able to assist you, please contact us. Even if you are fairly certain that your legal matter is outside of our practice areas, we are willing to help you find a qualified attorney.
Practical Solutions

- Harm you suffered (your damages);
- Likelihood you will win (the merits of your case);
- Cost to recover your damages (time, emotional, and financial); and
- Likelihood of collecting your damages from the opposing party if you win.

Excellent Outcome To A Complex Legal Issue
