Face with a tortious compliance audit, Mr. Wallace wrote a computer program to data mine over 10K medical records for easy and thorough reports.

When I see this rating it breaks my heart and makes me pretty angry at our system. I have known Steve for 10 years. He has represented me on multiple issues over the years and he is also my friend. I went through the time with him early on in his career when he had complaints to the bar and the bar d...

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2011.
Censure issued in NC, 2011
updated on 10/27/2021This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
“Same Wake Co. case. No judge, lawyer and especially client has ever complained about my work, here simply two defendants retaliated in the only way they knew how; by reporting errors. This in no way reduces my culpability, but does offer perspective to those viewing my credential solely through the AVVO ratings system. This case inspired my drive for more education and experience.”
Reprimand issued in NC, 2009
updated on 05/19/2020Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
“Wake Co. case, which lasted over 5 years with 22 Plaintiff motions, 19 Defendants' motions, 6 judges, 4 investigations by state and federal agencies and the Plaintiff winning the final litigation. Everyone lost something here, especially me. In 2005, no law existed protecting pre-foreclosure homeowners from businesses offering credit repair or rescue though equity shifting and straw buyers. The Defendants' business and the mortgage broker providing over 1.2m in bogus home loans no longer exist.”
