Very compassionate

Mr. Palme' is a amazing attorney. Really puts you first and goes above and beyond for his clients. I used him for a custody case and I as the father won. I recieved the best possible out come for my child and it allowed me to be a fulltime father. I would recommend Mr. Palme' for anyone seeking a hon...est and trustworthy attorney.

Steve Palme' - Help Through and After a Difficult Divorce

I found Steve in 2008 from "the phone book." He helped me get through a difficult divorce, and guided me through a corresponding, and more challenging, equitable distribution agreement. Steve continues to help me "enforce" the terms of the agreement to a resistant ex-spouse. Steve is extremely kn...owledgeable, hard-working, responsive, honest, and supportive. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone needing legal help with divorce and equitable distribution agreements...including any enforcements, if necessary.

A Man of His Word

Mr. Palme handled my case with sympathy, integrity and made the grueling process bearable. I felt that both my daughter and I were in the hands of a professional and the outcome was the best that I could have hoped for at the time. He is very familiar with domestic violence which made me feel at ease... and understood. I would recommend his expertise to anyone dealing with domestic/ custody issues. I am planning on working with him again soon.

Avvo Rating

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.
