Review - Steve Ockerman

I would definitely recommend Steve for anyone going through the extremely difficult time of divorce/separation. Steve proved to be very knowledgeable in several areas we had to deal with such as child support, custody and division of assets. I felt like Steve was responsive to all my questions and su...ccessfully navigated me through all legal matters during this tumultuous time. Most importantly, Steve was empathetic to the situation and helped me understand the entire process, while protecting my interests. I felt like Steve got me through and settled issues efficiently, professionally and in a practical manner. In the end, I felt like Steve helped me obtain the best outcome that could be expected for my situation. Thank you Steve.

Lucky to Find Steve

I found Steve by chance through a referral and he ended up being the best thing that happened to me and I have referred him to about 4 friends now going through a divorce (unfortunately). They have all raved about him and thanked me for referring them. I had a very uncomplicated divorce and Stev...e did his best to keep things simple, advise me in some areas but did not pressure me into making decisions I wasn't comfortable with. He was fair in his billing and was very responsive to emails and phone calls. When things got a little tense he was right there to fight with me to get things back on track quickly.

The Number One Attorney in North Carolina

Mr. Ockerman is extremly knowledgeable! He knows the laws and if by chance he did not know something, which is rare, he always reseached what he may have not known. You know people have negative reviews about who did a job for them, but always remember that your hearing from someone that gave the n...egative review and I have found its not the attorneys fault. Clients do not listen to their attorneys. I know this for a fact, during my divorce my x-husband did not listen to his attorney and asked his attorney to do things that were not applicable in the court room. He bad mouth both of his attorneys, as the first one had to let him go. Mr. Ockerman is a excellant attorney. He is very trustworthy. If I lived in North Carolina and needed a attorney I would always use Mr. Ockerman. Even living in Ohio I would still ask for his advise to this day! 1

Fabulous Attorney!

I have had my fair share of dealings with attorneys over the years and Steve is undeniably the best attorney I have ever had! He has represented me for the past year & a half with child custody issues as well as creating a prenuptial agreement before my wedding. Steve is very approachable & has alway...s been available to discuss/respond to any questions or concerns as they arise. In fact, he even responded to my emails while he was on summer vacation with his family! He could clearly tell I was concerned & wanted an answer sooner rather than later by the tone of my email. None of this waiting days/weeks for a response like some other attorneys I have dealt with in the past. Steve & his paralegal understand the sense of urgency & will get back to you right away. I know that he is always going to look out for my best interests. Having an attorney that you can trust is HUGE. With Steve you will get just that!
