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.

Very Pleased Client

When I came to Mr. Ockerman I was trying to complete a the separation and divorce process on my own with difficulty. My concern with turning to an attorney to take over the process would delay the matter while they went back to begin from square one. I was very surprised by the immediate response to ...my case and that they started working on it right away. Any question I had received immediate response even e-mails that were sent outside normal business hours. Mr. Ockerman and his staff moved swiftly and were very accommodating and responsive to my requests. As someone that has never had to go through something like this before, it was such a relief to know that my case was given the attention and care that I needed to have good peace of mind.

Professional, Knowledgement and Accessible

In February 2012 I had a consultation with Steven Ockerman regarding separation from my husband. Mr. Ockerman was very informative and I felt very comfortable talking with him about personal reasons of wanting this separation. Mr. Ockerman showed much concern and was very caring. A year later, aft...er separating from my husband, I emailed Mr. Ockerman as I wanted to file a legal separation and divorce proceedings. Mr. Ockerman knew exactly who I was and emailed me right away. I filed for both separation and divorce and it was done quicky and professionally. I also had to email Mr. Ockerman many times and he always answered my emails promptly. Mr. Ockerman is honest, knowledgement, always there to help.

Highly recommended...

Mr. Ockerman represented my mother in a divorce case. He was very helpful and responsive, willing to work through some difficult challenges in the case,and was very professional. He is mindful of the circumstances surrounding the situation at hand as well as objective facts. I have worked with severa...l attorneys in the past and have found his services to be more than satisfactory and his advice to be sound.

I am glad I had Steve to represent me

I believe I am the only client who does not live in the US nor a Citizen of this country. For years I had been seeking to get in touch with my son who was brought by my wife from India when we went through a divorce. It had been a long a tedious search through the embassy of India and the US to trace... them in the state of NC. I travelled to the US from Saudi Arabia when I work in the hope of seeing my son after seven long years. To my surprise my ex-wife refused to allow me to see my son and instead filed a false complaint in the court that I had come to Kidnap my son and take him away. This sounds so silly as no one can take away a smart eleven year old boy out of this country without a passport. I got in touch with the lawyer referral service and from there I was directed to see Mr. Steve. After a very patient hearing on the phone Steve offered his best advice and still recommended me to find a mutual understanding with my ex-wife. I insisted that I visit his office and see him in person to which he gladly agreed. I have to say that my first meeting with him was enough to convience me that he is the best guy to take my case. It has been a long a tedious process which Steve and I went through and the hard work brought results where on my second visit to the US and my first court appearance the Judge ordered my ex-wife to prepare my son to meet me in ten minutes time. The feeling of seeing my son after seven long years cannot be explained in words but can only be felt. Me and my son had a wonderful time together in Charlotte and since then I was able to establish a relationship with my son. Still the court process is on and I am hopefull to get positive results. I am sure Steve is ready and so am I. We both will embark on this long journey to achieve what we aimed for will surely achieve.
