Outstanding Support!
My project team and I had some fairly extensive challenges in negotiating and documenting a strategic alliance with the owner of certain complementary technology. Steve worked tirelessly to put together a crystal clear strategic alliance agreement that comprehensively addressed the parties' concerns, rights and responsibilities, particularly in the area of intellectual property ownership. Although Steve is one of the busiest and hardest working professionals I know, he always made time to answer my questions.

Outstanding Legal Advice
Steve handled my service-related legal issues, which included a large number and variety of NDAs, negotiations, and agreements with my most important vendors and major account customers. Not only did Steve master and overcome the most complex and nettlesome legal concerns arising from these transactions, but he brought keen business acumen, a profound understanding of my business needs, and, perhaps most importantly, just plain common sense, in guiding me to successful outcomes with these vendors and customers. Steve always made himself available to answer my questions, or bounce something off of him, no matter how busy he was.

Unprofessional lawyer
This is the worst firm that I have ever had to deal with. The simple task of getting great customer service and legal assistance is far removed from this one man firm. I paid Steven Becker, $450.00 to form a business for me. Steven Becker was referred to me from Legal Shield. Legal Shield is appalled how this man is less than professional. I paid Steven Becker in September, 2023 and it is now November, 2023 and I have yet to receive my refund for services not provided. I paid in advance and I have not heard from this man once the money has been received. After two weeks of not receiving a response since paying with my credit card, I requested a full refund. I still did not receive a call back. I called his office many times to an answering service answering his calls. This is where I learned that he have no employees. It is a one man company. Why would a one man company pay for an answering service to answer his calls? That says a lot. Steven Becker does not intend to answer his calls because he knows that he is less than reputable, honest and of good character. I have left many messages and he has since emailed me to let me know that he has sent a certified mail with my check. This man is very dishonest. Certified mail does not take two months. Not even snail mail. He finally emailed me with a very nasty email shown below, "I sent your refund to you by certified mail, return receipt requested to the address you provided last week. I am taking no further action on this. Feel free to escalate if you wish. Please remember that under the Letter of Engagement you signed, it is clear that your payment is earned when made and is not refundable. However, I refunded it anyway even though I had no obligation to do so". Steven Becker, Esq. Becker Law, LLC One West Court Square Suite 750 Decatur, Georgia 30030 404.777.1657 [email protected] beckerlawllc.com Steven Becker tries to use the law to defend his dishonesty. If you take money under the pretense of providing service, you must provide the service and refund the monies. He doesn't deserve any referrals or stars. I had to pick a star to post. Don't hire this one man company.
