Divorce

I remember making the call to Steve. I was nervous and afraid that no one would hear me and care about what I was going through. Steve spent about an hour with me on the phone just listening to my situation; that was enough for me to retain Steve as my attorney for my divorce. I needed to be heard y...et I also needed to feel protected. Steve not only provided all those with his tremendous amount of compassion but his professionalism, prompt return of calls and emails, his expertise in the laws for divorce, and his preparation and presentation for the mediation and trial was impeccable. My gratitude toward Steve, his office staff, and his assistant Katy, will never be forgotten. I would highly recommend Steve Reilly as he is truly an outstanding person as well as an attorney.

Divorce

In May 2016 I met with Steve to interview him for my divorce. I had interviewed many other attorneys and knew that Steve was the attorney for me. He listened and gave me great advise on what needed to be done going forward. Steve always remained calm when I would become emotional and I greatly apprec...iated this in his personality. Steve, was meticulous in documentation, honest and well prepared in all aspects of my divorce. He always keep me updated with phone calls and emails. I have high admiration for Steve for the long hours and hard work he did for me. He went above and beyond for my divorce. His representation in court was strong and powerful. Steve, is kind, considerate, respectful and most of all he listened to all of my concerns. It was a long, hard 3 years but my end results were worth it. I really appreciate his kindness, caring and dedication to me. Also, a Thank You to Katy, his assistant, for all of her hard work. It is my pleasure to Highly recommend Steve Reilly. You will not be disappointed. Thank you

Professional & Experienced

I want to sincerely thank Steve Reilly for his outstanding work on my child custody case. I'm a father who desperately need to win custody of my adolescent son from an irresponsible alcoholic mother. The reality is that most courts are biased toward the mother, so I was very unsure of my chances even... with police video of her drunken behavior. Steve's preparation was meticulous and extremely well documented. His extensive courtroom experience was undeniably the best I've ever seen. He was professional, articulate, confident, well prepared and unflappable in presentation of my case and interpretation of the pertinent legal issues in play. As a result, my son is now in a much safer environment, a happy teenager, and thriving in his new situation! Steve - Thank You, you've made a big difference in our lives!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Steve is a highly ethical, sharp lawyer who works hard for his clients. I have had many cases with him over the years where he has been opposing counsel. I have always found him to be professional, friendly, and a strong advocate for his clients. When I am unable to represent a potential client, for whatever reason, I refer clients to him without reservation. This speaks volumes of Steve as a lawyer as I would never refer a client to someone whom I did not believe would work hard for their interests."
