Executional job

My lawyer, Dane, was very professional and understood well my concern. I felt that he was able to represent and interpret my position as if it had happened to him. Every part of the litigation was well written and expressed my sentiment beyond what I imagined it would take. When it came down to court... representation he was also very well prepared and defended my stance with clarity. If you are looking for someone to hear your concern, explain to you clearly what he can and cannot do for you, take his time to proceed and represent you with a strong stance, Dane Steffenson is your attorney.

Above and Beyound

Working with a Lawyer like Dane Steffenson has been truly wonderful experience day after day. Prior to meeting Dane, we went through many big firm Attorneys where it was all about billable hours and talking with group of Layers for same exact things. Basically, I could see why clients hate working wi...th big firms when it comes to representing, protecting and fighting to save the livelihood of the families. Over these couple of years, we are proud to be with Dane for our legal fight. We are learning to build our own insights into the case, so we use that as a valuable knowledge for the life of a business. I feel Dane teaches his clients and works on the case empowering and being realistic as it takes twists and turns along the way. Under his leadership, we are reenergized, re-motivated and revitalized which is an asset we would hardly find somewhere. Dane’s model of legal representation without involving too many lawyers at a low cost is an asset we could ever find anywhere.

  • 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.
