Honest and very helpful

Steven did an excellent work up for my worker's compensation claim! He is an honest lawyer and listened to my perspective of the situation. I believe he represented me very fairly and stayed to the facts; acted without bias. Thank you for representing me, Steven. If I need legal services in the futur...e I'll certainly give your office a call. Your assistant, Phyllis, was very helpful, kind and on top of my claim.

Best injury attorney in Atlanta!

Attorney Gardner and his assistant Maria have been excellent helping me though my claims. They successfully recovered for me on a worker's compensation claim and they are currently working on an auto injury claim. They are professional and dedicated in what they do! I absolutely recommend attorney St...even W. Gardner!

Posted by Lisa | February 04, 2015 | Slip and Fall Accident

Treated Like a Person, Not a Case.

Working with Sandra Vasquez on my slip and fall case made the unfamiliar process so much easier. She patiently listened to me and answered all my questions. My lack of knowledge of the legal process was embarrassing to me at times, but Sandra was always understanding and courteous. Her down to ear...th and, at times, humorous responses were a breath of fresh air! Communication was prompt, whether it was by phone or e-mail. Mr. Gardner is not only knowledgeable of the law, but more importantly, he's savvy to how people think (ie: the insurance company, a jury, etc.) and what they base their decisions on. He showed me a side to my case that was instrumental in helping me come to a settlement decision. As a plus, he's a very pleasant man to speak with. (Not stuffy like I assumed attorneys to be! ) Overall, although I am not happy about getting injured and going through this whole ordeal, I am pleased with my decision to hire Mr. Gardner and his team to handle my case and would do so again if the need arose,

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
