My wife was seriously injuried by a DUI driver. We were referred to Steve by our Aunt (out of state attorney) and neighbor, who had used him years ago. We had initially contacted Steve through email and he was very professional, responsive and helpful. We knew we made the right decision when we met him face to face. Steve treated us like family and very patiently answered all of our questions. Throughout the entire process of working through the insurance companies, Steve kept us up to date with progress reports and was always available to answer our several email and phone calls . We would highly recommend Steve if you are in need of an attorney.
