Supportive, knowledgeable and kind

Steve was there for me during a really difficult time with solid advice, realistic expectations and kindness. I really feel that he did all that he could for me and appreciate his hard work.

Representation in Bankrutcy

We were very happy with Stephen, he was very attentive and always explained what was happening, and what to expect down the road. He made an uncomfortable situation very easy to get thru. We would recommend him to anyone who needed legal help.,

Was very helpful!

I recently ran into a foreclosure situation and I was referred to Mr. Albee for assistance. We met for a consultation (free) and he spent a good deal of time looking my information over and then discussing how he could help me. He did not rush me at all. He was very fair in his pricing, and he was ab...le to reach a resolution for me a very short matter of time and I am now back on track and in no fear of losing my property. I would highly recommend Mr. Albee and would most certainly use his services again, should the need ever arise.

Peer review

Steve is a great resource when it comes to bankruptcy. He is always willing to take the time to answer a question I may have on one of my cases. He always responds right away and has a wealth of knowledge in his area of practice. I have recommended his services to a couple of my clients and I would h...ighly recommend him to anyone needing assistance in a bankruptcy matter.

Foreclosure lawyer | Aug 27

Relationship: Co-worker

"I endorse this lawyer. I worked with Steve at Jacksonville Area Legal Aid and was sad to have him leave. He was one fo the brightest lawyers in our firm. JALA's loss is the private bar's gain--and the clients who hire him. Clients who hire Steve will get a competent lawyer who pays attention to detail and to his clients' needs. With the bad economy and that local law school pumping out 100s of new lawyers, many lawyers are entering the area of foreclosure defense. However, many of them are not very experienced or proficient in this area. Steve is both. He knows the process very well."
