Best Family Attorney
Steve represented me in a complicated custody case. I got represented by 4 attorneys during a 4 year litigation and I interviewed more than 20 attorneys. Steve stood out because he is human, he listens, he is ethical. Many attorneys are afraid of doing the right thing because they don’t want to have conflicts with their peers and judges. Steve did the right thing is such a graceful manner that he was able to calm down everybody’s animosity (including mine). I will always thank you for helping me give my daughter a better opportunity.

"Alimony forever" finally gone!
I highly recommend Steve Spann with the Orshan Law Group. I was suffering the heavy burden of “alimony forever,” but after much “investigating” to find the right people to represent me, finally found them. Where the law is still being debated in Tallahassee, my legal representation very successfully argued my case, resulting (appropriately) in the termination of my alimony payments. The judge even agreed to the reimbursement of my alimony paid since the date of the filing of my law suit more than a year before. This was especially wonderful because it cancelled out my ex-wife’s efforts to delay the trial so she would continue to receive alimony payments as long as possible. I was very pleased by Steve’s representation.

Law and compassion combined.
I retained this law firm for it's reputation and experience. I had a very complicated situation. Steve was extremely professional and compassionate and was there and is still there for me as it has been a most difficult life changing time in my life. I'm glad he was representing me as that I feel that without his expertise and knowledge in divorce and family law I would still be stumbling through the process. I feel like he will always be helping me to make the best for my future.

Steve Spann family law attorney Review
I was extremely impressed with Steve's response to our case - in specific, 1) how he has answered false allegations made by the opposing counsel (client) in an expeditious manner. He kept his cool and answered the other attorney in a very professional manner, unlike the other attorney that tried character assassinations. 2) how Steve has filed motions with the court in a timely and professional manner. Steve has filed motions with the client's best interest at heart and, very important, he keeps you informed. You don't have to constantly ask what the status is or wonder what needs to be done. 3) the trial catalog he has put together for the trial. Even the judge was extremely impressed that she wished to keep it for her library. 4) how he conducted the cross examination - like a bulldog. It was so perfect that the ruling was a victory in favor of Steve's client. We have highly recommended Steve to other people - I only hope they took our advise.
