Very Dissatisfied

I hired Stephen Schwartz to do a Probate Case and paid him additional fees for him to clear the Deed by removing my mother's name from the Property, and he never did it. When I informed him that he was not done with the work and that my mother's name still appeared on the Property as a co-owner, he b...latantly told me that he was done, and that I needed to move on. I told him that the job I paid him for was not completed but he refused to follow through, and I ended up going to the Court House myself, paying for getting the Certified Copy of the Order of Discharge, having it Recorded, and obtaining the Book/Page number the Office of Appraisal asked for, in order to have my mother's name deleted from the Property. I would never recommend anyone to Attorney Stephen Schwartz. He never completed all the work that I paid him for, and left me out in the cold.

Achieves Your Goals

Steve helped my husband and me solve our problems regarding our wills and trusts. He listened to our problem and proposed solutions. His advice was invaluable. We are fortunate to have been his clients.

Clarity, professionalism and excellent advice.

I hired Steven K. Schwartz to pursue a family inheritance conflict. He helped me clarify the issue so that I could vent my emotions and then make sensible decisions. He prepared an inventive course of action that motivated the other side to resolve the dispute to my satisfaction without having to f...ile a lawsuit. He achieved that goal completely. Steven K. Schwartz was responsive to my questions in a timely way and his fee was fair and not in any way excessive. I highly recommend him and would hire him again myself.

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.
