Steven W. Effman

I had a complex divorce and post judgment issue with my ex-husband not paying his Court Ordered Child Support. Additionally, he was able to get me full custody of my 3 children. Going through a divorce is one of the most stressful experiences a person can face, and I am incredibly grateful that I ha...d such a dedicated, knowledgeable, and compassionate attorney representing me throughout the process. From the very beginning, he took the time to explain every step, answered all of my questions, and made sure I understood my rights and options. I always felt that my case was important to him, and I never felt like just another client. What truly sets him apart is his commitment to his clients even after the divorce is finalized. My post-judgment issues became even more challenging when my ex-husband repeatedly failed to pay court-ordered child support. Instead of allowing the situation to continue, my attorney acted quickly and aggressively to enforce the court's orders. He fought tirelessly on behalf of my children and me, ensuring that my ex was held accountable for his obligations. Thanks to his persistence and deep understanding of family law, he was even successful in obtaining an arrest warrant for my ex due to his continued failure to pay child support. I also want to recognize his incredible paralegal, who was truly an invaluable part of my experience. She consistently went above and beyond in every possible way. Whether it was answering my countless questions, keeping me updated on my case, preparing documents, or simply taking the time to reassure me during some of the most difficult moments, she treated me with kindness, respect, and genuine compassion. Her knowledge of family law is nothing short of remarkable. She is incredibly intelligent, detail-oriented, and always seemed to know exactly what needed to be done and what the next steps would be. Her professionalism and dedication gave me so much confidence throughout the process, and I always felt like I was in excellent hands whenever I spoke with her. It honestly amazed me how knowledgeable she is, and there were many times I found myself thinking that she has the knowledge, skill, and work ethic of an attorney. She is an absolute asset to the firm, and I truly believe she deserves every bit of recognition for the exceptional work she does. People often recognize the attorney, but behind every successful case is an outstanding team, and she played an enormous role in helping me navigate one of the hardest periods of my life. Throughout every stage of my case, he was professional, responsive, and exceptionally well-prepared. He communicated clearly, kept me informed, and always made me feel confident that my case was in capable hands. His courtroom presence and knowledge of the law gave me peace of mind during an incredibly difficult time. If you are looking for a family law attorney who is honest, compassionate, and willing to fight for you and your children, I cannot recommend him highly enough. He doesn't just help you get through your divorce—he stands by you afterward when enforcement issues arise and makes sure court orders are respected. His dedication, professionalism, and determination made a tremendous difference in my life, and I will always be thankful for everything he did for my family.

Olga Y has posted a false, unfounded and malicious review. She knows better and it is a glaring example of her blaming everyone else but herself for the outcome of her case. No I never acted inappropriately toward her in any manner. Yes, I communicated with her Husband's lawyers in a professional ...manner representing her best interests and trying to resolve the case best for her and her children when she directed me to do so. Yes, she constantly changed her mind and the direction of her case, all of which I documented. When I withdrew as her lawyer, she chose to handle her case at trial on her own. That was her decision and she shall live with the decision of the Court. She is a living example of why no one should represent themself in their divorce. Bottom line.....At all times during my representation of her, I was professional, courteous and prepared. At no time did I act Inappropriately toward her or her Husband's lawyers. Bottom line is she blames me, her former lawyer, for her actions when I properly and professionally represented her throughout my work.

Mr Effman is a very experienced and knowledgeable divorce attorney that dedicates his time, compassion and experience to his clients. He was very detailed, thorough and calm regarding my stressful situation. I strongly recommend him if you are looking for someone with experience and knowledge of fami...ly law. He is quite dedicated to his clients.

If you need an attorney that is thoughtful, caring and has a knowledge of divorce law that is quite simply amazing look no further. Mr Effman is your attorney. Mr Effman took over my case after a terrible experience with a previous attorney. He quickly and confidently fixed the huge damage that was ...done by a less knowledgeable attorney, and put me completely at ease from the first day I was lucky enough to make contact with him. He kept me informed every step of the way, listened to all my ideas and expertly weaved our way through the very complicated and often times completely unfair family law world. Dont make the same mistake I did at first. I was frustrated, miserable, angry after my divorce and hired the first attorney I called thinking they were all the same. Dont gamble with you and your childrens future! Do your homework and then hire an attorney that is experienced, knowledgeable and caring. It can save you, frustration, anger and complete disgust and of course thousands of dollars! Mr Effman is the best and I am so glad I was referred to him. Hope I can pay it forward by writing this rambling review!!

Mr. Effman saved my case!! I had used another local divorce lawyer for my divorce- she was ok - not good enough to use again or recommend. So when I unexpectely had a family issue I did not want to use her , and i found someone I thought was good- but his "work" made matters worse! Lucky for me- ...I heard about Mr. Effman and decided to hire him to finish my family type case. He stepped right in and fixed all the mistakes -In literally the first 3 days of being represented by Mr. Effman he did more than the attorney I fired for the same case did in12 weeks!!!! What a huge difference. Mr. Effman is an amazing attorney. I was the innocent party in my case and the other attorney was calling all the shots! If I didnt hire Steve- I would of not gotten the desired result and otherside would of unjustly won because I didnt hire the right attorney! Thank you so MUCH!!
