Excellent in all respects

Steve has been involved with our organization for 20+ years. Our business has changed a lot in that time, as has the world, and Steve has been both a leader and a great advisor to us throughout. His dedication to our organization has never wavered and his willingness to do anything, no matter how tri...vial it may seem, is incredible. We count on him both as an attorney and as a trusted friend and advisor.

Excellent lawyer and master mediator

I have worked with Steve Mayans for many years throughout my career. He is a wonderful, intelligent, level headed attorney. He is a master at conflict resolution. He has the ability to make both parties feel good about the outcome of potentially difficult situations. I would highly recommend him.

Brilliant Advocate

Steve is an outstanding attorney who possesses a brilliant legal mind. He has been an advocate for my legal position for a number of years. He truly cares about the well-being of his clients and has helped me maintain a positive attitude throughout a very stressful period in my life. I can’t recom...mend Steve more highly.

  • 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.
