Professional, personable, efficient

Stephen helped me clean up my uncle's estate which was a mess. Before he came on board, nothing had been done and no one had been paid. Stephen came in and was able to get the executor to resign, got me appointed as executor and guided me through probate seamlessly. I since hired him to draft up f...amily estate planning documents and am very pleased.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
