A lawyer who’s got your back

Steve Pesso has been my attorney for nearly 10 years. I’m one of the tough divorce cases that was tricky to start with, go through, and has lingering issues due to a textbook narcissistic ex. From the beginning, Steve has demonstrated great insight to psychology of personality and remains calm i...n spite of family law’s notorious roller coaster rides. He prepared my case for trial with remarkable detail and during the trial, told the story of my life which (without going into detail) made it crystal clear to the judge to rule in favor of me. The way he prepped me prior to trial was key as well, as that translated to me knowing how to handle the opposing counsel’s purposeful digs aimed at getting under my skin and trying to make me lose my cool. He is grounded and affable with the opposing counsel and treats the other party with dignity and respect. This is important because it diffuses that go-to drama so many divorce attorneys rely on. Steve tells me the way it is. Sometimes that really irks me, but he does not make promises he can’t deliver. I know he has my back and I’ve been able to truly count on him during the worst times of my life. Because I have been treated so well, I highly recommend to anyone who is contemplating divorce, to consult with Steve and hire him to take care of you.

Best Divorce Lawyer

I had a very rough and complicated divorce - which involved children, a business, and debt. Steve was referred to me as the best Family Lawyer- and he truly is! He is smart and professional, compassionate and very detailed. He knows the law and he will truly do what best for his client. He was by my ...side the entire time, he coordinated all the professionals and kept the hours to a reasonable minimum. He does not over bill and he lives up to his reputation as the best. He settled my divorce so me and my children can move on. I am grateful for him and his team!

ABSOLUTELY GREAT ATTORNEY-HIGHLY SKILLED, GREAT LITIGATOR, RESULTS ORIENTED

Steven Pesso finished my divorce and was always AVAILABLE. One thing that I really liked about him is that he is not an alarmist. He always tries to get the best results for his clients without "stirring up the pot" HE is an excellent litigator and always has his clients best interests at heart. ...He knows how to get your divorce done. I have also referred him numerous clients - I think he is among BOCA's BEST attorneys and would not hesitate to recommend him!

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.
