Outstanding Attorney

Divorce is such an ugly thing. It is usually something beyond draining in every way imaginable, especially in circumstances involving a non-amicable and/or entitled spouse. Often, such difficulties are compounded by concurrent issues with finances, health, etc. Most importantly, when innocent chil...dren are involved, it becomes crucial to protect them from the surrounding chaos. During such a trying time, it is vital to partner with an attorney who is experienced, competent, trustworthy, diligent, discerning, and level-headed. It is also important to find an attorney who is well-connected and respected within the Florida law community. With my personal case now fully resolved, I can assert that Mr. Steven Hair, Esquire meets/exceeds all of these attributes. Another characteristic about Mr. Hair that deserves mentioning is a certain humility that is rarely seen in successful attorneys, especially those with his extent of experience (over 30 years). If you are looking for an aggressive "pit bull" type of attorney who will invariably take extreme measures on your behalf, perhaps Mr. Hair is not for you (and he would tell you this himself). But do NOT mistake this for weakness. Rather, Mr. Hair is a careful investor of his time, and time = money. YOUR money. You can trust Mr. Hair and his staff to not only represent your best interests, but also to be a steward of your finances by not accruing wasteful hours on measures bound to fail. He does this by carefully listening to the various aspects of your case and then educating you on how the law applies (or tends to apply) given your circumstances. Further, if your case is somehow unique or complex, Mr. Hair is unafraid to tell you when he needs to look into specific details to provide definitive information and guidance. This is a mark of a true professional. Finally, if you are a parent, you can trust Mr. Hair to keep your child/children forefront of mind throughout your case. For us parents, divorce is something far more than just an elongated financial negotiation. The parenting plan deserves at least an equal amount of time and thought to ensure that kids will endure the process of divorce as unscathed as possible. I am personally looking forward to the next chapter of my life and watching my children transition into thriving young adults. I owe much of this optimism and assurance to Mr. Hair. I am more than pleased to offer my highest recommendation for his legal services.

Excellent attorney

Mr. Hair was my divorce attorney. I would not have made it through without his legal expertise. He is an exceptional attorney who is well-respected in the community. His office staff are personable, competent always going the extra mile to help. If you really need a divorce attorney, I highly rec...ommend Mr. Steven Hair.

Excellent Family Law Attorney!

I would definitely recommend Steven Hair to anyone. He is awesome!!! He was recommended to me by a very good attorney friend of mine after I had a falling out with my 1st divorce attorney who was arrogant and would barely listen to me or hardly communicate with me about what was going on. Unfortuna...tely my divorce was high conflict with regard to the time share schedule of our 2 young children. There was an attempt by my former spouse to relocate the kids to another state. She was very vindictive and was constantly trying to minimize the amount of time me and the kids were together. I was so stressed out and anxious. I couldn’t sleep and the kids were unhappy. After interviewing several other attorneys I decided to work with Steve. First he helped me through an emergent mediation to secure a temporary time share agreement which I was quite pleased with the outcome. My divorce was truly the most difficult time of my life. My former spouse would push my buttons every chance she got. She was so unreasonable throughout the entire process, would fabricate lies, threaten me, etc. I’m so thankful I had Steve to get me through it. Steve taught me a lot of skills for dealing with her. Skills I still use today. As much as I wanted to lash back at her sometimes, Steve kept me calm. He was a voice of reason. He would always tell me, “do not respond to her craziness in kind” (some of the best advice he ever gave me). Steve worked with me a lot to formulate a strategy. He listened to my concerns and worries. He definitely does care and would always ask how the kids were doing. He communicated with me on a regular basis and would get back to me within a reasonable amount of time whenever I needed advice. He is clearly an expert at what he does. His knowledge base and experience is vast. Although he is soft spoken he is definitely a tiger. He skillfully uncovered and debunked so many of my former spouses lies during depositions. I was definitely happy I was sitting on the same side of the table as Steve. One month before we almost went to trial we had a final mediation that went until 4:30 in the morning but we came to an agreement and it was finally over. Even lacking sleep I swear Steve still thought of everything. It has been just over a year since we finalized and I am very happy with the outcome thanks to him. Ultimately he helped me secure equal time share and the kids are still here in Florida and it is all working out great. The kids are happy and doing really well. He always told me my co-parenting relationship with my former spouse would improve in time and he was right about that too. Win Win for the kids! Thank you Steve!!!!

Family Law Attorney

Some divorces are amicable - mine was contentious. So finding a top-shelf lawyer to represent my interests was critical. Hiring Steven was one of the best decisions I have ever made – as what is decided during the divorce process has long-lasting future impact. There’s a prevailing myth that guys w...ill always get the short end of the stick during a divorce. And while that may be true in many respects (based on a somewhat biased court system that generally favors the mother), having Attorney Hair on your team will level the playing field and even shift the cards in your favor. Steven is a shrewd negotiator and has an intimate understanding of all legal matters. He is a great listener and will take the time to really understand your case (while offering up solid advice). As a result of his stellar legal work, my divorce outcome was much better than anticipated. I highly recommend him!

When You Nee Help Hire The Best

I have used Mr. Hair on several occasions, First my son needed help with his children's mother as she was causing all kinds of legal issues and even got a restraining order. Mr. Hair was reasonable, informative and has a wealth of knowledge.Don't let his mild manner fool you he is a man that not only... knows the law makes a person feel like there is always hope in every situation. My son is using Mr. hair again years later in a custody battle as he trust his sons future in his hands.My daughter got a divorce and after having a Lawyer that as we might say threw her to the wolves hired Mr. Hair to help straighten out some ridiculous demands that her ex and his attorney claimed got left out of the child custody provisions by mistake. The situation seemed hopeless and my daughter very distraught, did not trust any attorneys, but after Hiring Mr. Hair things got resolved and My daughter is no longer bullied by her ex or his attorney.Mr. Hair gave my daughter back faith in the legal system and she has and will continue to rate Mr Hair a 5+ star rating.If your in need of excellent advice or excellent legal service Mr. Hair is the most outstanding lawyer I have ever met.
