My personal experience with Steve

Steve was recommended by a very dear friend, it was the best decision I made, regarding my circumstance, not only did Steve take the time out of his busy schedule to come to my home, he put his feet in my shoes, on a business relationship and personal relationship he will always be like a brother to ...me and apart of my life, I can't express enough what Steve and his staff did for me if not on a daily basis or weekly basis, he was always available to me and worked hard and diligently on my case, and for that I will always be thankful, grateful and I highly recommend his services to anyone In need, Steve explained everything step by step and came to a resolution without going to trial, thanks to Steve and his staff I wouldn't be where I'm at today, but you must remember you have to be patient because good things do come to thoughs who wait, it's a process and it doesn't happen overnight, let's be real nothing does, with that being said please don't suffer Steve and his staff is one call or visit away. Steve is a blessing from God. Sincerely and life long friend, Kelly

A attorney that REALLY CARES ABOUT YOU!!!!!

I had a slip and fall injury that I tried to deal with the store myself but that was not working. I was referred to Steve Brown though a friend who also had wonderful results with Mr. Brown. I was more than satisfied with the work and results that Mr. Brown got for me. He was like having a friend as ...a lawyer. Mr. Brown was always on top of everything from the beginning of my case to the settlement he got me. The most important thing I liked was that Mr. Brown always had my best intestest in mind, from my health to my settlement from the store I fell at. I would highly recommend Steve Brown as a attorney for all your needs!!!

A Genuine and Caring Individual

I was paying monthly for life insurance over 10 years for my mother. Due to prolonged heart failure and her age, she passed away last year and now rest in peace. I called the insurance company to place my claim, and they gave me many roundabouts. It finally came down to them sending me a letter stati...ng that I cannot receive any claim as I had missed some payments. I had indeed missed approximately six months of payments. I had spoken to a representative that stated if I wrote them a check for all six months that was missed, I would then be reinstated and be eligible to claim later. That was about two years ago, when I had consider dropping the life insurance. I realized I had put a lot of money into it, so I wrote them a check and was reinstated, and I picked up my monthly payment from where I had left off. All was well and I continued my monthly payment. When I called and tried to talk to a manager, I was then told that all criteria was not met. I met with Mr. Steven Brown and explain all the details and my concerns. He was so pleasant and took the necessary time to listen to everything I had to say. His team/staff is excellent and very effective. Along with himself, his staff is highly knowledgeable as well. Not knowing anything about these laws, I had felt stranded. Meeting with Mr. Brown and his staff, I immediately felt relief. His years of experience with clients shows in his genuine efforts to help me in this case. He has a wonderful personality not of a lawyer, but as a friend. He is dedicated to helping his client find peace, rather than for the money, and it truly shows. He definitely knows how to get the job done. In one week after speaking to him, I got a call from his office. He stated my issues was resolved, and they will take care of my claim. I was amazed at the efficiency of his work.

A lawyer who is trustworthy and kind

After our car accident our daughter interviewed Steve and he came to our house and explained everything that he would do in regard to our situation. If we did not feel comfortable with that he would move on and let us find some else. We decided to employ him. He always kept us informed and we were a...lways free to call his office and have any questions answered without any feeling of imposition. His office staff was very helpful in any matter we had come up. Our situation was more complicated than some but they handled it very professionally and kindly and in a timely matter. We could not say enough good things about Steve and his employees. We would highly recommend him. He has become our friend.

Simply The Best

Over three years ago in a short span of time I was involved in two car accidents while on the job. First accident I was rear ended by an elderly couple and within a month t-boned by another person. With the first accident I ended up with whiplash and referred to a group of attorneys that quickly re...ferred me to pain clinic and never really explained anything to me or returned my calls. Second accident I was badly injured and taken to hospital via ambulance. Once I was able to return to my job in the healthcare industry, I had one of my doctors I work with refer me to Atty Steve Brown. After our meeting, I had this incredible since of relief removed from me. I can't begin to explain the difference between Attorney Steve Brown and that first group of wannabe attorney's just out for themselves. He treated me like his family and always kept me informed on everything that was happening. His staff member Becky was always so polite and very professional. The whole practice is simply the best!! Attorney Steve Brown helped me get through a very difficult time and I will truly be grateful to him and his staff for everything! I will highly recommend him to anyone who needs a personal injury attorney.
