Worst Lawyer in the History of FL

I paid his $1200 fee upfront and then he stalled in every way possible. He is rude, and arrogant. He showed up at the trustee's meeting unkempt and unshaven. I was summoned to his office to sign some paperwork and as I stood at the reception desk he yelled out from his office when I asked a quest...ion. He didn't return calls and the day of the hearing he didn't even show up. Don't even think of hiring this guy.

BEST CREDIT DEFENSE ATTORNEY IN THE STATE!!

I had a substantial amount of debt on a credit card and this attorney got the entire amount dismissed!! Best experience I've ever had with dealing with lawyers!

Debt wiped out in hours!!

I retained this Attorney to represent me on a credit card case. I came into his office at 9:30 a.m. and by 12:30 p.m. the same day the $2500 debt was dismissed!! Highly recommend this Attorney to any one facing credit card debt! Instant results!!

Best Civil Attorney in the state!

This Attorney helped me in the most difficult times in my life. I needed a divorce and bankruptcy done. He fought for me all the way until the end and ultimately I was granted what I was seeking. Very professional, personable, and empathetic to my situation, he was willing to work around my busy sche...dule and allowed payment plans. (Which is almost unheard of now for lawyers to do so). I would recommend Mr. Steel to anyone that needs someone to fight for them. Overall I am very satisfied with my experience.

UNPROFESSIONAL

This man dragged his feet for over a year on my Bankruptcy and bad things began to happen as a result of his incompetence, He is arrogant, uncaring, and extremely RUDE! If I would have hired someone else I would have been done by now. He never calls, and when he returns calls they are at his convenie...nce. This man knows I start work at 7AM and calls me at 6:58 AM and then states in writing that he went out of his way to call me early but I couldn't talk to him. This is just an example of how his lack of common sense is abrasive. He acts as if the Trustees are stupid and do not understand people's problems. he will tell what he says is everything he needs to file the case and then he will delay and insist he needs more documentation, by the time you can get it to him, he then tells you, "your paperwork is expired and you need to redo everything. What am I paying him for?
