DO NOT HIRE THIS LAWYER

THE GOOD REVIEWS ON HERE MUST BE FAMILY/ FRIENDS OR PAID ACTORS. THIS MAN WILL TAKE AS MUCH MONEY AS POSSIBLE FROM YOU, WITH DOING AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. HE MAY GO ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR OTHER LAWYERS / FRIENDS BUT HE WILL NOT DO THAT FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON. I PAID A RETAINER UP FRONT AND HE COULD NOT ...SHOW ME THE TIME SPENT ON MY CASE, IT COST 5K TO HAVE HIM FILL OUT ONE FAMILY LAW FORM. HE LOOKS AT THE CLOCK INSTEAD OF THE CLIENT. READ HIS GOOGLE REVIEWS!!!

Don't hesitate to hire Steve!

I highly recommend the law office of Stephen J. Rogers. If you are looking for excellent representation with integrity then you should hire Steve. He is the best and made my divorce as painless as possible because he knows the law and cares about his clients. You also get a very competent paralegal, ...Brittany, who is knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with!

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

If you want your child safe, and your FINAL JUDGEMENT to be adhered to DO NOT HIRE

He does NOT represent me, and will not return any emails, or answer his office phone, as HE DOES NOT HAVE TOO. This is coming from a worried mother, our child is being exposed to awful events. Mr. Rogers does nothing but allow his client to continue to put our child in danger. If you want your child ...safe DO NOT CHOOSE HIM. His assistant Brittany, makes personal calls to my child's father, expressing her opinions of me and how she thinks things should go, not to mention including the flirting with him. That's just disgusting and unprofessional. She hangs up on me, she will not listen she just wants to argue. I am truly lost and I pray god heals him and reminds him why he is a family law attorney including a criminal one. Does a criminal attorney usually allow his own client to commit crimes ? It seems so. God bless you all and your families.

Good attorney

I have used his services multiple times. Sometimes he can be terse and has a busy schedule, but he has provided services always as agreed upon and with successful outcome, and for less money than other lawyers have quoted.

Bad Experience

This lawyer failed to communicate. My emails and questions were left unanswered. I scheduled a phone call and he never called me! I spent all of my savings but it still wasn't enough for him to finalize my case. He did not achieve the successful outcome that was discussed on our initial consultation.... I was forced to hire a different attorney in the middle of the process. What a disappointment.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Apr 17

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"For any divorce or post dissolution matter in Martin or St. Lucie County, Steve Rogers should be your first call. Steve's office prides itself on being available for their clients, and then, doing what's necessary to get the job done. Every client ever referred to his office has called to thank us. He is well respected by his peers and the judges, and it is no wonder why he was one of six considered by the Governor's office for a circuit court judgeship."

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.
