Divorce and Custody Case

I have been working with Stevan for the last few months on my divorce and custody case. Throughout this entire process, Stevan worked tirelessly to provide me with the utmost caring and professional care for which I could have asked. He genuinely listened to my concerns and clearly explained the proc...ess to me. My phone calls and emails were always answered promptly. His knowledge of the law and his many years of experience were overwhelmingly evident. Each and every question I asked was answered with a clear, concise answer which made me feel very comfortable and eased my fears. I would highly recommend Stevan Black to represent anyone needing help in the aspect of family law.

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.
