...nothing but professional, knowledgeable, and just awesome.

We want to make sure that everyone knows just how awesome Steve is. We hired Steve for our malpractice law suit. From our first conversation with him, we immediately become aware of his integrity and commitment, extensive experience and thorough knowledge about the process, and moreover, the passi...on he exudes for his work. We gave him our full trust to handle our case. He did such a fantastic job that finally won the verdict for us after the trial that lasted almost 3 weeks. He was always courteous and attentive, making us feel that our case was the only one being handled by him, when in reality we were just one of his hundreds of clients. His genuine warmth and kindness make it near impossible not to become his friend. Thank you so much for helping us to gain our life back, Steve.

STEPHEN CRANDALL - An attorney who is "truly" in your corner!

We hired Stephen Crandall when we had a medical malpractice issue and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Throughout the entire process (which is quite lengthy) Stephen continuously kept us informed with any and all legal processes. Stephen was honest and passionate about our case and even ...with my constant (arm chair legal advice) questions and statements, he continued to listen and advise honestly and to the point. Once our court date had arrived, Stephen eased our nerves by being relaxed and professional, definitely carrying himself with the confidence of a well prepared and experienced trial lawyer along with the demeanor of a friend who is definitely there for you. Throughout the trial he showed his experience by never becoming rattled by the oppositions attorneys, or their tactics and questions, he was always one or two steps ahead of the defense and his passion for our particular case was apparent not only to us, but the jury as well. Stephen restored our faith in the legal system and attorneys in general. My wife and I both consider him a friend and the only attorney we would ever consider if we ever become entangled in the legal system again. I wish I could have video taped the entire trial, I would have had the camera on Stephen only. There were times that the defense was putting on quite a show, and I looked over at Stephen and he sat there seemingly way too relaxed and I thought only half listening, then it was his turn to cross the witness, WOW, he didn't miss a thing, he stayed calm and asked all the right questions, made all the right statements and owned that court room...IMPRESSIVE!! He knew our case inside and out, he had done his work, and he was better prepared than anyone else in that room, and he continued that impressive work every day we were there, he was great!! I have to say the television attorneys even the best of them could not hold a candle to Stephen S. Crandall, I see the awards and accolades call him one of the top 10 in Ohio and one of the top 5 in Cleveland, in my opinion there can't be anyone better, he has to be the number one attorney in Ohio and Cleveland, Maybe even the country. We won our case, or I should say Stephen Crandall won our case for us, he got to know us on a personal level, then he learned the case, then he prepared us, and became prepared for the trial, then he performed a fantastic job at trial, and now he continues to see how we are doing, he keeps in touch and makes sure we are okay. Stephen not only is the best at what he does in the court room, Stephen truly does care, about you and your case. I say it every time I speak to him, but I have to say it again here...THANK YOU

MOST TRUSTWORTHY LAWYER I"VE EVER MET

STEVE ENTERED MY CASE AFTER THREE OTHER LAWYERS HAD KICKED IT AROUND FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS. THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS WAS ABOUT TO EXPIRE,WHEN STEVE GOT INVOLVED. WE WERE GOING UP AGAINST A TOP DR. IN HIS FIELD,WHO WAS WELL RESPECTED AND WELL KNOWN FOR HIS SPECIALTY. I WAS A NOBODY FROM A LITTLE TO...WN IN NORTHERN OHIO. HOWEVER STEVE DUG INTO THE FACTS OF THE CASE,FOUND THE TRUTH,PREPARED THE EVIDENCE,TOOK THE DEPOSITIONS,GOT THE NECESSARY EXPERT WITNESSES,AND COMFORTED ME WITH ALL MY ANXIOUS QUESTIONS. WE WENT TO COURT,THAT IS WHEN I SAW THE BRILLIANCE OF STEVE.HE WAS UP AGAINST A INSURANCE COMPANY LAWYER FOR THE DR,WHO WAS VERY GOOD AT MAKING THINGS SEEM DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THEY ACTUALLY WERE.STEVE PRESENTED MY CASE WITH SUCH PRECISION AND PASSION,IT WAS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO REACH ANY OTHER CONCLUSION THAN THAT THE DR.HAD DONE WRONG. THE JURY SAW IT THE SAME WAY,AND VOTED 8-0 IN OUR FAVOR. IN MY WORK I HAVE MET MANY LAWYERS FOR DIFFERENT REASONS,HOWEVER NONE HAVE EVER GIVEN ME THE FEELINGS OF TRUSTWORTHINESS OR CONFIDENCE THAT STEVE HAS .HIS EFFORTS ON MY CASE HAVE PROTECTED ME AND MY FAMILY FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES FINANCIALLY. ALSO I FEEL I HAVE TRULY GAINED A NEW FRIEND BECAUSE OF TYPE OF MAN HE IS.

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.
