Getting divorced can be challenging, sad and frustrating, to say the very least. I remember asking around for “the good guy”. I wanted to be fair and yet strong. I wanted to be protected and smart, but to “do the right thing” I knew 28 yrs ago that I married the right person and believed that for a v...ery long time until one day everything changed. The day I decided that I needed to be divorced I knew that I needed someone in m y corner. I needed someone with a soul, not the guy you hear about that takes you for a ride and before you know it, the situation is out of control, both in emotion and cost. Thank God I found Steve. He was everything good I was looking for. He was tough and strong when I needed him to be. He listened when I needed him to listen. He trusted me as I trusted him to do the right thing. Steve is a family man himself so he understood where I was coming from and wanted to help me resolve my exit the right way. He was able to reason with my spouse, something I hadn’t seen anyone do in a long time. He did his job to the final degree. I must say he couldn’t do all of this without his awesome assistant Jo. She was conscientious and finitely detailed. She was kind and supportive. I never thought I would write a review on what a “good outcome” of a divorce would look like, but here I am doing so.. Thank you Steve and Jo. I am grateful that you both know your way and you guided me to where I needed to be in the end. I walked away knowing no matter what that I did the right thing.

Not only am I a client, but I am also an attorney. When I was blindsided with divorce, Steve was the first person I called. Although I initially thought the divorce would be collaborative, I quickly realized that would not be the case, and the process would be even more difficult. Steve was fa...ntastic through the whole process. He kept me fully informed, provided great service (all of my questions and concerns were very promptly answered in a direct and straight forward manner), and gave me great advice. Most importantly, he listened to what I needed, set the priorities to get those things accomplished, and put me first. He was direct, effective, compassionate, and efficient. While divorce (especially with kids) is traumatic, having Steve in my corner allowed me to preserve my relationship with my kids, get the custody arrangement that I wanted, move forward in life, and maintain financial stability. Thanks, in large part to Steve, life did move forward after separation and divorce. I do not wish the grief of the end of a long marriage on anyone, but if they must face it for any reason, Steve should be their first call!!!

From the moment I met Steve, I knew he was the right person to handle my divorce. He is straight forward, honest, and dedicated to doing what's best for his clients and their families. We ran into a complication on the day of my divorce, with my ex trying to renegotiate a signed agreement, and Stev...e handled it with so much confidence, that I was certain things would go my way. He even made a few jokes that helped ease the stress of that day, which I appreciated greatly. The judge ruled in my favor and I walked away very happy with the outcome. I cannot say enough great things about Steve and his paralegal, Jo. They worked very diligently on my case, and were both professional and kind. I would recommend Steve a thousand times over.

Going through a divorce is not easy, to say the least. From the moment I walked into Steve's office, I knew that I was in excellent hands. First and foremost, Steve has your interests are heart. He is brillant, trustworthy, hardworking and dedicated. His para-legal Jo is just as outstanding. The...ir teamwork makes the process run as smoothly as possible. There is no else that can do a better job.

Steve handled a couple of post decree modifications for me. From the initial consultation through the conclusion I knew I had hired the perfect attorney for the case. He was upfront about costs, took the time to fully understand the nuances of my particular case, negotiated on my behalf with vigor ...and was ultimately able to settle all the outstanding issues with a result that exceeded my expectations. Jo is fantastic as well! Highly recommend Steve.
