Direct & Smart
Told me what I needed to hear. Gave me information so that I was able to work out many issues with spouse and saved us more hassle.

Arrogant and Pompous
This attorney is very arrogant and pompous. He didnt return my calls in a prompt matter. His Mr.Know-it-all perception really bothered me during my divorce. In the end, I was screwed with outstanding bills to him and my spouse. I would never recommend this attorney.

One of the best
Steve was great. He was so much more knowledgeable than my ex's lawyer. He had a sense of humor that helped me through the process. In the end, the result was close to what Steve told me in out first meeting. Highly recommend because he was way better and more efficient than my first lawyer.
