Assisted in Business Negotiation

Stephen assisted our design business in dealing with a exit contract negotiation. By listening, evaluating and discussing our issues with a understanding of contracts, negotiations and small business, Stephen was able to assist and help direct us through an otherwise confusing and difficult process.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Steve Wenke has spent more than 20 years protecting people charged with crimes in both State and Federal Court. Before that, Steve served the people of Hamilton County as a Prosecutor. Steve is an excellent attorney. He uses his experience, expertise and hard earned knowledge of the criminal court system, from his years as a Prosecutor and then his two decades in private practice, as a tireless advocate for his clients. I refer people to Steve and have worked as co-counsel with him many times. I have seen first-hand the excellent, tireless work he does for his clients. I can rest assured that Steve will take care of anyone I refer to him. Steve Wenke protects his clients and gets great results."

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.
