Zero stars if I could...DO NOT HIRE THIS PERSON

Completely incompetent. Was married for 13 years and I lost EVERYTHING. Even the law of averages says I shouldn't have been made to sleep in my car but I was and Steve knew it. He could not have cared less. Years later when I show anyone my paperwork and what happened, nobody can believe that someone... this incompetent would be allowed to practice law. And this psycho has the gall to send me an invoice every month so I can continue to remember how badly I was screwed over. DO. NOT. HIRE. THIS. PERSON. Seriously, I beg you. I think you'd do better to represent yourself.

Highly recommed

I contacted Steve requesting a consult and he returned my call with in hours. At our initial meeting I felt that he was able to clearly see the big picture and validated my situation. He worked diligently on my complex and challenging child custody case-advising, reassuring, answering my calls and em...ails patiently and consistently throughout the entire process. His tireless work ethic: extensive, thorough, always on time, resulted in a positive outcome for my family.

Thank you!

This was my second time asking Steve for his services at a moment when I couldn’t see a way out. After my consultation, I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Steve had an answer and provided results faster than I thought. Very professional and most of all, he showed compassion and the willing...ness to help. I appreciate the work done on my behalf by Steve and would recommend Hope Law Firm to everyone. Thanks again!
