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...

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...

Divorce
I was in need of a lawyer for my divorce. I don't know any lawyers, so I went to Hope Law Firm to get a feel for them after hearing an add for them on the radio. It turned out that hiring them was probably one of my best decisions. They worked with me every step of the way. They were understandin...

Child custody case
I worked with Steve for over a year on this case and I will say he was good about keeping in contact. What I was disappointed with was during mediation he basically sat there and didn't contribute much if anything when the mediator was in the room. I felt as if I could have done it myself. Also, I ...

Don't waste your money
This guy was my lawyer a couple years ago when he worked for the Hope Law Firm (he might still work there. IDK). To be honest, I didn't even want him as my lawyer. I paid $1500 to retain another lawyer in the practice but somehow wound up with Steve. I desperately needed a lawyer at the time so I gav...
I’m sorry if you did not have a good experience with either me or the Hope Law Firm. However, I do not believe that the information in this review is accurate as this client/matter does not sound familiar. In addition, the timing of the review further calls into question its accuracy as the writer apparently waited a couple years before leaving this review. Nonetheless, in response to the writer’s concerns, I would again apologize if you were not happy with communications and/or response times. Unfortunately, immediate responses are often simply not possible. However, prompt attention to clients and their cases always remains a top priority of mine.
