Very satisfied results
My boyfriend was in an automobile accident and was trying to work with the insurance company. He found out that it was easier to have Steve’s office assist us. They were able to make the process go a lot smoother. We were satisfied with the outcome.

Excellent representation with a personal touch
We hired Steve Caya to represent our 85 year old father who was injured in an auto accident (no fault of his own). Steve and his team were very professional, personal and easy to work with. The team did a great job getting fair compensation for our father. I can’t thank them enough for doing such a great job.

Semi vs. SUV
I was in the semi. A lady texting and driving merged into my lane carelessly. I hit her. I lost my job and lost everything. Steven Caya got everything back for me and than a settlement. All i did was call. This wasn't a long drawn out battle it was very quick. But all you have to do is call. This guy i never even saw. Only heard his voice. Won my settlement and gave me more than i thought. Alot more! Im very satisfied with his team. I cannot believe how much you could lose after am accident. No matter how simple or complicated call... They told me and prepared me for what i was going to sacrifice. Gave me courage and flattened the insurance companies.

Reciew
I was very lucky to end up with Steve and his team! Through almost a four year battle, they were always very adamant about making sure I was getting what i needed and helping me understand every part of the process. They were very timely when getting back to me as well. I’m very very thankful that Steve and his team took me on as a client and I would highly recommend them.

Extremely Helpful
Steve and his team were great to work with on my case. He helped and guided me in the right direction and ensured that I received the proper amount regarding my case. I did very little work on my end and overall was satisfied with the results of the case. Highly suggest Steve and his team!

Competent and Compassionate Attorney
Attorney Caya and his legal team were incredible to work with. They are competent and have great intuition when to either push back at an insurance company who is trying to take advantage of a client, or accept their offer. In addition, they were always asking how my recovery was going and very compassionate. To find a team that was so competent and kind was a huge blessing, as my case was a bit more complicated, so I needed an attorney who was tough and diligent in making sure justice was served accordingly. I'd recommend this attorney and his team to anyone who needs an very experienced attorney who truly cares about you and will fight for what is fair for you.

Motorcycle accident
I was involved in a motorcycle accident and my first call for a lawyer was to Steve Caya, I couldn't think of anyone better to handle my case than someone that also rides. Steve Caya made everything very easy for me, a0nd even though the other driver didn't have enough coverage to pay my medical bills

trustworthy and professional
I was referred to Steve after an accident that I had earlier this year. I truly didn't know what was going to come next or how I would even have a car to drive after being hit on the way to work early in the morning. I realized very quickly that Steve Caya and his staff were very attentive and willing to work on my behalf where I absolutely could not have represented myself in this situation. They took care of every bill that I had and every penny of it got paid off. I am also able to have a car that I do not owe any payments on just like the car that was taken from me that day. I'm so appreciative because they did their job and they very professionally handled the situation where I would have not had any idea what to do, and I would have been taken advantage of for sure.

Excellent experience
Mr. Caya was able to recover 6x the amount the insurance company was offering to settle without going to court. He is pleasant and personable, genuinely seems to care about his clients. He takes time to listen and kept me informed of case progress. He is efficient. I would highly recommend and would use his services in future if need be.

Great Experience that Went Above and Beyond Expectations
We hired Steve and have been working with him and his staff for the last four years on a personal injury from a car accident. This was my first time working with an attorney, so I was nervous going into the process and wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Steve was really great to work with. He put my worries at ease and walked me through each step of the process along the way. Steve brings with him years and years of experience working with insurance companies and knows how they operate. The process was a long one, however, Steve and his staff made sure to keep us updated and communicated with us regularly, as various steps in the process were happening. He also has a team of amazing support staff (Sarah and Tressa!) that we spoke with regularly. It was always a nice experience walking into their office. Steve was a great advocate for us and we put all of our trust in him. He gave us his honest opinions and guidance along the way and he was able to settle our case out of court. We are so grateful for all of his efforts with our case. The outcome and level of service we received really went above and beyond our expectations. I would recommend Steve to anyone out there who needs a kind and knowledgeable advocate in their corner.

Professional and compassionate.
From the moment I met with Steve. I felt a sense of relief. He was so knowledgeable and really listened to me. He was confident he could help and that gave me hope. Being self employed I was missing so much work between Doctors appointments and pyhsical therapy, the bills were starting to accumlate. It was getting very concerned. Steve not only was able to recover for all of the medical bills plus a settlement that compenated me for lost wages and a year of recovering my health. I dont know what I would have done without Steve and his team. I am very grateful.

Excellent Communicator and Advocate
We hired Steven Caya after our daughter was in a terrible accident. From our initial consultation to the conclusion of our case, he made us feel so comfortable and safe in a very difficult situation. Steven and his team kept us in the know at every turn and expertly answered all of our questions through emails, phone calls, or face to face meetings. His experience and know-how gave us comfort and confidence, knowing our case was in good hands. We were more than pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend him to anyone who needed an excellent, competent, thoughtful attorney.

Trusting and made me feel like a family member
I had an amazing experience with Steve Caya and staff at the Nowlan & Mouat LLP law firm. Everyone there was amazing and was able to answer any and all of my questions. I really have never had an attorney before so this was all new to me. They made me feel comfortable with every situation that arose. I was able to put all of my trust in Steve that he was doing what was right. He made me feel as if " I were his daughter " this is what he would do. I can't say enough good this about him. I also would like to say how amazing Sarah is. Sarah is Steve's Paralegal. I was able to talk to her, cry with her, and laugh with her anytime I needed it. We developed an awesome friendship over the last couple of years. She was ALWAYS able to answer questions for me. Sarah and Steve..... Thank you so very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
