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 thro...ugh 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 aro...se. 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
