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.

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 compa...ssionate. 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 bill...s

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.

Steven Caya: Knowledgeable, Straightforward, Effective

My wife and I hired Steve Caya on the advice of an acquaintance to pursue a claim against our insurance company after being involved in a very serious automobile accident. We did this just to protect our interests, wanting to avoid being taken advantage of. The other party in the accident having no... insurance, we did not expect an enormous settlement but just what we felt our own company should give us, which came nowhere close to the true cost. Steve informed us of certain legal issues that made it possible (as intended by the law at that time) to receive double the amount stated on our policy. Our insurance of course disagreed, and Steve was invaluable in his dealings with the insurance company, the courts, our medical providers, and our children (for whom we also had claims). After a fairly long (but reasonable, in court-time) process, we ended up getting the maximum amount possible for the main claim, as well as very substantial and reasonable settlements for the other members of our family. What more can I say? Steve treated us with respect, kept us informed of the status of our claims, gave us reasonable expectations, and ultimately got us everything to which we were entitled. He was very professional and we would unconditionally recommend him to anyone.
