Great Lawyer!

Steve Tumbush has represented my business and family interests for nearly 15 years. My initial interaction with Steve involved a very complex business matter in which I was in way over my head. Steve and his firm successfully extricated me from this matter; what I most remember about this first encou...nter, he did exactly what he promised he would do, I find this most unusual in the legal profession. Most over-promise and under-deliver; never my experience with Steve. Over the last 15 years Steve has become one of my most valued and trusted business and personal advisers. As I review the above rating scale, I think about responsiveness - 99 times out of 100, when I place a phone call to Steve he either picks up or returns my call in a short period of time. He keeps me informed and on task; if I haven't responded to an item on my to do list that is due on a project Steve and I are working on, he reaches out and keeps me on task, which I greatly appreciate. Steve is the finest lawyer I've ever worked with, I greatly appreciate his knowledge, access and professionalism!

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.
