Awesome professional detail, sincere care and concern.

Following a bad car accident, I am so incredibly grateful that I had Steve Meshbesher and associate Richard Student handling my case. They responded pronto! right on the spot to the hospital and took care of details I was medically unable to address. I became so impressed with the professional detail.... It was clear I was in good hands. Their immediate communication between the auto insurance company and the medical insurance company and then myself was made so clear to me and prompt. I saw how they were handling things and it put me at ease. It appeared to me they were very pro-active and again the on-going detail was immediately addressed. I am so incredibly grateful for all their professional help as well as the sincere care and concern. Good people , Good Attorneys. Thank you so much Steve Meshbesher , and associate Richard Student.

Legal Genius

Mr Meshbesher not only knows and understands the law, but he knows how to get things done. His knowledge of the law allows him to guide his clients through the legal process smoothly. His thorough communication conveys to his clients the situation, the choices to be made, the consequences and what ...his recommendations are so the client can make an informed decision on how to conduct themselves and process decisions. Having worked with other attorneys and professionals in both personal and business transactions, I can say Steve and his team are top notch. You need look no further-hire Steve!

An EXCELLENT attorney

I’m reviewing Steve for a second time due to the conclusion of my case. This is my second “5-star” review. Steve handled every aspect of my case with ABSOLUTE precision and professionalism. I know for a fact if I were to have hired any other attorney my case would’ve turned out extremely different an...d NOT for the better. With regard to the outcome of my case, I could not be happier. No jail. Very limited probation. Steve got me off probation two years early. No fines. Steve is INCREDIBLY well respected in the legal community, and for good reason. He EARNS his reputation! Thank you Steve!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
