Posted by Kathy | April 26, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Death

Knowledgeable, Professional, Courteous, Results-oriented

After a family member's death in a car crash, we knew we needed an attorney to help us understand the legal process and our rights as a family. Within 24 hours of the accident, attorneys as far away as Minneapolis started contacting us with offers to assist with a wrongful death lawsuit. We wanted a ...reputable, local attorney to help guide us through this horrible experience no family should have to face. Luckily, we found Steve in Bismarck. During our first meeting, it was obvious he was a very knowledgeable attorney and we felt comfortable we were "in the right hands." Steve proved to be professional and courteous. He was respectful of every family member's feelings during this very difficult time. Steve provided thorough explanations we could all understand. We found Steve to be honest and appreciated his results-oriented, hard work and knowledge about the insurance industry as well as wrongful death litigation and lawsuits. We have been so confident with Steve's work, his law firm gets all our legal business now.

You can rest and relax with Steven Leibel on your side!

I hired Steve Leibel to help me with a lawsuit and some mineral and land issues. Because of Steve's high standards, integrity and honesty, I felt comfortable and relieved to have Steve on my side. He can be persistent, tough and play hardball when necessary, but he is also respectful and caring towar...ds his clients and their needs. It is this balance that makes him an outstanding lawyer. Steve communicated legal jargon so even complicated information was simple to comprehend. He is easy to talk with, and he is an attentive listener. Steve is someone you can trust. I am grateful and appreciative of the great service he provided and highly recommend him for your legal needs.

Litigation lawyer | Jan 11

Relationship: Co-worker

"I endorse this lawyer. Steven Leibel is probably the best civil litigation I have ever encountered in my almost 20 years of practice which includes the large metropolitan areas of Seattle, WA and Minneapolis, MN. He is an attorney you can count on to tell you what you need to hear (as opposed to what you want to hear) which is exactly how your attorney should be. If I had a civil matter that required a lawyer I would hire attorney Steven Leibel in a heartbeat. And so should you."

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.
