Outstanding Lawyer!

My siblings and I hired Steve to help us with a lawsuit regarding matters over the recent death of a family member. None of us had been involved in a lawsuit before and Steve was genuine and honest throughout the whole case. He kept us all calm and in the loop, and never once made it seem like we a b...urden, even with the simplest questions. He is incredibly knowledgeable and is not afraid to take on challenges. Most of all he showed he truly cared about us and our needs, by taking our individual concerns into consideration with every letter, move or motion he made during the case. He is incredibly respectful inside and outside the courtroom, but is also resilient and tough. Trust me, you'll want Steve and his team representing you!

Posted by Jarrod | November 16, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Personal Injury

So glad that Steve took my case

I called Steve after seeing his name on here and I could not be more happy with his performance. He has been honest and a man of his word. He calls when he says he is going to call which to me meant I was important to him as a client. He has been straight forward with me about my case the whole time.... These reviews are not my strong suit so I guess what I am trying to say is that I trust and respect him a 100% and would recommend him to anyone that is in need of a personal injury lawyer.

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.
