Valerie Ines Steiner

Valerie and her team held my hand every step through the divorce process. Her experience, expertise and understanding for the Lake County Court system is invaluable. She is ethical, honest, levelheaded and fair especially as she guided me through several complex situations. During emergencies her and... her team jumped into action, all hands-on deck, and were available outside of working hours. Valerie's passion for her work and her clients is unique in this field. She came highly recommended to me and is respected by her peers. I, 110%, recommend Steiner Howeth Pasquesi & Hatch!!

I highly recommend Valerie to anyone in need of a family law attorney. She is not only incredibly knowledgable, she is fierce and confident, yet kind, patient, and understanding. She knows what she is doing and never for one second did I feel worried while my case was in her hands. I interviewed seve...ral family law attorneys, and will continue to utilize her for any legal needs pertaining to my divorce/custody issues. We went on a 21 month journey together and she took care of me the entire way through. Thanks again Val,

Valerie jumped in to help me with my divorce after I previous attorney did not do the job correctly. She corrected many things and was extremely professional, kind and very easy to work with. When she said she would call she did. If she was late she had someone call to tell me. When I spoke with her... she was patient and never rushed me. She is smart as a whip and knows everything there is to know about divorce. She also knows how to explain it to you so you understand the legal language. She is also extremely detailed and does not leave out anything. I can't say enough about her.

I started working with Val in the later part of a custody disagreement; up until then I had worked primarily with her partner. I found her to be an exceptional communicator, strategic, and appreciated that she came prepared for any situation. Extremely intelligent, honest, and caring. Rare and red...eeming qualities in an attorney.

Valerie was able to quickly assimilate the history and ongoing issues of my case as well as understand my priorities. She was always highly professional and ethical in the most challenging of court situations. She was accessible after normal business hours to provide guidance esp during weekend cris...is. Her prep sessions for court were on target. She was an extraordinary teacher of the specific laws that may have impacted my case. She was highly organized and a masterful negotiator. Valerie’s use of her time, as well as her support staff’s (time) was thoughtful, efficient, and effective. Her support staff was extremely knowledgable and served as excellent resources, too. In summary, Valerie Steiner, her partner, Mary Clark, as well as all of their support staff, made me feel like we were a team working together for the best possible outcome. That level of commitment was felt the first meeting and stayed constant throughout the entire process. I could not have chosen my counsel better for this extraordinarily challenging time. DRB
