ineffective representation

After representing my case for several years, Steve Wasko's appearance at trial was marked by serious misrepresentations and factual errors. When these were pointed out to the judge, she ignored his arguments. Mr. Wasko's irregular billing practices were also a source of confusion. For months on end,... his office sent two separate and contradictory billing statements each pay cycle, a problem they were for some reason unable to resolve. After the trial, it took several months and frequent outreach before his office finally returned the retainer balance.

Best divorce attorney

Steve representing my case for three years, he is knowledgeable, kind, super smart, full of justice. I am grateful forever of all his work done for me. He is such a great and kind man. No words to describe how grateful I am for everything he did for me and my children. I highly recommend Steve.

Hiring Steve will be your best decision!

Steve represented me this last year during a case my ex husband brought against me that was filled with falsehoods. Steve was able to prove him wrong in the courts and my case was more than just successful. I feel heard and protected, which is something money can not buy. Steve will call you out if... you are out of line but he will also fight for you with everything he has. I am lucky to have had him represent me and will continue to use him for any issues going forward. You won't be sorry! Hire Steve, like yesterday!

Highly recommend

My divorce lasted 4 1/2 years due to an uncooperative spouse. It was the worst experience in my life. My saving grace is the representation I received from Mr. Wasko. He not only acted as my advocate but actually got me more than I expected. I highly recommend him.
