Steven Edward Wasko

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.

Steve did my divorce 3 years ago. It took 6 weeks and I got a fantastic deal. I interviewed several lawyers and as soon as I met Steve I knew he was the lawyer for me. He is personable, professional, and compassionate. His knowledge of divorce law is profound. My ex-husband and I signed an agreem...ent in a week and six-weeks later I was divorced. It was as painless as a divorce can be. Steve walked me through the court proceedings before my appearance so I knew exactly what to expect when I walked into the courtroom. I felt like he was on my side every step of the way. The thing that makes Steve special is that he doesn't chase fees. My divorce had the potential to be lengthy and expensive but Steve was able to bypass all the drama. My settlement was favorable and I am very comfortable financially. He is accessible and always returns calls. And he's funny, kind, and charming and I am eternally grateful to him.

I used Steve for my very simple divorce. He was great in court and the judge heard our case first. That was in June, since then I have called him at least 50 times. He nor his office has not returned a call. The only thing I have received was another bill. I have had some very serious issues with my ...x regarding my children and custody and the police have been involved. I left messages and text and spoke with the girl in the office...still no reply from Steve. This has been very disappointing and aggravating considering my children custody could be on the line and I have already pId him $3600. If you decided to go with him I suggest you make sure he has time for you or your case will make him enough money.

He appeared to be very diligent with preparation while accumulating fees. One recommendation about a meeting requiring three lawyers for two hours was in my opinion an expensive waste of time and money that did not produce any result. The disappointing part was at the crescendo when he was from my pe...rspective ineffective in front of the judge. Seems to just be going through the motions (I could say this about the judge as well). And then after much prodding he provided the weakest invoice I have ever seen. No detail just a lump amount with out any accounting that swallowed 98% of the retainer.
