Never again

I feel that Steven failed as a professional. He should have behaved like less of a psychologist and a know-it-all, and he should have asked me more pointed questions to get to the bottom of the legal aspects of my situation. He gave me 3 pieces of bad/ erroneous advice. I called and confronted him... about my experience after taking his advice. He verbally told me he would refund half my money, and when I asked for it later, he was not true to his word. As a professional myself, if I don't have experience with something, I don't advise my clients as though I do. From both a business and legal advice perspective, I would absolutely never recommend this gentleman to anyone.
