Excellent Lawyer

Steve is a fantastic lawyer. Steve was recommended to us when our family was in a car accident as a result from being hit by a drunk driver. He was very knowledgeable and helpful in resolving our case. He kept us informed along the way and answered all of our questions. We would recommend him to ever...yone.

Always there for you !

I hired Steven for a workers comp case. I injured my back at work . The company I worked for wasn't paying me for the time off work and also fighting not to cover medical care . The case went on about 8 years with multiple surgeries and a lot of time off of work . After hiring Steven all my problems ...and confusion disappeared .Steve always explained things thoroughly , always retuned phone calls promptly , and ALWAYS had my best interest in mind . I would grade Steven 6 stars in a 5 star situation !

Top notch

I was in an accident and felt like life just kicked me once again and was left with a neck injury and no vehicle. He met with me and was honest. I knew what to do and he made me feel hope for once in a long time. He handled everything and all I had to do is communicate when there was an update. He wa...s very understanding of what I was going through and followed through on all he said he would. He made my life 100x easier and took alot of my worries away about how I would get my life back to normal. My only worries were getting healed and finding a good vehicle. He was very easy to talk to and made sure I understood exactly what was going on and if I didn't understand he explained in ways I could understand. I highly recommend Steve and the firm they are all wonderful people and do a great job.

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.
