Awesome

First time I’ve needed legal help with a unruly landlord. Steve was super quick with the info and got the job done in the end. Really helpful during a time of need.

Professional

This was my first time getting into a car accident and having to go through the process of getting a lawyer, filing a claim for repairs, and additional compensation. Steve was very professional and made the process smooth for me. He was very informative when answering any questions i had, always kept... me up to date with any new details, and made sure that every decision made was in the best interest of me. I would 100% recommended this law firm.

Honest and simply the best at what he does!

Steve is the best! he has represented my husband and i when we got into some landlord tenant issue. He has also worked with my sisters and my mother on a number of legal issues throughout the course of several years, and has always fought for us, Steve has always been honest, reliable, great communic...ator. He is very professional and gets back to you very quickly. Steve has become my families go-to guy when any legal issue arise. I highly recommend his services!

Great Attorney!

It was my first experience with any attorney and I can definitely recommend Steve McCann. He helped me with the case where the other lawyers didn’t give me any hope.

"I endorse this lawyer. Litigation is always confusing and frustrating. You are at the mercy of the courts, opposing counsel, and now coronaviruses! That's why having a champion like Steve McCann in your corner is the best way to stay sane during the process and come out a winner at the end. Many (most?) lawyers are so impressed with their skills they forget that the client and the client's needs are most important. Steve has the skills and never loses sight of the goal: Serve The Client."

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.
