A great lawyer who listens to you and gets results

I was injured at work three separate times. Stephen was so patient with me, taking the time to listen to all of my concerns, even attending some of my medical appointments. He did everything humanly possible to convince his opponent that they were incorrect on the many disputed issues. Ultima...tely, he successfully got all of my medical treatment, including shoulder surgery) paid for by my employer (when they had refused even a diagnostic test of the shoulder initially), and settled my two separate claims for my injuries for far more money than I had ever expected. Stephen was a gem in that he honestly cared about me as a person and got great results for me without ever forgetting to ask how I was doing. He was extremely responsive, never failing to return a phone call or email the very same day. I highly recommend him! -

Very Disappointed

I think that my background played more of a part in my Settlement than anything... I have a felony yes , but its over 8 years old with no trouble since then .. On July 21 2013 my Bathroom ceiling fell on my head while I was 6 months pregnant... I suffered a concussion, and because I was pregnant ha...d to live with the pain of the concussion... Headaches, nausea sleepless nights ... And a number of other issues... My landlord at the time felt guilty and elected not to accept rent ... So for the last 5 months of my Lease . wasn't allowed to pay ... Which ended in me being evicted... I'm saying all this to say ... That even tho I had Several pictures and Video of the actual ceiling falling ... I lost my case and only ended up with about 1,000 .. Because of my background and the eviction... Not on the fact that this incident ruined my life , and not on the fact I was really injured.. I feel as a attorney he didn't fight as hard as he could .. I feel I should have went with another attorney... I feel like I was pretty judged.. And he himself didn't believe that I deserve to win .... So No matter how much evidence you have if you have background don't go with him as a attorney... The settlement that he got me was a reflection to me of the energy and effort he put into my Case....
