Posted by Cayce | September 14, 2021 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Intelligent and Effective

I've worked with Stephen on several cases, complicated ones that required a certain level of legal sophistication that many lawyers just don't have. That's the kind of lawyer you want to work with and by extension the kind you want to hire for yourself when needed.

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.
