Best attorney I have ever had

Steven helped me with my divorce, and I came out way better than I thought I would.

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

Interior Designer with Contractor issues

I'm a Designer that had a really bad contractor issue and was not going to pay them anymore then what they were owed after messing my clients job. They came at me threatening to sue and put liens on my clients home. I called a few lawyers from this site and just got the run around. On my last attemp...t to find a lawyer, I called Steven. Out of the 2 lawyers I talked to, he was the ONLY one that I felt that understood my situation I was in. Very knowledgeable. He helped with giving great advise, and then advised the proper steps that I could do on my own before having to retain him. Happy to say that his advise worked. Thank you Steven for your help. I hope I never have to retain you, but will look into getting some contracts worked up on my next job to help protect me in the future.

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.
