Mrs.
Mr. Stephens is an exceptional attorney. He has represented me in 2cases. He’s personable, trustworthy, honest, and knowledgeable. Mr. Stephens takes the time to listen to his clients and makes himself available any time day or night. I would highly recommend Mr. Stephens to anyone in need of an attorney. His office staff is also wonderful to work with. One case was settled to my satisfaction and one is pending.
