Highly recommend takes on complex cases.

Years ago, I faced a complicated situation where my husband (now ex-husband) secretly filed for divorce in my home country (where we were married) in 2023. I consulted several lawyers regarding my case, and most of them couldn't take it. My friend introduced me to Steven. Only Steven was willing to t...ake my case and wasn't deterred by the ongoing divorce proceedings in my home country. With a firm heart, I trusted that he would help me, especially given my limited financial resources. In August 2024, he filed for divorce in Phoenix. Steven always said, "Let's wait for the decision from there and be patient." Thank God, in October 2024, I won the case in my home country, and Steven immediately resumed the divorce proceedings that had been pending in Phoenix. Finally, in September 2025, we were officially divorced in Phoenix. Steven has a lot of experience; he is firm and serious, but sometimes he likes to joke. Thank you, Steven, for helping me so much with my very unique case, which he said was the first of its kind he had handled. I have no doubt about Steven's work; he is very busy with several clients, but he will never forget you. Maintaining communication and honesty are crucial for achieving success. Keep up the good work, Steven! I will recommend Steven to anyone who truly needs a lawyer, especially for problems that other lawyers can't handle.

Job well done the first time

Mr. Sufrin was knowledgeable, understanding, and patient in his handling of my divorce and related matters. Through every challenge my court case brought, he was always there for me. During what was surely the worse time of my life, Mr. Sufrin brought compassion and professionalism to the task at h...and and I achieved the results that were best for my children and myself. I would highly recommend Mr. Sufrin for any and all family law matters. Should I require family law representation in the future, I would not hesitate to use his skills.

Attentive, Compassionate and Informative

During an extremely painful separation and divorce, I found Steve Sufrin to be all of the aforementioned and more. He returned all my calls and calmed my fears. He truly cared about me and my children and how a divorce affects everyone involved. I feel truly blessed to have found him!

Stuck by my side.

I was in the beginning of a mixed up confusing divorce. I sought Steve for legal aid. After the free consultation, I had hired the man. He made every thing transition very smoothly, and helped me along accepting payments. That meant a lot to me, as I was trying to put myself together at the same time.... As time went on, and I am a worry some guy, always geared up for the worse, Steven embraced it, and guided me step by step. In the end of things, I got everything I was asking hoping for. Steve did a fantastic job, and I couldn't be happier. No only with the handling of the case, but dealing with the emotional roller coaster I was on. I would, definitely recommend Steven Sufrin. He cares, he listens, and most of all, he will guide you to the correct coarse of action. Thank you Steve, for everything.
