This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Experienced, Knowledgeable and Outstanding Lawyer

I have had Steve Patience handle two separate matters for bodily injuries I received due to car accidents. I would highly recommend his service. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional. Steve is punctual with returning calls and emails. He cared about my situation and made sure I received ...the settlement I deserved. I can not thank Steve and his team enough for making an uncomfortable and difficult situation into a painless experience. Again, I highly recommend Steve Patience, he provides excellent legal council and peace of mind.

19 Months Too Many

After being involved in major car accident I hired Steve Patience to represent me. The case in question was a clear case of gross negligence. Regardless of this Steve decided to wait almost 19 months before filing a lawsuit against the defendants. By this time the trucking company had filed for ba...nkruptcy. I think he should have done something much sooner than 19 months after the accident happened.

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.
