Both wise and clever

Each time I needed Steve's help, his strategy and tactics were the best possible. He outsmarted the opponent in about a half-dozen miscellaneous situations. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Common sense, wisdom and cleverness make Steve a top-notch attorney.

Steve took it to court. We won fast.

Steve really seemed to have all the answers up front and went after the other side in strong fashion. Ended up with just one hearing and we were done and really happy with the result. Good communication throughout. On point in the documentation and really good in court. Would definitely recommend.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Really helpful and everything worked out much better than expected.

I was referred to Steve's firm by another firm that handled my divorce. I had a difficult (well I thought it would be) issue with a commercial contract and an investment account and a breach which locked up everything I had. Steve went through everything with me then took a few days before coming bac...k with a great solution which meant we didn't even go to court. Would definitely recommend if you have a complex case.

Great lawyer and saved me a lot of money

I used Steve after having a bad time with another lawyer who seemed to find new ways to build costs and never give me any option but a long drawn out lawsuit. I had a complicated contractual dispute which involved 3 companies. Steve came up with an option I'd never thought of and found a way to bri...ng the whole mess to a conclusion that was good for me and made it unpalatable for those I was suing to attempt a defence. I just wish I had found him 9 months and $55,000 earlier.
