What a great, kind, and knowledgeable man!

What a Great man!!! So easy for me to talk to and I felt he really cared! Really! I would most certainly recommend him for any of your real estate questions. He is also very knowledgeable! Thank you so much Steve! You are a gem.

Steve's council was invaluable to our issue

Steve advised us regarding a neighborhood property use dispute. He is very experienced in these matters and laid out in plain language the options he saw for us. Litigation, as one option, was explained along with the steps, likely financial costs, time frame, and likely conclusion. We decided to... not litigate, are very happy with that decision, and it was Steve's professional guidance that made it clear what path to follow. We will call Steve first, the next time we need an attorney.

Top notch legal representation

I was involved in an extremely contentious business lawsuit. Steve was referred to me by my personal attorney due to a conflict of interest. I was under an extreme time constraint to obtain representation. Steve stepped up with little time or preparation and definitely lived up to the reputation h...e was reported to have. In the end we prevailed and he made the opposing attorney look like a mere amateur. I could not give him a higher recommendation to anyone seeking an experienced litigation attorney!

When You Want the Very Best!

Mr. Steven H Schwartz was referred to us as someone that could help us with the following case. My wife was involved in an accident that happened January 21, 2019 in which she almost lost her life-she was hit by a drunk driver exceeding eighty miles an hour in the rear end of the car she was driving.... Without going into the details of every aspect of this, I would say, we needed the best of legal help we could find, and that's what happened. We contacted Mr. Schwartz and hired him to represent us in any legal matter that would come about as a result of this accident. I am writing this review as of December 27, 2019 - Mr. Schwartz has to this point in time shown us that he is positive, thorough, compassionate, knowledgeable, trustworthy, diligent, intelligent, confident, resourceful, punctual, does what he says he will do, explores every avenue, flexible, highly ethical, and is dedicated to provide the best legal service to our case. Although, this case has not come to an end after eleven months, the end is near, and we can say what a privilege it has been to have had Mr. Schwartz work and represent us. We could not have asked for more. Thanks!
