This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

BEST CREDIT SPECIALIST

I had eviction removed from my credit report, and I still can’t believe PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST raise my credit score to 804 excellent score within few days. He also helps me apply for PPP loan with the sum of $35k which reflect in my bank account with a low interest rate. I saw a lot of good revi...ews about his works and he would respond swiftly. Hire him: [email protected] you can also call or text on: +1(585) 466 4373.

Very happy with estate planning work done

I have used Steve Oshins and others at his firm multiple times for many years. Steve asked me to write a review and I was happy to do so. I couldn't be more pleased with the work his firm has done with his oversight. He is very responsive too. The first time I emailed him years ago I got a respon...se within a few minutes.

Great attorney

I asked a number of people who to use for my estate planning and Steve's name kept coming up. I was very happy with him and his staff and highly recommend him.

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.
