Bullied by an Insurance Company
Mr. Parson is an attorney that is experienced, knowledgable, and focused on helping others. Although I did not retain Mr. Parsons, he was extremely helpful in providing pivotal advice and the first steps in dealing with a dispute with my health insurance company. Here is an attorney that is here to help, not just make a dollar.

Mr. Parsons is the BEST Attorney to have on your side!
Mr. Parsons helped my husband out of a legal jam a while ago with just a letter to the company. Mr. Parsons name on a letter has that much weight! With Mr. Parsons having that much clout in his field, he is still ever so humble a man. He treats you with the golden rule "Treat others as you wish to be treated"! His help to my family have always been appreciated. He is the BEST ATTORNEY around. I hope you never need one, but if you do, GO TO STEVEN PARSONS!!!!

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2017.

Reprimanded issued in NV, 2017
updated on 10/13/2023

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
