Honest, Efficient, and Effective

Stephen has been nothing but EFFICIENT and EFFECTIVE in assisting me with reviewing and revising a joint venture agreement for a real estate deal. To be fair, it was not a typical purchase agreement type of transaction. I put a lot of pressure on him with the deadline, yet, Stephen was able to perfor...m on short notice. He was very creative in tackling what I wanted in the contract vs. what I needed in the contract for protection. He was also very detail oriented as I could tell from the transformed contract. With confidence, I can attest to the incredible speed and professionalism he carried throughout his assistance. Thank you, Stephen! Pro Tip: Send a DETAILED email with your case. He's a very honest guy, so he'll tell you after the consultation whether he can further assist you or not. There's got to be lawyers out there who take on any case just to send you big invoices, but Stephen isn't like that. Good luck! Send him a detailed email to see if he can help you!

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.
