Never showed up to court missed filings

Mr. Stolar never showed up to court over 3 times and missed several critical deadlines on my case. I ended up getting sanctioned and this can be proven with court records. Furthermore please be aware he operates with a suspended corporation and carries no malpractice insurance and does not disclose... this. This is a matter of public record, Also his attorney license is suspended and is currently under bar investigation. Please also research Los Angeles Superior Court records for all lawsuits relating to malpractice filed against him. All this information is verifiable via public records.

The Best!

I cant say enough good things about Steven Stolar and his team of lawyers. Steven always returned my calls and answered my questions. Mr. Stolar with the help from his associate was was able to negotiate a reasonable solution to my case. They did what other law firms could not do. I couldn't be ha...ppier with their services and I would recommend them to anyone.

I highly recommend Steven Stolar Law Firm

I have to say that these guys are amazing and have gone above and beyond for me and my family. I can start with Jenny Barizian who has made this difficult time in my life so much easier. She is probably one of the smartest and sweetest woman I've ever met and she is on point with everything she does.... Steven Stolar is a very professional man who I trust completely and last but not least is Bill Hinz who was my attorney and his performance exceeded my expectations. I can't thank him enough! If you need legal representation Steven Stolar Law is the way to go!!

GREAT!

Where do I begin. My family law matter was a very long one. I was scared, nervous and extremely emotional. I really loved the fact that Steven and his team were very professional and honest. They kept me grounded and was very real with me in regards to all issues. He and his associates addressed ever...y single concern, understood me, empathized, and made my process all easier. Everyone at the office too, they are on top of things, answer quickly and overall kind. When you go into a sensitive process that can also be lengthy, having someone kind definitely helps the journey. I'm so grateful I hired Stolar & Associates, APLC.

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.
