Someone who you can trust.
I met Steve a few months ago, while I was going through a messy bankruptcy. He made me very comfortable. Answered all my questions. I am now his client. I would recommend him to anyone who seeks a attorney with the knowledge he posses.

Smooth effortless process
After researching several attorneys I felt comfortable with Wolvek Law for the simple fact that I didn't feel like I was talking to a salesman. Everthing was "matter of fact" without a bunch of uneccesary fluff. I filed my Chapter 7 through this practice, I had some mild efforts that were needed on my part to generate the whole process, but from there everything was simple. At our public meetings all the paperwork was in order and the attorney was present. Going through the bankruptcy was a last resort but it was needed. Steven's assistance and knowledge made everthing a lot easier than I expected. Good service overall.

Wish I Had Him The First Time Around
Steve is unbelievably calm, cool, collected--EXTREMELY knowledgeable--and a balanced and fair attorney. This was my 2nd time around through the child support process and the headaches that go along with all the filings and back and forth with the other party. Steve took care of everything this time and it was the easiest most stress-free legal process I've ever been through. Going through these kinds of things is scary and overwhelming because of all the stories you hear about how things can go bad (and how they might have gone bad for you in the past). Steve removes all that and in the end, makes the whole arduous journey feel like it never happened. Obviously, I cannot recommend Steve enough.

Best Attorney
Let me start of by saying divorce and family law can be a difficult journey. So before hiring Steve I had 3 other consultations and spoke with couple of attorneys who are good friends of mine but specialize in business law. When I spoke with Steve I knew right away he was passionate about what he does; so I hired him. It was the best decision I made. He is honest, accessible and hard working not to mention he really cares about his clients and keeps them on track with the end result. If I can give him 10 stars I would. -Amy

A partner who makes it easier
We just got our discharge notification, and we’re so grateful for Steven’s help through the whole process. He made it easy to gather all the docs, explain the process, and hit the milestones along the way. He’s personable and we do feel he looks out for the interests of his clients. Steven is a great partner!

Custody case
I consulted and hired him for my custody case. He was very organised with the court dates, consistently updated me with the case movement and changes. He thoroughly explained to me all the legal process involved. When all the court hearings were done, he was able to win my case and got me FULL custody of my kids. He was very helpful, he fought for me like the kids were his. I would definitely recommend him. Thank you! :)

Reputable Representation
Steve's professionalism and candor earned my respect for the way he handled my case. I know very well that I would may never have gotten the results I did without his guidance and support. It's the best decision I made for my situation. I have a very large stack of correspondence that was sent back and forth keeping me updated throughout this case. Steve answered every question I had. I felt important to him as a person and not that I was "just another case". I have a high regard for his ethics and morals. Thank you Steven Wolvek for representing in hard times.

I Wish I Could Give More Stars
I had been wrestling with a very difficult, draining and painful situation regarding my son for years and finally decided to enlist the help of an attorney. After speaking to several law offices and not feeling overly confident with any of them, a good friend recommended I talk to Steve. By the halfway mark of the consultation I was fully convinced that Steve was the right attorney for me and hired him. My experience with Steve has been nothing but outstanding. He has helped me through the process, taking the time to explain everything in great detail and answer any and all questions/concerns I've had along the way. To be clear, I had A LOT of questions and was absolutely not the easiest client to deal with at times, given the emotional nature of the case. Steve never complained once, always took the time to ease my mind and helped me keep my focus fixed on the light at the end of the tunnel. The man is truly a pillar of kindness and patience. Not only is Steve a phenomenal lawyer, he is a genuinely good, honest man who has imparted some incredibly valuable advice to me that has helped me immensely. He's even given me gardening advice! Steve worked tirelessly on my case, going above and beyond to accomplish everything and do so in an incredibly efficient manner, resulting in our winning of my case and obtaining full legal and physical custody of my son. Steve continues to help me protect my son and I am eternally thankful for his hard work. If you read this and need an attorney, you will not find a better one than Steve Wolvek. Making the decision to call Steve and hire him is one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life and that is not hyperbole.

Steve was very responsive and attentive throughout Legal process. He gives realistic expectations and advice. I have already recommended him. Hopefully I'll never need his services again, but if I ever do I will definitely call.

Steven won my case
I was going crazy because after more than 5 yrs. The father of my children wanted to take his visitation with my youngest child. She was having panic attacks. Then my brother recommended Steven and he was right. Steven not only helped us with that, but he was a good friend and he explained everything in a simple way so that I can understand. Now my daughter can be confident again and she will see a specialist before just going to the hands of a stranger, because that is exactly what her father is. A stranger. Now she has a safe place to start a therapy.

EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS
Attorney Steven Abraham Wolvek is empathetic, professional, and sharp. He was such a great help to me. He works non-stop to make sure his clients are taken care of and all their needs are met, going the extra mile especially during COVID-19. He was recommended to me by complete strangers off of a neighborhood Facebook group. He was there highly recommended. I am so happy I went with my gut and became his client. I now look forward to my debt freedom. Thank you so much Mr. Wolvek!

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
We consulted with Steve over 5 ys ago to discuss Chapter 13 as we were in extreme debt and 7 months behind on our mortgage. Our property value had dropped and we had a second on the property for $120k. We felt there was no hope, but one call to Steve and he gave us some great advice that truly benefited us. He spent a lot of time talking with us, not at us. Now five years later we are in great shape and saved over $120k on what we owe on our home. We can't thank you enough Steve for your expertise and kindness in helping us navigate the process.

I was lucky to have found this great attorney
I received the best experience with Mr. Steven Wolvek. He was knowledgeable and kept me informed throughout my case. My case seemed very complicated with my real-estate property and thanks to Mr. Wolvek, he made everything less stressful and took his time to explain the process to me. My words can't describe just how trustworthy and caring he is. He is very knowledgeable and professional. My case was a success. I definitely recommend Mr. Wolvek to everyone. I am thankful that I had such an amazing attorney to help me. He absolutely deserves more than five stars.

When I arrived at my bankruptcy hearing I found that every detail had been taken care of by Mr Wolvek. Of all the people at the hearing mine was the easiest with no further questions I had to answer. Thanks very much

Absolutely Amazing
He was my second divorce attorney (I fired the first one) and I am so appreciative of everything Steve did. Everything was about cost, moving the process along and keeping me in the loop. He always took my calls and didn't bill me for nearly as much as he could have. I was shocked on how much cheaper my fees were when compared to other people who went through divorce proceedings. I can guarantee he will not push you through a bunch of theatrics and bill you for the them. The man is honest and knowledgeable about the law, what your options are and the possible outcomes of those options. The man gave me back my freedom. Thank you Mr. Wolvek!

Chapter 13 service.
I hired Steven's office back in September 2012 to represent me with my chapter 13 filing (Reorganization program). I was in a five (5) year payment plan that just concluded in October 2017. I received my successful discharge from the court in early January this year. Threw out my five years of going threw this program I had to contact Steve's office several times for various reason, tax return issues, payment modifications, mortgage issues etc etc. Steven was there to help and assist me every single time. Weather I called or emailed him he would respond immediately. I would also use his website to schedule consultations which was super easy & convenient. The entire experience from start to finish was extremely pleasant and I'm very happy that I had Steven's office help me with this case.

Review
Mr. Wolvek's knowledge and experience helped us get through one of the toughest situation we've ever been in. He was very supportive, comprehensive and informative. He relived some of the stress by being supportive, speaking to us in a personal level not just as a client and made us feel comfortable. We thank you!
