Exceptional, Ethical & Professional

We had the pleasure of meeting Steve Ajalat at his office in North Hollywood. His brother, Greg introduced my husband and I to him. Greg took the time to sit with Steve as we explained our case. We came in knowing that we would most probably retain Steve, since we had already liked Greg’s profession...alism, sincerity and honesty, as he had helped us review some legal documents previously. Retaining Steve for our case was the best decision we made. During an extremely stressful period in our lives, he was most definitely the one who brought clarity and calmness into our lives. Steve is an absolute professional. He is an avid listener and sympathizes with your concerns. His advice is practical in nature, and is well thought out to bring about the most effective resolution. Steve could have easily taken our frustrations and applied it to his benefit, complicating the case and further prolonging our conflict. Instead, time and time again, Steve advised us towards the right direction, taking our best interest into consideration. He remained professional throughout the entire period, even though at times, there were unprofessional comments thrown at him from the other party. He kept his composure throughout. Steve is ethical, professional and honest, qualities that you would want in an attorney. He is an excellent judge of character, and reacts appropriately and thoughtfully to situations that are more difficult to handle. Steve’s office staff is equally professional, helpful and genuine. Thank you Steve for everything, you are truly exceptional!

Avvo Rating

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.
