This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Thank you so, so much

Steve, his son Justin and the entire staff were so friendly, helpful and welcoming. I was in a work related accident and Mr. Effres knew that I was not at fault, and fought hard long hours to resolve my case. Frequent phone calls with updates, every question or concern answered, listened to everythin...g I said. I am very grateful that Mr. Effres chose to represent me. I highly recommend his law firm and he will do whatever it takes to win. I really don’t know how to thank him/them enough…

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

An impressive, kind professional

Mr. Effres was extremely helpful to me in my search for the right attorney for my situation. He selflessly listened and engaged in a very respectful and cogent way. In the conversation his intellect, professionalism, and most important personal ethics became quite apparent. While he did not repres...ent me, I believe one would be very well served by him as their attorney.

Invested

Highly ethical attorney with a sincere and dedicated approach to his clients and practice. Without a doubt, a very reputable, highly recommended and top notch civil litigator in the areas of serious injury and medical/dental malpractice and wrongful death. Having known him professionally for over 15 ...years, I would absolutely trust him from start to finish in his advocacy, expertise and dedication.

  • 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.
