Dont hire this lawyer!!!

Hired Stephen to do a simple premarital agreement. As soon as I paid my retainer everything went downhill. He or his assistant produced a document that in my opinion was written by college student. When my wives attorney looked at it he asked if it was written by me or my attorney. Horrible customer ...service trying to rectify simple wording. Missed all the deadlines we had I almost had to postpone my wedding because he could not complete a simple premarital agreement. DO NOT HIRE THIS GUY!!!

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.
