Posted by Les | June 05, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Steve Buchwalter is a trustworthy attorney

We were sued by a bad guy in LA and we used Steve as our attorney. We won the case. Since we knew very little in the lawsuit matter, we counted on Steve to handle everything for us. We took his advice, followed his instruction, signed the papers he prepared for us and waited for his updates. The o...nly thing we did was to write up a detailed description on the matter we were sued. Everything else was done by Steve. Steve tried to save us money by using his paralegal whenever it was possible. Each month, he sent us a detailed bill on which there were details of the charges. So we knew where the money had gone. There was a time we thought Steve would need to present to a court hearing. But he called us and told us that he decided not to present, and he further explained to us why a no-show would be good to us in that specific situation. To us, the cost was reduced because we didn't need to pay for his time to show up in the court. At the end of the month when we looked at the bill, we found that he didn't even charge the time in the above phone call to us! He uses his time wisely, knowing spending his time means the cost to clients. I can see that he puts the benefits of the clients in front of his own. I hope I will never get into another lawsuit in LA. But if I did, Steve would be the first attorney I would call.
