Honest, Empathetic, Aggressive

Because of Steven, my divorce has been low cost and without drama. Steve has been brutally honest with me in regards to what I’m entitled to but also has fought relentlessly for me without adding unnecessary drama. He has been honest, moral, aggressive, empathetic, and competent. I would guess that a...ny bad review I see is likely from someone who is difficult to work with.

50 days and Zero Contact

Attorney Steven Fritsch was appointed Minor's Counsel for my son for very concerning reasons. Even with many requests to do his job, Steven has proven to be incompetent in protecting and advocating for my son -- 50 days with zero contact with my son (15-year-old). It takes five minutes to call my s...on. Steven has also been very unprofessional. In my first phone call with him, I respectfully asked him, "What's the game plan?" Instead of an empathetic message along the lines of "I'm sorry your family is in this situation. I will be contacting the professionals involved and do my best to represent your son," Steven Fritsch's approach was extremely harsh, rude, and unprofessional: "I don't need to tell you my plan. I don't need your approval." Clearly, our experience of working with him has been very unpleasant and frustrating.

Dishonest

Steven's failure to comprehend the facts and failure to relay those facts in a coherent unbiased way prolonged the parental visitation that was agreed upon. Furthermore, his lack of follow through on simple matters delayed reunion by several months increasing the cost and time associated with the ord...eal, almost as if it was orchestrated.

Steve represented me expertly

It's easy to recommend Steve for his professional services. He helped me settle a challenging case, from which I ended up with a much better result than I had anticipated. Steve has a relaxed and personal approach, and handles legal matters with expert competence.

Steve saved me!!!!!1

Steven helped me through one of the most difficult times in my life. Not only did he demonstrate expertise in his field...he was kind and considerate.

"I worked with Steve when I first got out of law school and he was a great mentor and teacher. His knowledge of the law and ability to relate with clients makes him a great attorney. As a practicing attorney, Steve and I have had cases against each other and he is also a great colleague and adversary. I endorse this lawyer."
