About Stephen
Biography
My practice covers a broad range of civil litigation and transactional matters. I routinely represent corporate, individual, and insurance-based clients on high-exposure complex matters all throughout Southern California in both state and federal courts. I have substantial experience in contract law, business disputes, real estate law, catastrophic injury claims, construction defects, contractor disputes, environmental law, business formation, and commercial landlord-tenant matters.
From prelawsuit strategy to ultimate resolution of each case through mediation, arbitration, settlement, trial or appeals, I am consistently praised for my ability to efficiently achieve successful results for my clients.

Personal injury case
I found Stephen to be a nice, friendly guy. I was in an accident and he helped me with my personal injury case. He was very helpful, always kept me up to date and never left me wondering what was going on. He got me what I deserved and I thank him for that.
