Knowledgable, Available, Sensible and Ethical!

I was introduced to Steve when he was in-house counsel for a real estate investment firm. Since then I've come to know him personally, as well as hire him to help me with my needs as he's worked in private practice. I'm an independent residential real estate broker and I also purchase and flip a hand...ful of properties each year. Steve made the process of developing solid legal agreements that are easy to understand, inform my investors well, while protecting me very well, extremely easy. He is extraordinarily well-versed in any matters relating to land as well. He understands how to mitigate risk. I consult with him frequently and I wouldn't hesitate to hire him on any variety of real estate matters, and I expect that will continue to be the case. If you value an ethical, honest but serious approach to an attorney representing your real estate interests, I highly recommend Steve Romanoff.

CEO

I have hired Steven Romanoff on several occasions to facilitate mortgage notes and first deeds of trust. He has amazing bedside manners, and handles business efficiently and accurately. He is such a pleasure to work with. I would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat.

Great!

My husband and I moved to the west coast from the east coast over a year ago, and Steven was a big help with our real estate purchase. We would definitely recommend Steven especially if you are new to the La Jolla, CA area.

Real estate lawyer | Jan 07

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I am writing to endorse Steven M. Romanoff as an outstanding real estate attorney. Notwithstanding his proven skills as an extremely capable trial lawyer, Steven has emphasized win-win goal-oriented results through intelligent and meaningful negotiations as the backbone of his thriving practice that has focused on complex commercial loans and transactional real estate cases for more than a quarter century. Steven is one of the most ethical, efficient, hard working, problem solving and tenacious lawyers I have ever met. My opinion of Steven has been bolstered time and again whenever I needed to engage his office for help with a variety of real estate matters over the past two decades."

  • 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.
