This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Very knowledgable and compassionate

Mr. Stevens agreed to help with my case at the last minute before the court hearing. He re--arranged his schedule to represent me at the hearing the next day. He is very knowledgeable, experienced, gave me lots of good advice and feels all the pains of injured workers. I am impressed by his knowledge... and kindness.

Workers compensation lawyer | Apr 01

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Howard Stevens possesses a wealth of practical knowledge of how the California workers' compensation system works, both as a managing attorney of a large law firm that represents defendants and as an in-the-trenches litigator. Also he has written several professional articles aimed at practicing workers' compensation attorneys. He knows his stuff. Now that he is on the side of injured workers, Mr. Stevens' clients will benefit as he knows how the other side evaluates and litigates claims."

Workers compensation lawyer | Mar 14

Relationship: Co-worker

"Mr. Stevens is an honored attorney practicing in the California Workers' Compensation field for many, many years, and has been an influential mentor to the industry and many of its practitioners. He has been an advocate before the Workers' Compensation Appeal Board (WCAB), and has also devoted his own time to act as a Pro Tem Judge for that tribunal. I would recommend his services to anyone in need of representation before the WCAB, and without reservation suggest him due to his expertise in this field of law, the depth of his experience which he brings to his clients and their issues, and the passion he devotes to the representation of his clientele."

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.
