Stephen Gregory Hammers's Lawyer Endorsements
"I worked with Steve for 2 years. He is a great litigator who will advocate zealously for his clients in a ethical and cost efficient manner."
"I had the pleasure of working with Steve on a litigation matter involving claims in both California and Washington state courts. I found Steve’s frank communication style and candor refreshing. His interest in ensuring that his client received effective and efficient representation was clear from day one. I would not hesitate to work with Steve again and believe his results based attitude would be an asset to any client."
"I endorse this lawyer. I worked the defense side of a litigation matter with Mr. Hammers, although we represented different clients. Mr. Hammers made superb strategy decisions, had excellent paperwork, and always kept to his word in a professional way. In fact, Mr. Gorham was opposing counsel, and I notice he endorses Steve, which says a lot. A first rate litigator. --William M. (Mike) Hensley"
"Steve and I worked together on a matter where there were cases between the parties filed both in California and Washington. We achieved a great result for the client, and Steve exhibited astute lawyering and a keen appreciation for the client's best interests."
"I endorse this lawyer. Steve is smart and professional, and is also able to operate above the fray and build a positive and constructive relationship with his opposing counsel."
"I endorse this lawyer's work."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Mr. Hammers was a highly competent advocate for his client in a difficult, hotly contested matter. His papers were top-notch, as were his presentations in court, arbitration, and mediation. I would recommend Mr. Hammers without hesitation to those in need of legal services in the area of litigation, especially regarding real estate matters."
"I endorse this lawyer's work."
