Mr. Hammers did an outstanding job representing our interests. He was very clear in his explanations, he gave good rational advice and was always available for consultation. Even when it was not always to his best financial interests, he gave his best efforts to protect our position.

Mr. Hammers supported me during a very stressful litigation. He was never "off duty" if I needed him. What a great guy to have as your advocate. Super easy to deal with, but I definitely has that edge needed to be a good litigator... I saw him in action, & he's impressive!
"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. 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."
