Divorce

Steve was referred to me by a Real Estate Attorney that I've known for over 20 years. Since then I have referred him to a handful of colleagues and friends. All, including myself, have been more than satisfied with his services. Steve's knowledge of divorce, finances and etc., are far beyond most att...orneys. Prior to hiring Steve, I had interviewed 3 other divorce attorneys, Steve was by far the most competent and knowledgeable. Divorce is a stressful situation, so when you as a client are not being level headed, he does a great job of keeping you on the right tract. Lastly, I always felt like his advise was based upon what was best for me as his client vs what may have been more advantageous for him. I have and I will continue to refer him to anyone who is in need of a good attorney.

Mistake

I met Steve, shook his hand and felt confident. After a retainer, he handed me over immediately to a woman in the firm. An angry, pregnant woman. Let's make a long story short. I got zero, nada, nothing, zilch, and still owed this firm thousands of dollars. They were the worst! I have not and never ...will rec them. Why I haven't given them a review before now is bad on my part. Sorry if you retained them.

Divorce Consoltation

I am recommending Steve Nordhoff due to the quality and validity of the information he provided me to assit me in making an informed decision. He was through and talked me through a very difficult situation. His years of practice were evident as he knew everything I needed to know and how to accompli...sh it during such a complicated time in my life. Thank you Steve!

Thoughtful, caring and extraordinary

I'm in the business of guest service at an ultra-luxury resort and have been over 25 years. Through personal and work experiences I have utilized the services of many attorneys in the fields of labor law, contract law as well as medical and family law. Seeking the advice of a extremely competent, sha...rp and intuitive lawyer is absolutely necessary in my world as none of the cases are neither simple nor easy. Mr Nordhoff has been a remarkable example of what a professional, compassionate, fair minded and yet assertive advisor should be. He had handled the divorces of three people i know and had referred me to expert lawyers in fields he doesnt cover. Two weeks ago i had fhe need to personally utilize him during an emotionally charged situation involving child custody/support and his clear, expert and precise advice difused the issue better than I ever expected. I highly recommend Mr. Nordhoff to anyone looking for tough, fair and expert advise.

Professional, knowledgeable and caring attorney

From the moment I met with Steve, I felt comforted that Steve had my best interest at heart. Under difficult circumstances, Steve was extremely professional and respectful in all aspects of the divorce proceedings (even with opposing counsel). Steve, was fair, reassuring, and with his direction we... came to a favorable dissolution settlement. Even in his extremely busy practice, I always felt like a priority. My calls/emails were returned promptly, at all hours.
