Great Divorce Attorney

Steve Nordhoff did a great job dealing with my angry, intimidating ex husband. He was patient and professional. He was able to get me great spousal support and was fair in his dealings with both sides. He was honest and hard working. I was very impressed with his research into the retirement accounts... my ex had. He gave me great advice. I would recommend him to any of my friends.

Family law review

I was in need of a lawyer and was referred by another lawyer who was retiring. I met Mr Nordhoff in his office. His staff was friendly and the office small but adequate. He answered my questions and was able to rewrite a family trust. I have since referred 2 friends to Mr Nordhoff.

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.

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.
