Exceptional lawyer, exception human being
I have been a client of Mr. Kuhn for many years. Though his skills are exceptional, what is most outstanding about him in his character. To find an advocate who truly places his abilities in motion for the best interests of the client alone is very rare in today's dog-eat-dog world.

Technology Wins the Case
Steve's law firm has such respect among his fellow lawyers and judges that they selected his partner, Dave Belz, for a vacant judicial position. I first met Steve and Dave in September 1998 installing cutting-edge information technology for their office. I later learned as a client in a persona...

Review from Steve Polito
The most important thing about Steve is his honesty. I feel I can call him about any legal matter at any time and get an honest answer and he never forgets to get back with you quickly. I believe that his background as a trial lawyer gives him an edge over other attorneys in our area.

"Mr. Kuhn is a great advocate. He was an incredible defense attorney and golfer. Now he is an understanding and savvy mediator and golfer. I endorse Mr. Kuhn."
"Steve Kuhn is a very knowledgeable and caring advocate and mediator. In addition to providing his clients outstanding representation over the years, Steve has now focused his practice on helping others resolve their matters through mediation. I have mediated a number of a cases with Steve and find him to be an excellent mediator. His expertise instills confidence in those with whom he imparts his perspectives and insights. He works tirelessly to help parties reach fair resolutions, and I endorse him wholeheartedly."
"I endorse this lawyer. If you want to settle a claim for fair value at mediation Steve is your man. I just nominated Steve as one of the top 50 Neutrals in Southern California for a story being published in the Daily Journal. Steve was one of my 3 picks. The fact that he has only been a Neutral full time for a little over a year is incredible in that not only does he have a following on both sides of the Personal Injury fence but that he conducts his mediations as if he has been doing them his entire life. Not only do I endorse Steve Kuhn as one of the top Neutrals in Southern California but I HIGHLY endorse Steve Kuhn in his speciality of mediating Personal Injury claims."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Mr. Kuhn for over 20 years, both as an adversary and as an arbitrator. I always found him to be extremely fair and professional, with unparalleled knowledge and understanding in the personal injury field. My experience with him as an arbitrator leads me to the conclusion that he is and will be an excellent mediator."
"I worked with Steve 30 years ago when I first started practicing law. Since that time I have relied upon Steve when my clients have needed services in the area of personal injury litigation. Steve has always provided them with thoughtful and expert analysis of the issues presented. All of the clients that I have referred to Steve for personal injury work have reported a high degree of satisfaction with his work. I wholeheartedly endorse the legal services of Mr. Kuhn."
"As another experienced lawyer, I enthusiastically endorse this lawyer's work! I have known Steve Kuhn as a personal injury lawyer for over 25 years. Since meeting him and learning of his superior skills in this area I have referred my own family law clients, friends, employees and other lawyers to him for help and excellent representation in their personal injury cases. When I first started to practice law I handled a few personal injury cases, before becoming a family law specialist, and I sought and recieved assistance and guidance from Steve. I know first hand how dedicated, experienced and effective he is. Everyone to whom I have referred Steve has been very pleased and grateful for his handling of their case and the outcome."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. We refer personal injury work to Mr. Kuhn because of the excellent results he achieves and the reports we receive from our clients of their high respect for him. We believe he has the highest moral and ethical standards and he enjoys that reputation in the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Steven is extremely knowledgeable and conscientious about doing a good job for his clients."
"I have known, and worked with, Steve for most of my more than 30 years of practice. I have always found Steve to be completely professional and well-versed in the law. I would expect his services as a mediator to be of the highest caliber."
"I have known Steve Kuhn for over 22 years. I was adverse to him on a personal injury case involving significant injuries to his client. I was impressed then (1988) and my opinion has not changed. Steve is an aggressive, hard working, articulate and knowledgeable attorney. He knows how to handle cases to obtain the maximum result for his clients. I have also worked with Steve and observed him in trial. He is quite skilled and is always well prepared. I understand that he has been ranked as one of Orange County's top 5 Personal Injury Attorneys, which comes as no surprise to me. Steve is also well regarded as a Mediator. His ability to interact with people (on either side of the case) makes him stand out among his peers. He is reasonable and has always worked to resolve cases in a highly professional manner, either as an advocate or neutral Mediator. I would not hesitate to recommend Steve."
"I endorse this lawyer's work.Steve Kuhn is honest, aggressive and dedicated to his clients."

When it comes to serving as a mediator, Steve does everything he can to get the case settled. I highly recommend this lawyer for legal counsel, representation or for use as an experienced mediator!"
"I have had the pleasure of knowing Steve for over 4 years. He is a very good attorney who I have referred many cases to. The reasons for the referrals are simple: he knows what he is doing, provides excellent customer service, is well respected in the community and he gets the job done. I will continue referring work to Steve because I know the clients will be happy. "
"Mr. Kuhn delivers the highest level of professionalism and skill to his clients."
