An exceptional attorney

Steve is very effective at handling problematic situations in an efficient manner. He gives great advice and offers pragmatic solutions. We contacted him to resolve a very messy real estate transaction. After Steve gave us a clear understanding of the situation, he explained our options and then r...esolved the matter to our satisfaction. I highly recommend him.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Steve and I worked together representing different defendants in numerous personal injury (product liability/toxic tort) litigation matters. Steve is very knowledgeable about the entire litigation process on both the state and federal levels and is very skilled at taking and defending depositions and representing his clients' interests at Court hearings and trial. Steve has an excellent mind for strategy and legal analsyis with a practical mind for cost-efffectiveness. I would highly recommend working with him on any litigation matter if given the opportunity."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
