Saved our family

If he didn't work on our case, my brother would be in prison. He worked night and day. He personally came in on the weekends and we worked on the case together.

Best Lawyer in Ventura County

Steve is a great attorney! He tries his cases in the courtroom, not in the media. He is extremely knowledgeable and supportive. His staff is top notch as well. We've retained him for three different cases over the past 20 years and we were successful in each. I could not recommend him higher!

Best attorney in Ventura!

Steve has to be the most intelligent, dedicated person I have known in my lifetime. That he has decided to apply these traits to the practice of law in Ventura County is a plus for anyone needing good legal representation. I had the good fortune to have met a few of his former clients before engagi...ng Steve for the first time. Their regard for him and his firm was off the charts! What struck me the most was that they each described how they were immediately put at ease when they met him and then in following court appearances and proceedings his confidence and professionalism were assuring. The fact that he won their cases was almost secondary. My experience with Steve was just as I had been led to expect. He has that reassuring quality that only comes from experience and dedication. Your case is important to him and that is how he treats it. For most of us, the law and the courtroom environment is very intimidating. Steve understands this and puts you at ease immediately. With him on your side, you know the best possible lawyer is in your corner. You can't help but feel more at ease. I am happy to say that he won my case, but it was his professionalism and commitment that won me over. I knew where we stood at all times and if I had a question either he or his staff promptly responded with the answer. I have and will continue to refer anyone needing legal assistance to Steve Pell.

Best attorney

Mr. Pell became my attorney 7 years ago when my husband died in an accident he was compassionate and knowledgeable. This was a difficult time for me and he took care of all the legal issues. I was very satisfied with the results. Since then I have had the need for an attorney for business matters and... again I was very satisfied I would recommend him to family and friends.

Posted by anonymous | April 06, 2015 | Divorce & Separation

Steve Pell and Dionna Pell came off with a Grand Slam for me.

Situation: Age 66; Married 20+ years; Retired and called back to work twice for two one year terms; 1 of 3 children still at home Wife filed for separation the third time, but I was prepared. With Steve and Dionna Pell, 2 1/2 years later, and 2 weeks after my third retirement, we went to trial. Mr.... Pell came away with my owning all three properties outright, and no spousal support, and the one remaining child still at home, had now passed 18 and was no longer eligible for child support. The result has actually freed me up to bring what remains of the family together, so we can go on building true family relationships with as much as we can with the true family that remains. Meanwhile, the imprudent drain on family resources has been stopped and the full set of assets are being protected from further erosion. My deepest thanks to God first, and Steve and Dionna Pell next. Together they effected a total, clean result that has left me sleeping well. Thank you Steve and Dionna.

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.
