Run while you can

Mr. Pell had a case he was doing for me . I never once got a call about my cases nor dates that I would of missed if I didn't go to the court and see what was going on. His office was dirty. Kids running around the office. He was always to busy to talk. Never got a invoice on a monthly cycle . He t...akes your money and no work is done.

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.

Awesome Lawyer

Mr. Pell is highly intelligent and knows his area of practice. I felt comfortable with him. You can tell he is determined to win your case. I feel he will come through for you no matter what even if he has to do an appeal.

Bullied and Won

My son was injured at school by bullies. One boy crouched behind him and the other boy stood in front, shoving him over backwards and breaking his arm. The school district would not identify the boys. After a thorough consultation, Steve hired a private investigator who identified the boys, result...ing in a lawsuit against their parents. Due to Steve's efforts, we recovered a substantial settlement for my son's injuries. Thank you, Steve!

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.
