Responsive and Knowledgeable

I connected with Stephen to set up my corporation and write a Purchase Agreement to buy a business. Stephen was very responsive, he really listened to what I wanted, and delivered exactly on what I'd asked for and expected. He was so easy to work with and shared my value in efficiency and effectivene...ss! I appreciate Stephen's innovation and approach to making legal services more accessible to people from all walks of life.

Stephen Stern and Mobile Law offices your clear choice in representation

Stephen Stern and his paralegal Rebecca were more than just representing me.I wasn't just another client, but an individual they gave compatriot assistance through a process that can seem daunting. They walked me through the process answering all my questions and providing guidance and thoughtful ass...istance at any turn. There are a lot of Attorneys in this aria, but if you are looking to be treated as anm individual rather then just another pay day this should be your choice. Furthermore because is operation is mobile it reduces he overhead which accounts for a direct savings to you. I would also like to mention that meeting at local coffee shops was a much better experience than a stuffy office, and you got to see the killer airstream that can also be used as an office, to whit imagine him parked on the cliffs of of Port San Luis Beach and listening to the sound of waves and birds well being treated with respect, rather then a stuffy waiting room, and the drowning sounds of telephones and the mumbling of voices.

Appeal of city ordinance

Stephen was very diligent in obtaining information and expert advice to help us protest the city of Morro Bay wanting us to cut down our 80-year-old hedge. I was impressed by the thoroughness of his research.

  • 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.
