Excellent estate lawyer
We hired estate attorney Stephen Stern to create my mother’s trust and had a very positive experience. Amazingly the process was finished 8 days after our initial consultation. He is comprehensive and thorough. Also, his paralegal is excellent. Highly recommend this law firm for estate planning.

Bankruptcy
Stephen has been really great in guiding me through this financial decision. I was nervous at first and scared to go through it. He has made me feel more confident and capable of taking this important step in my life to obtain a second chance and a new start with my credit. I’m truly grateful I made this decision in the hands of Stephen. He is well knowledgeable and very understanding, listened well to all my needs and concerns, I would highly recommend.

Great small business lawyer!
Stephen has helped our small business navigate several significant challenges in the last decade. Most notably, he helped us secure multiple federal trademarks with the USPTO, helped us resolve trademark infringements from other companies, and helped us many times with various counsel. Would highly recommend!

Stephen's legal services are transparent, pleasant and attainable
I hired Stephen to help me file a trademark for my business and the experience has been so pleasant. Stephen guided and assisted me through the whole trademark process. Starting with the initial informative call about the process, approximate timeline, needed information as well as a quote for the project. Stephen has been very transparent, accesible and responsive during the process. He is very helpful and patiently explains the process and further steps. His setup (mobile law center van, email communication, one click online payment, etc.) makes it easy, pleasant and attainable for so many people who need legal assistance, I really appreciate that. I would definitely recommend Stephen!

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 assistance 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.

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 effectiveness! I appreciate Stephen's innovation and approach to making legal services more accessible to people from all walks of life.

Excellent communication. Stephen is my go-to for all my legal needs.
Stephen has negotiated several contracts for me over the years and responds to correspondence very quickly and efficiently. He takes the time to explain details and is adamant about making sure my absolute best interests are in mind during negotiations. Stephen often thinks of things that I don't, making it so that I'm able to get a better deal than I had originally anticipated! Stephen is thoughtful and caring, yet forward thinking, sharp and skillful. He my go-to for all of my legal needs and I highly recommend him!

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.

Honest, Organized, and Thorough
We hired Mr. Stern to handle a case for our daughter and he delivered on every level. It was important for me that my daughter was comfortable and he put her at ease immediately. Even though our case was not his specific focus, Mr. Stern ensured we did everything we needed to, that all the facts were accurately presented and our requests to the other party were thorough. The other party was extremely difficult to deal with as the company changed attorneys and dragged on the process for over 1.5 years. Mr. Stern stayed consistent, checking in regularly with us, and ensuring the other party also fulfilled their obligations. He went above and beyond what we expected and are happy to be done with it all. I trust Mr. Stern's legal advice and would not hesitate to contact him again.

I highly recommend Mr. Stern
Mr. Stern is one of the most reliable and detailed attorneys I have ever worked with. The work he had done for me was beyond my expectations. I had very specific deadlines that Mr. Stern took extra care to make sure they were all met, down to every detail.
I would highly recommend Mr. Stern and i would use him again if and when the time came.

evaluate Mr. Stern
I used Mr. Stern for my bankruptcy filing.
I could have used a little more client education; but all in all,
he did a good job at a reasonable price. I have recommended him to others.
