Top 5 reasons our firm might be a good match for you:
1. You don’t want a law firm that charges you to make copies, or charges you for staples, postage fees, or paper clips. This is just silly and we won’t do it.
2. You don’t want a long-winded lawyer that pontificates on and on, never really explaining anything to you, and then sending you a bill for the all the time. Lawyers must be concise, honest, straight-forward and to the point. That’s what we do.
3. You do not want to hire a law firm and then have three lawyers working on your case, each billing time (“triple billing” or “double billing” by a partner and associate). This wastes your money and is honestly a slap in your face.
4. You want a firm that solves problems and not creates them. We fight for you, we are in your corner, and we want to get your legal issues resolved as bad as you do, (hire us so we can handle the problem and let you focus on your work and what you do best).
5. You have serious legal issues that need to be resolved, in the shortest amount of time possible, and at a fair and honest price.

Steve is one of the leading attorneys in the field of copy write and consumer protection. He is as up to date on the newest changes in this exciting area of law, as anyone. Take a moment to watch his videos and articles he writes and you'll soon realize, if you need representation - Steve is the one to call!
I have known Steve for many years as a fellow lawyer and have referred several matters to him. Steve is an extremely knowledgeable and capable attorney, but a couple of attributes stand out: (1) he truly cares about his clients and goes the extra mile to assist them, and (2) he is very responsive, which is a feat in and of itself given his busy caseload. One of the first matters I referred to Steve stands out in my mind. This client had an urgent matter with only a couple of days to obtain some sort of resolution. Steve jumped in to help and worked with her outside of his normal working hours to ensure that she received the assistance she needed. Steve is personable, responsive and skilled, and he goes the extra mile for his clients. I highly recommend him.

One of the many excellent answers of Mr. Vondran particularly caught my attention. It was customized to the needs of the Avvo asker, while bringing a depth of analysis that was of value even to lawyers practicing in the field. These are the qualities that every client should look for when hiring an attorney.
Boris Kayhan, Foreclosure Attorney on Apr 7, 2015

Mr. Vondran is the real deal. He is type of attorney we all strive to be like. He knows his stuff and gives back so much to the community by way of videos and publications.

Steve is the kind of Attorney who puts his clients first always and his track record shows that he achieves great results. As a fellow Attorney here in Arizona, I endorse Steve's experience, skills and compassion without hesitation. I highly recommend and endorse this lawyer.

Steve genuinely cares about his clients. I've seen him take what looks like an impossible case and make a real difference for his client. I would recommend Steve without hesitation!

Steve Vondran is an outstanding Real Estate and Intellectual Property Attorney. He is licensed to practice law in California and Arizona and comes high recommended by me. I would refer my clients to no one other than Steve.

I had the opportunity to work with Steve on a rather complex unlawful detainer proceeding. Steve handled himself with the utmost professionalism and always with the client's best interest in mind. Based on this experience, I endorse Steve.

Steve is a leader in the real estate law community, particularly in foreclosure defense matters. I have referred MANY clients to Steve and Steve has been able to resolve their matters to the clients' satisfaction. When friends or family come to me for real estate advice, Steve is the first person I turn to.
Brian Kinder, Real estate Attorney on May 10, 2012

Having worked with Steve Vondran since we were both in law school, I can honestly say that you will not find a more professional, knowledgeable or ethical real estate attorney. For clients seeking a real estate attorney, you cannot go wrong with Steve Vondran. For attorneys with clients in need of assistance on real estate matters, Steve Vondran will make you look like a star for referring him. Great guy and great lawyer.
