Bay Area Client

It was a relief to have Steve work on my challenging case. His representation was professional working through this complex case with calm and insight and skillful negotiation thus bringing about a timely and amiable resolve avoiding a time consuming and costly legal matter. I was very happy and sati...sfied with the results.

A good lawyer and advocate!

Steve has been representing me on a trust matter and I have found him both knowledgeable and professional. His demeanor is relaxed and settling which, during this ordeal for me, was very helpful. I feel like I made the right choice in retaining him. He has garnered a resolution to two trust issues t...hat were difficult to deal with much to my satisfaction.

I highly recommend Steve Simrin's services

Steve was so helpful in assisting us with getting our living trust, wills and medical directives in place. These decisions are not easy nor something you want to think about, but Steve was immensely patient yet persistent in helping us get everything in place admist our busy schedules.

IRS Audit Appeal

When a legal issue seems insurmountable you have no time to test an attorney’s capabilities on the fly. You need someone who not only understands the law, but also has done this before. Steven M. Simrin is that person. Both knowledgeable and personable, he made addressing an IRS Audit Appeal issu...e less stressful, and more focused on resolution.
