Stephen Anthony Sommers

Identified with my case in 2011 and tied it well with 3 other related cases; Met and listened to many concerns, circumstances and reviewed hundreds of emails, documents ... Played realistic and aggressive at settlement; Needs to get even more personal with clients and spend time outside the office... ... Needs to improve professionalism and client communication/responsiveness.

Words fall short of expressing my feelings and gratitude towards Steve Sommers. I was forced to find an attorney when I suddenly found myself being sued by a former business associate, I interviewed over five attorneys, all of whom, told me to accept what was being offered, to count my losses a...nd walk away. I cannot begin to tell you how stressful this was..... Until, enter Steve Sommers... Steve took a look at the facts of my case, expressed his confidence in it, (or perhaps his abilities) and put his nose to the grindstone. He researched areas where he hadn't previously delved, and came up with a phenomenal strategy! We ended up settling out of court and for more time and money that I ever expected to see. Without Steve's intelligence, creative angles, and confidence, I would have been in debt for years to come, and would have had to close down my business. Now, with Steve as part of my team, I feel more secure in the small business world, knowing I have a smart, sharp, yet incredibly kind human being protecting me.

After being targeted for dismissal unjustly by my employer I paid a visit to Steve to discuss my options. Steve spent hours with me uncovering all of the facts. It turned out that my employer had broken several California Employment laws; laws I didn’t know existed. It wasn’t easy to put together t...he case, we had to compile a lot of information and it was mind-numbing work. Throughout the process Steve gave me his full attention. My employer tried to paint of picture of me that was untrue. It was unsettling how they slandered me, but Steve kept me sane, told me I was right, they were wrong and stooped this low because they knew they were going to loose. He stayed in constant contact with me during the whole ordeal. His advice and approach was so spot on that we won the case hands down. I not only got a fair and just settlement, but also came out feeling good that these jerks got taught a good lesson. The best part was I could finally sleep soundly when it was over. I would recommend Steve and his associates any time if you are considering legal action against someone who has treated you unfairly.

He doesn't back down from a fight. He is cool and calm and understands the big picture of litigation- not all lawyers do. At the time, I needed services I had been 'dumped' by other attorneys who felt my case wasn't strong, or it had allready been mishandled, or my oppositions lawyer was too powerf...ul, or misintreputered the law all together and felt I had no case. Mr. Sommer was compassionate and gave me a voice finally. When I cashed that settlement check at the bank, it was pure joy watching the teller's eyes in disbelief at the money I was depositing. This Lawyer will win; he's a true champion.
