The best appearance attorney out there!

Mr. Gorman has been making special appearance for me for years; On multiple occasions even when I forgot to ask him to appear. He has saved my behind more than once and he does a perfect appearance every time. I couldn't recommend him more.

Always reliable, responsive, and professional!

Mr. Gorman is always available to appear when I need him! He is professional, courteous, and extremely reliable. On a personal level, he's a very nice and pleasant guy! I am always comfortable relying on him to cover appearances for me. In fact, my whole firm relies on Mr. Gorman all the time. We wou...ldn't be able to keep up without Mr. Gorman's help. He's always there when we need him.

Arthur Navarette, Esq.

I have known Steve Gorman for over 20 years and have used him for special appearances innumerable times over those 20+ years. Steve is not only one of the most pleasant attorneys you will ever meet, he is the consumate professional and always ready to help. He knows the intricacies of MSCs, TSCs, E...x Partes and Law and Motion for every civil department in Santa Clara County. He knows the rules of court exceptionally well and also knows the rules each particular judge has and the quirks of each, as well. He is fabulous at getting Ex Partes approved, arguing motions, and does an excellent job of explaining your position at MSCs, TSCs and all hearings. When you ask him to specially appear for you, he quickly responds by email or phone confirming he will do so. The same day as your hearing, after your hearing he provides you with an email with the result, AND what to do for the next hearing and what to look out for. On the occasions when I have forgotten to appear for a hearing, Steve has stepped in and informed the judge he needed to call me, and has called and/or emailed my office asking if I wanted him to make a special appearance for me. He has saved me several times. Steve looks out for you and truly has your back! I can not say enough good things about Steve and the very reasonably priced services he offers, other than to add that I don't know what I would do without him. Like all of us busy attorneys, I can not be two places at once and Steve ALWAYS rises to the occasion and fills in for me. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Steve Gorman as a special appearance attorney. If I could give him 10 stars instead of 5, I would. There is no other special appearance attorney in Santa Clara County who comes close to comparing to Steve! Arthur Navarette, Esq.

Very Professional & Detail Oriented

I am an attorney and my firm uses Stephen Gorman regularly for special appearances. He is very professional and has a great rapport with the judges. I've used him for ex parte's and almost all other hearing types. He is keeps on top of all the cases and has even notified me when my firm has accidenta...lly miss calendared a hearing. He is readily available by text, email, and phone and can appear on short notice. He is our go to person in my firm for special appearances. I highly recommend Stephen and he really does a great job.
