BEST ATTORNEY EVER

I got a court appointed attorney 3 times for a case I was dealing with and all were amazing. Steven Otero was one of these attorneys and they all worked together great while Steven Otero studied my case and came up with the best advice and solution for my case in the most professional and timely mann...er I could hope for, WHILE dealing with a multitude of other cases. I am so grateful for someone like Steven who stopped to do research from evidence provided to make a solid possibility and outcome of my case that others would have overlooked or ignored THANK YOU STEVEN!!!!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
