Knowledgeable, compassionate & personable

Steven recently gave me advice on how to handle a tricky divorce filing. I had attempted to do it on my own and had hit a wall both with the courts and my own perseverance! Steven was very knowledgeable and was quick to research the bits of information he didn't have readily available. Not only did ...he put my mind at ease regarding the paper work, he also helped me understand the best way to approach the clerks at the courthouse. A few days after our 30 minute consultation I called him with a few questions and he was just as attentive and helpful even though he wasn't being paid for his time. If I ever need a lawyer again, I will reach out to Steven first. I truly felt as though he had my best intentions in mind.

Two Thumbs Way Up!

Mr. Dinneen represented me in family court for a child custody matter regarding my daughter. I wish I could share the complete story on here as to what we had to go through, but I will save that for another time. All that I can say is Mr. Dinneen did an exceptional job and truly cares about the peopl...e that he represents. I have never met an attorney that would go the extra mile to help someone. I highly recommend Mr. Dinneen and would use him again.

Excellent Family Law Attorney

Steven represented me for my entire divorce case. He not only knows the law (even the intricacies of our local family law court), but he also is well known by the local judges and attorneys who respect him. He is good at presenting the case in front of the judge and can also negotiate settlements whe...re possible. His fees are also quite affordable and were considerably less than the opposing counsel in my case.

Great Attorney

I was frustrated since most attorneys I spoke with seemed more interested in talking about their fees. However, when I met Steven, he listened to me patiently while I was explaining the details of my child custody case and read all the documents I handed to him. I noticed from my experience with Stev...en that he cares about his clients and works hard to help them win their case. Steven’s fees were very reasonable, and I ended up having a joint legal and physical custody of my children. I highly recommend him to people who are looking for a knowledgable and trust-worthy attorney.

The Most Amazing Lawyer in the Bay Area

Steven has been the best lawyer I have come across in the entire Bay Area and he has been an Angel in disguise for my daughter. I met Steven on the eve of a Custody Trial when no Lawyer was willing to take my case - he was so courteous and a true gentleman in my hour of need. He has worked very hard ...on my Child Custody Case - not 100% I would say more like 200%. In Court he is very knowledgeable and calm yet he is able to convey to the Judge our point with atmost grace. He has an amazing presence of mind and works very hard for his client. At no point in my last two months of hiring Steven have I ever felt my trust in him lessen infact it has only grown stronger. And while dealing with lawyers that is a very important factor as your lawyer is representing YOU in Court. I am extremely happy with Steven and he is the most hardworking, honest, ethical and dedicated lawyer I have met. He is always pleasant and calm no matter what hurdles come your way and he has always found solutions to them. I have had a very long time in this Court System of over two and a half years and associated with a number of attorneys due to the opposing party never in agreement or always finding unethical ways to get what they want. So, Steven being there for me and my daughter in this Custody Trial has been simply amazing. We are very thankful to him in more ways than anyone can imagine. He is a true gentleman and an awesome lawyer.
