Best Family Lawyer Ever

Stephen Olsen was recommended to me by another lawyer( Richard Ingram). From the start Stephen was there to help. He has helped me with child custody, child support and child abuse cases. At first I didn't have any custody of my twin daughters. In the very beginning I was awarded 50/50 visitations. ...After a little longer I was awarded 50/50 custody. Then after some unfortunate circumstances with a child abuse problem with there mother, with Stephens help I was awarded full custody of my twin daughters. After a year of dealing with family court, Stephen Olsen was there every step of the way keeping me informed about what to do next. My daughters are my pride and joy and I owe Stephen Olsen for helping me keep them safe and in a stable home. I would recommend him to anyone that needs help in family law. Thank You Stephen Your The Best.

Stephen R. Olsen excellent attorney

We hired Stephen Olsen to facilitate a collaborative legal separation and were very pleased with his services and the process. Stephen was efficient and no nonsense, and had our best interest at heart. Throughout our emotionally difficult process, Stephen was empathetic, patient and professional. ...I would highly recommend Stephen and the mediation process.

  • 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.
