Wow, I'm not sure where to start. I would start by saying having Stevens and Legal represent me as my lawyer has been one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. Michael and Katherine worked hand in hand to assist me with my personal injury claim and even my malpractice claim. Beforehand, I hired a different attorney but unfornately that attorney did horrible work on my personal injury claim but Michael and Katherine turned that around for me. They were there for any questions I may have about my case and they never fail to inform me of any updates they've obtain. I really couldn't have asked for a better lawyer and that's why I recommend you hire Stevens and Legal for your legal matters. I promise you, you will not be disappointed in their work. This is an attorney you can fully trust with your legal matters and by far one of the best. 10/10.

I use that insider knowledge to my clients' advantage when handling personal injury and wrongful death cases.

Fast and REALLY smart
Had to sue a company for a pay issue. When doing research myself, I thought I could get a certain amount in small claims. Then I went on avvo to verify that I was right about a few details. Other attorneys said I was wrong, then Michael noticed it and we exchanged some emails and I went and met with him. I ended up getting about 10 times what I thought I would get in small claims court. Of course, various attorney fees needed to come out of that, but still MUCH more than I expected.
Soon after that started, I needed to do similar to another company. Michael assisted with that and Michael absolutely destroyed them just like he did the first.
If you need an attorney for any business matters, this is your guy.
There's one review that complained about his lack of communication but, guess what guys, he's a lawyer. He's busy. He's got other jobs besides you. That said, I never had an issue with him not replying to emails. I'm pretty sure the guy works 24/7 and doesn't sleep because something he'd email me in the middle of the night.
Don't waste your time with other attorneys. Start here.

Took time to listen
I called Mr. Stevens office for some counsel about a situation I was having at my workplace. Firstly, I was a bit nervous calling, it’s not every day I need to speak with a lawyer... but Kim,
who answered the phone, was very friendly and courteous and made me feel at ease. When talking to Mr. Stevens I felt like he really took time to listen to me and
thoroughly understand my situation. He was friendly, courteous and fully engaged in the conversation. Lots of Q&A
I felt he had my best interest in mind and gave me some great Insight. I am still deciding what to do but if I go forward I will definitely be hiring him as my lawyer. I feel complete confidence in his ability to represent my case. Thank you Michael and Kim for outstanding service!!!

I wouldn't want to sit across from him
Michael was great from start to finish! He is very knowledgeable, detailed, personable, and a straight shooter, which makes it easy to trust him. I felt like my case mattered and that he got to know me. At one point he said he had a 'smoking gun' and told me not to go looking because he knows that's exactly what I was going to do. During the deposition he was calm and held his demeanor while proving the defendant was lying multiple times, shocking even the defense attorney with things he had dug up. It was actually fun to watch. I trust him so much I've gone to him about other issues and he is my first and only recommendation for anyone that might need him in their corner.

Best Damn Paper/Trial Lawyer Ever
When it comes time to hire an attorney you will usually get either a paper attorney or a trial attorney. With Mr. Stevens you get the best of both worlds!...
I contacted Mr. Stevens about a case regarding my personal property in 2018. Mr. Stevens proved to be on his A game throughout the entire process. I was extremely pleased with the outcome of Mr. Stevens legal expertise in this matter.
I was so pleased with Mr. Stevens, I hired Mr. Stevens and his legal services for a business matter. The outcome of that case was better than I thought it could have been. IN my opinion he destroyed the defendant during the trial.

Outstanding help with Insurance Settlement
I have nothing but good things to say about Michael and the work he put in to get a settlement from a hit and run driver's insurance company. Although it took some time to get completed Michael was there for me throughout the entire process making sure deadlines were met and all documentation requests were fulfilled. I received all that I expected in the settlement and Michael went out of his way to make that happen. I highly recommend him and plan on continuing to use his services for any of my legal needs.

Excellent Attorney
I hired Michael Stevens to represent me on a wrongful termination case. I explained my situation and he listened to all my information in detail. He explained the best way to handle the case going forward and knew all the details of the labor laws. The case was settled before we went to trial, he handled everything perfectly. I had no issues and trusted he had my best interest at heart. He is very easy to talk to and understands all points of views and gave insight on which areas should be the focus after hearing all the information.

Great lawyer, diligent.
I contacted Michael after I quit my previous job at a car dealership because it seemed that they owed me money. Michael and I had a consultation and he immediately took the case. His confidence is assuring. The dealership tried to use everything in their arsenal to prove that they did not owe me money. I had my paperwork in order but what really topped everything off was Michael's vast knowledge. I highly recommend him to anyone who is owed money by their work place and especially by dealerships. Not only did I get money that was owed to me but also rewarded a settlement. In my experience he was very detail oriented and accurate. I have the utmost respect for this man. Good job Michael Stevens and thank you.

Michael helped my husband and I recover damages done to our home by a contractor we had hired. Michael was very thorough thru out the duration of our case. He made sure to keep us informed of all things relating to our case, even during waiting periods. I highly recommend Michael and if I am ever in need of an attorney in one of his areas of expertise will use him again.

Very helpful consult
I talked with Michael over an hour on the phone about all the different variables involved in my potential "personal injury" case. He was 100% transparent with me and based off what he told me, it didn't make the most sense for me to hire an attorney. That's honestly right there, I trust Michael. When and if I am in a situation where I definitely need to hire an attorney in the future, I will keep Michael in mind.
