Stephen C Palmer

Mr. Palmer is an amazing attorney, a true professional. His communication skills and style are very direct and plain language which makes it easy and efficient to do business with him. He provides great results and solves issues quickly. He was encouraging with his advice while still being respectful... of my wishes. He and his team did and Excellent job. I absolutely recommend his legal services. THANK YOU SO MUCH STEVE AND TEAM!!

I retained Newberg Law's, Stephen Palmer, to prepare and file a motion, an order, and supporting documents. Due to his negligence, the motion was never filed. When opposing counsel made me aware of my attorney’s error and I confronted Mr. Palmer regarding his failure to complete the task, he offe...red numerous and varied explanations finally blaming it on a “paralegal error.” When I asked that he remove the charges related to this admitted error, he refused. Additionally, I was billed attorney time for a settlement conference for which Mr. Palmer failed to prepare, to which Mr. Palmer arrived unprepared, which Mr. Palmer attended without properly or professionally representing my interests and providing guidance, and which concluded with unsatisfactory results due to Mr. Palmer's poor performance. I have not yet disputed several thousands of dollars which I had paid Mr. Palmer previous to learning of his negligent business practices. I continue, however, to dispute the charges associated with the most extreme negligence on his part, which only became apparent as our professional relationship developed, and after I gained the fortunate perspective of receiving alternative, competent representation. To this day Mr. Palmer continues his refusal to credit my account for any of these disputed charges. Sadly, since that time I have learned of multiple former clients of Mr. Palmer who were similarly mistreated, e.g. Mr. Palmer billed for work that is not performed, did not prepare, and yet continued to bill his clients. Each of those individuals needed to hire subsequent counsel in order for their cases to be resolved, after the resignation or termination of Mr. Palmer. Because of this, I feel obligated by principles to, at the very least, make others aware of Newberg Law's unscrupulous business practices in hopes that these words of warning may prevent the chronic ethical deficit of Stephen Palmer from further injuring more unsuspecting individuals.

After listening to several horror stories of friends that had to deal with not only the death of a loved one but also trying to navigate through the probate process, I decided to have a Living Trust made. Steve made this extremely easy for me - I'm still confused by the process but he walked me thro...ugh it step by step and gave me such great direction that it didn't seem at all difficult. I know it will be so much less stressful for my children when I'm gone - which I don't plan on any time soon! Thank you, Steve!

I hired Steve in 2010 to help modify a Child Custody Modification. As in most divorce/custody situations mine had it frustrations and struggles. While I may have not always liked the advice, I found Steve to be knowledgeable and able to help me remove emotion from the situation. While I was content w...ith my representation in hasn't been until recently that I have greatly appreciated Steve's work. Five years into the modification, my ex has become more difficult and I find myself looking at my paper work quite often. It is such a relief to have very specific and well defined paperwork. So far for every situation that has come up there is a specific response on my end that includes pointing to the paperwork. There is no question what it says or may mean. I also have a larger appreciation for Steve's work as he included things that may come up down the road. Specific example for me is Orthodontics. As we face my oldest needing them there are clear and defined statements to how these cost are to be split and dealt with between the two parties. For this forethought I am forever grateful!! While I never thought I would face divorce and child custody, I am greatly appreciative of the time and work Steve put in and there is no question that I will use his services again.
