highly recommended

Had to rush to get moms estate in order before death. Steven dropped everything that day and by afternoon he had all legal documents prepared. He and Karen then met with mom and I next day at care center to finalize all paperwork and then helped me file all legal papers. Steven is a trustworthy hard ...working attorney and I highly recommend him for your estate planning.

Very Pleased!!!

I first contacted Stephen via email for some preliminary advice for Spousal Support Modification, which he was very prompt to reply with direct advice so when I scheduled a meeting with him I would have all the information needed. Steve and I met just once and he gathered my information, drew up the ...paper work, filed it with the court, and it was signed by the judge in less than two weeks. Steve is a pleasure to work with and very prompt and professional!!! Thank you Steve!!!!

Excellent Attorney

I retained Steve as my divorce lawyer, as he was recommended to me by a friend. I have nothing but great things to say about Steve and his Paralegal. Steve knows exactly what he is doing and does not miss any details concerning alimony, property division, retirement funds etc.. Steve consistently enc...ouraged me and gave me his best advice during my entire divorce process. Steve and his team were always quick to respond to my many questions and handled my divorce with professionalism and care. I greatly appreciate all of their hard work and looking out for my best interests from start to finish. I would highly recommend Steve and his team to anyone.

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.
