Brain Injury 10%

To represent brain injured clients requires special knowledge. I've attended brain injury association lectures and conferences for over 15 years, all in an effort to represent brain injured clients in the best way possible.

Motorcycle Accident 10%

Injuries from motorcycle crashes are often severe. Establishing economic and non-economic damages may require the use of life care planners, bio-mechanical engineers, economists, and accident reconstructionists. Over the years, I have established working relationships with these many experts.

Trucking Accident 10%

Commercial trucks can cause serious high collisions and cause serious personal injury or death because they are so big. Representing clients in this area requires familiarity with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.

Steve was recommended to me by a co-worker after my car accident. We were at a stand still with the other drivers insurance and Steve took over handling the case in a very professional manner and kept us updated thru the whole process. What started out as a very stressful situation became almost pl...easant while he handled everything for us. I have recommended him to others since our case.

"I endorse this lawyer's work. I first met Steven back before I was practicing law. He had a tough case and I watched him do a good job with it. In the years since then, I've consistently seen him work very, very hard for his clients. My personal theory is that his long-distance running has taught him never to give up."

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.
