Super Helpful

Steven helped me navigate quite a few stressful situations in a calm and professional manner. I recommend him highly.

Excellent job completing our guardianship

We have become the legal guardians of a young relative in need of a home thanks to Steven's excellent work. It was a bit complicated with several parties having to agree. Steven listened to us carefully, communicated with all parties and submitted the paperwork to the court. Even in this age of Co...vid the guardianship was completed in a reasonable time. We are continuing our relation with Steven and will have him develop a new will for us now that we have a minor child in our care. We are certain he will do an excellent job there also.

Avoid at all cost

He failed to do a disposition and did not prep me for court when I had no experience at all being in that situation. He said he did high conflict divorce/custody battles, but turns out he barely had any experience and was a deer in the headlights during court and failed to even cross examine my ex w...ithout my help. He didnt bother to meet in person except for once when meeting for first time. He was misinformed about the law also and advised me incorrectly in turn. There were a lot of incompetence on his part and negligence. He also has a reputation I find out after finding my new lawyer that he is lazy and doesnt do any work. I see it. Find someone else.

Fast and friendly

He was very on top of all aspects of what I needed for myself and child in my divorce. He worked quickly to get it resolved in a timely manner and always had my best interest in mind.

Child custody

Steve had very little time to prepare, thankfully I had all my ducks in a row and just needed some support and guidance along the way. And that is exactly what he did for me. He was very helpful and answered all my questions along the way. I did win my custody case. I am very thankful for his help. A...nd would consider his representation on the future if needed.

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.
