An effective advocate

I have known Steve for over 25 years and have been represented by him on a number of occasions over the years in complex, sensitive & politically charged issues that required a solid refined review of the law, development of strategy and implementation of same to reach a successful conclusion. Steve ...has always been responsive, 'right on the money' in both his legal opinions and strategy recommendations. I've appreciated knowing Steve and respect his opinion. His billings have always been more than fair. I would recommend Steve to any commercial real estate developer seeking legal representation from a practical lawyer with his own development experience, an objective eye and mindful of cost effective results.
