All positive Kudos for this mans ability and honesty

Steve, along with his wife as Para legal assistant are really a boon to this community in the quality offered in their service of family law. I found Steve to be a man of uncommon integrity, dealing the with issues openly and really able to listen to my needs in a very sticky divorce situation and ...to communicate his thoughts clearly both pro and con on how to approach each issue involved. He is a very competent negotiator with extremely quick math ability to adjust and counter offer as needed. His focus has always been to try to attain the goals of this client, and yet to be very open and realistic when it comes to giving feed back on the possibilities. I would definitely recommend him. He has proven to me that there are indeed a few attorneys that will try to resolve issues, rather than drag it out as you reach for you wallet.

Criminal defense lawyer | Sep 17

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Steve was the Prosecutor and I was the public defender for 1.5 years. We were on opposing sides on many, many cases, and several trials. He was a formidable opponent, and I can say there were times when he was downright brilliant! Now that he has gone into private practice, I expect he will be as good of a criminal defense attorney as he was a prosecutor."

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.
