Real Estate - Earnest Money Agreement

Steve was recommended to us from a family real estate professional in the Spokane area. We found Steve to be efficient and highly effective in resolving our issue while cognizant of the economics involved. Our matter settled out of court with full receipt of our expected recovery in just a matter o...f a few weeks. We would highly recommend Steve to anyone seeking sound legal and financially reasonable advice.

I refer Steve to clients frequently!

I am a financial advisor and my clients regularly request the services of a qualified attorney for estate planning and business planning needs. I have referred Steve many times to clients and he has been a real help to those he serves. I referred a tricky real estate transaction to Steve recently ...and he took the time and had the expertise the respond quickly to the project with a successful outcome. if it were not for his help and excellent advice my clients may not have had a successful outcome! I will continue to refer clients to Steve and appreciate his dedication to his practice.

Honest, Knowledgeable and Professional - Excellent Attorney

My family and I moved to Spokane last year to start a new life and a new business. We needed a lawyer that could handle many issues associated with our new circumstances, from: setting up our first business, handling estate planing issues and helping us navigate through a very unique and complex tax ...issue. Steve Anderson was the right choice. He took care of everything, while ensuring our goals were met and our questions were all answered along the way. I strongly recommend Steve Anderson if you need honest, knowledgeable, and professional legal counsel.

Knowledgeable and Professional Attorney

I have known Steven Anderson on a professional level for many years. He has assisted me on numerous projects in regards to business and corporate counseling as well as general taxation for my business. He has always provided me with top quality legal advice and guidance, and has saved me a great deal... of stress and money. I believe he truly enjoys what he does and it shows in the quality of his work. Since working with him he has been a reliable, professional, and knowledgeable. I would recommend him as an attorney to anyone seeking legal advice in his field.

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.
