Review Stephen Hamer

Thank You Stephen Hamer!

I came to Stephen Hamer when I needed legal advice, and he was extremely helpful. I was especially impressed with his honesty when he assured me that I did not need to hire a lawyer. Stephen was able to calm my nerves, and in the end he proved to be right about everything.

Excellent Attorney

Resolved several matter for me. Knows his stuff. Kept me informed. Incredibly honest (didn't bill me for time he was learning something new, told me about a way to solve a problem without his help). Recommend him absolutely without qualification.

Great Lawyer
