"Steven and I had a domestic violence case with parties who had young children. Steven was fantastic to work with. He is well versed in the law. He is prompt in his communication. He zealously represented his client while also working collaboratively with me to ensure a fair, global settlement for his client that saved months in litigation and thousands in attorney fees. I endorse this lawyer."
