Posted by anonymous | May 5, 2016 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellence, Integrity, Honesty, Character

I was impressed with Mr. Perbix from the point of our very first meeting. He was extremely thorough, explaining all aspects of my potential Worker's Compensation case. He indicated a strength of character, and high level of integrity during the interview process, and once hired, demonstrated those ...very traits throughout the successful resolution of my case. He kept me informed throughout the process, and was extremely timely with communication. He possesses the virtues one would expect of an attorney, or any professional for that matter, but are difficult to find. I would highly recommend Mr. Perbix as THE choice for legal representation.

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Perbix went above and beyond to help with my case. He assured me quality work was being done to obtain what was needed on my worker compensation case. He listened to my needs and understood them yet, he had the skills to make me understand the laws and what I could expect to be done. He worked ...diligently to ensure that my medical needs were covered and my claim was resolved. In the end he encouraged me through my education to set forth a new career. While I used him for workers compensation, I am certain his he is just as excellent in his other fields of law.

I would trust Steve with any legal matter.

Steve Perbix has demonstrated to me that he will go the extra mile to ensure my legal needs are met. He takes care of my personal legal needs as well as my family and extended family. Personally I have worked with Steve on the board of directors of a local organization and have seen first hand how pr...ofessional and trustworthy he is. I highly recommend Steve Perbix Law Office for all of your legal needs. You need someone you can trust and that is Steve Perbix.
