Since most of these reviews are from accounts who don't have many other reviews, I thought it…read moreimportant to give my experience with this attorney. He was afraid to go up against apposing counsel, though he called this other attorney a slew of names he clearly didn't have the experience to fight my case rather resorted to name calling, needless to say I had to get another attorney to do the job. I don't think calling another attorney names is going to make clients feel safe in your care when they are already going through a stressful time in their life - they want you to tell them how to win legally not act like a child. Maybe he is just that way with woman as many clients seem to like him perhaps it was just my poor experience with him? I would say save money and go with an attorney who can give you a clear outline of strategy instead slinging vitriol and getting no place.

Approximately two years ago, I began attorney shopping after I was told by my now ex-wife, that she…read morewanted a divorce. I was betrayed, and trying to navigate through something that I have never experienced before. I did not want an attorney who would "throw wood into the fire," heighten my emotions, make me overthink things, or entice me to take unnecessary actions out of anger or emotion. I had two meetings lined up, one being with Steve. I felt that Steve fit my personality very well, and we have since developed a solid relationship and understanding that goes beyond business. Steve was a calming presence, completely fair, honest, and accountable throughout the duration of the divorce process. Also, Steve has a sense of humor that I greatly appreciate. On top of that, Steve is a great writer, very thorough with his work, and a very clear communicator. Last but not least, Karen and Val are extremely pleasant to work with; always there to help and assist. If you want an attorney with straightforward integrity, conscientious with your money, and gives extremely honest viewpoints based on his 30 plus years of experience, Steve is the attorney for you. Thank you for all the guidance and assistance, Steve. It will never be forgotten.

Is a calming, knowledgeable, family attorney who makes it seem effortless( although I know it's not). No one wants to NEED an attorney, but when you do you need to make sure you have the one that's going to smoothly handle opposing counsel, relations with the courthouse, and have the intelligence to read their clients pretty quickly and take the appropriate approach. For me, he made me feel comfortable in 20 minutes when I had been uncomfortable with a former attorney for months. He's responsive, intelligent, and extremely reliable. I'd recommend him to anyone. He's an asset to the judicial system in NJ and will not waste your time or money. I honestly cannot say enough positive about him, and I have never much been a fan of lawyers. He made believe there are some people out there that are still doing what's right.
