Great help with estate planning

Steve did a great job of helping us with our estate planning. He gave us options and explained how each one would fit our situation. Once we decided how we wanted our estate set up, he was quick to follow up and get things in place. ...

A true humanitarian among attorneys.

Before entering elderly law. Steven was instrumental in supporting and guiding me in my discrimination suite against my employer. I have a disease called Meniere's disease, which causes cases of uncontrolled vertigo. I was hired by a rather large multi-billion dollar company to work as a B operator in one of their extrusion departments. They were well aware of my condition upon hiring me. In this department there are two types of operators. A and B. A operators were responsible for putting up the machines. They were responsible for fixing or making changes. They were also required to climb the high towers that fed the lines with the product. B operators were responsible for production, product inspection and wrapping. And they remained on the floor. After several years in their service. They decided that I could no longer perform my duties as required. Even though my responsibilities of a B operator did not include me climbing the towers. They also refused to make accommodations for me. They then decided to move me to another department and force me to take a pay cut. I knew what they were doing was illegal and against the Lilly act and advised them so. They proceeded to tell me they were in their legal rights and there was nothing I could do about it. I started looking for an attorney to help with my problem. One lawyer even told me "I should be thankful I even have a job!" Feeling defeated and about to give up hope. Steven answered my ad, and informed me that I was within my rights to seek legal aid in this situation. He walked me through the procedures step-by-step. And was always available to answer any questions, or to advise me on handling the ongoing difficulties with my employer. And knowing my financial situation, was willing to work with me on that as well. I won my case with him right there by my side supporting me to the very end! I cannot say enough about Steven. He is truly a wonderful attorney, and I have already recommended him to several people, and will continue to do so.

Great experience.

I hired Steve do defend a consumer credit matter that was dubious from the start.
