EXPERIENCE
Steven is a trial attorney. With over seven years of substantive litigation experience, he has handled cases in various practice areas, including personal injury, general negligence, labor and employment, commercial litigation, insurance defense/coverage, general liability, eminent domain, state and federal workers' compensation, products liability, admiralty, estate/probate, family matters, and criminal defense.

Since 2019, Steven has been selected as a Rising Star by Super Lawyers. The selection process for the Rising Stars list is the same as the Super Lawyers selection process, with one exception: to be eligible for inclusion in Rising Stars, a candidate must be either 40 years old or younger or in practice for 10 years or less. All attorneys first go through the Super Lawyers selection process. Those who are not selected to the Super Lawyers list, but who meet either one of the Rising Stars eligibility requirements, go through the Rising Stars selection process. While up to five percent of the lawyers in the state are named to Super Lawyers, no more than 2.5 percent are named to the Rising Stars list.
