What our clients say

really appreciate all the hard work

Stephen and his team helped my parents settle their divorce ammicably after 20 years of separation! I am glad I didn’t have to mediate or take sides – really appreciate all the hard work that was put into my family’s situation and that we can all put it behind us.

THIS CHANGED MY LIFE

I contacted Stephen some time ago with a problem I was having with my business. My landlord wanted to buy me out of my lease. Business was pretty bad anyway so I was almost willing to take a very small amount that he offered $68,000 (all numbers expressed here are in current value dollar amounts). Stephen told me to leave it in his hands and see what he could do. Little by little he negotiated with the landlord, bringing him up first to $360,000, then to $540,000, then to finally about $810,000! I was shocked that this was the result. But he clearly must know what he’s doing. This changed my life for the better and gave me another chance. I’m very thankful. Read more
