I have known Steve for may years and he has consistently been diligent, well prepared and a strong advocate for his clients. At the same time he also has a keen sense of how a litigation matter is going and when to make the best choices for his clients to achieve their goals. As a fellow attorney Steve never lets the case or his clients interefere with his professionalism – a rare quality indeed.

I’ve worked with Stephen and his firm on a couple of occasions over the years and have always found them to be top notch attorneys. Even though our firms are competitors as small firms with sophisticated business litigation practices, I have no problem endorsing Stephen and his firm as one of the few such outfits in the area with which tough cases can be entrusted.

– Curtis Burk

Steve is an incredibly sharp attorney with extensive litigation experience.  Steve is consistently able to process complex issues and distill them into a more readily intelligible form, which is invaluable in communications with not only clients, but judges and juries as well. Additionally, Steve is able to utilize his intricate familiarity with the rules of procedure, both in NC courts and in federal courts, to advance his clients’ interests in ways that other attorneys might not have considered.

Importantly, Steve cares about those he represents, and this caring makes him a fierce advocate for his clients’ interests. Notably, however, despite his ability to identify with clients, Steve is able to remain objective in his legal analyses. This same objectivity also makes him an excellent, and fair, mediator.
