I have used Ken for a number of matters and without fail, things moved smoothly and easily. I was satisfied enough that I have referred several friends to use Ken's services and I have had nothing but rave reviews back from them. Having someone with the quality and integrity that Ken has makes you look good when you recommend his council.

This is an excellent law firm. There are two lawyers at Stim & Warmuth, and both are extremely well-qualified, hard-working, and honest. My experience with them over many years is that their rates are very fair and they will work overtime to make sure everything they do for their clients is done correctly and professionally. They are not only good lawyers, they are also good people who are well-respected by their peers and are actively involved in volunteer service within the community. You can not find a better law firm or better lawyers. I have been completely satisfied with all the work they have done for me and I recommend them wholeheartedly.

No, I would definitely not recommend this lawyer, despite that he does charge a reasonable retainer fee, but you get what you pay for.
His is not an aggressive lawyer, very passive and laid back with his methods. In court, would not speak on my behalf or present my evidence. When I would make suggestion, he would shoot them down. He did not go all out for me as a "client". I had to fire him due to his negligence, carelessness, unresponsive and luckily I did.

I went through a divorce. Other lawyers wanted huge retainers up front and hourly fees that would have destroyed me. Mr. Caner worked with me on my fees and didn't stick a bill in my face every time I saw him. Besides getting me through the divorce, he helped me to see the bigger picture. He was extremely helpful and I do not hesitate to call him if I have a quick question. He does not bill you for every little question or phone call or fax.

This review is for one singular bad experience with one singular public safety officer. At roughly 10 PM Tuesday 7/30/24 driving northbound on William floyd parkway in Shirley there was a vehicle behind me tailgating me. He was approximately 10 feet off my back bumper. I was traveling in the right lane taking off from a green light, driving within the speed limit, with no one in the left lane for at least 200 yards behind me. He sped up nearly hitting me from behind, then swerved to the left, less than 12 inches from my drivers door, and then erraticaly swerved in front of my vehicle, again, nearly clipping my front drivers corner panel. There was no imminent or present danger from passing vehicles to my left. He was not responding to an incident. I could not believe this was the behavior of a public safety officer. Clearly, this public safety officer was not acting in the public's safety. He did not have his lights on. He was not responding to an emergency (I am unsure if they even have the allowance to respond like most first responders). He was throwing a hissy fit that I wasn't driving fast enough for him -in the right lane-traveling within the speed limit- and he put mine and my girlfriend's lives in direct danger-only to slam on his brakes 10 seconds later for the oncoming red light.
I was astonished so I called Public Safety. The woman I spoke with stated "We don't have any officers down that way"...
I responded with ,"you most certainly do, and he purposely tried to run me off the road."
I gave her the vehicle number. Judging from her voice on the phone, she knew who it was.
She ushered me off the phone rather quickly with no followup information. I am searching for an email to contact a higher up, but conveniently-there is no email address for public safety.
Imagine paying the exorbitant taxes we do to an organization that will literally run you and your family off the road-for being a safe and conscientious driver. Oh wait no-that is the case right here in Brookhaven town.
This is utterly disgraceful and I am furious.
