Steve,
I want to take a moment to thank you for assisting me with my case. I'm almost certain that my case is one of a kind, the likes of which you've never seen before. It was a wild rollercoaster with many twists and turns along the way, along with the uncertainty that anything could actually be completed. But you were poised, positive and confident that we would make it, and you delivered! Thank you so much for your hard work and tenacity to finish the job. I'll always appreciate what you did.

Divorce is such an ugly thing. It is usually something beyond draining in every way imaginable, especially in circumstances involving a non-amicable and/or entitled spouse. Often, such difficulties are compounded by concurrent issues with finances, health, etc. Most importantly, when innocent children are involved, it becomes crucial to protect them from the surrounding chaos.
During such a trying time, it is vital to partner with an attorney who is experienced, competent, trustworthy, diligent, discerning, and level-headed. It is also important to find an attorney who is well-connected and respected within the Florida law community. With my personal case now fully resolved, I can assert that Mr. Steven Hair, Esquire meets/exceeds all of these attributes.
Another characteristic about Mr. Hair that deserves mentioning is a certain humility that is rarely seen in successful attorneys, especially those with his extent of experience (over 30 years). If you are looking for an aggressive "pit bull" type of attorney who will invariably take extreme measures on your behalf, perhaps Mr. Hair is not for you (and he would tell you this himself). But do NOT mistake this for weakness. Rather, Mr. Hair is a careful investor of his time, and time = money. YOUR money. You can trust Mr. Hair and his staff to not only represent your best interests, but also to be a steward of your finances by not accruing wasteful hours on measures bound to fail.
He does this by carefully listening to the various aspects of your case and then educating you on how the law applies (or tends to apply) given your circumstances. Further, if your case is somehow unique or complex, Mr. Hair is unafraid to tell you when he needs to look into specific details to provide definitive information and guidance. This is a mark of a true professional.
Finally, if you are a parent, you can trust Mr. Hair to keep your child/children forefront of mind throughout your case. For us parents, divorce is something far more than just an elongated financial negotiation. The parenting plan deserves at least an equal amount of time and thought to ensure that kids will endure the process of divorce as unscathed as possible. I am personally looking forward to the next chapter of my life and watching my children transition into thriving young adults. I owe much of this optimism and assurance to Mr. Hair. I am more than pleased to offer my highest recommendation for his legal services.

I cannot express just how grateful I was and continue to be to have had Mr. Hair handle my very contentious, ugly and time-consuming divorce. The very nature of his calm, always controlled and "stand your ground" demeanor in and of itself drove my previous husband absolutely crazy and caused him to make some very questionable choices. While the proceedings took longer than any of us hoped because much of it was conducted out of state, Mr. Hair's services were worth every single penny. He was truly a lion on my behalf when it was sorely needed, and "forever grateful" does not even come close to the thanks that I owe him and his staff for literally getting me my life back. He is articulate, very up to date on Florida's family law matters, and both kind and compassionate. Highly recommended!

Steven is an amazing divorce attorney. He is patient, really listens, and is extremely educated when it comes to divorces. My divorce was a challenge and at times I was very distraught. Steven was extremely calming, caring and genuine when it came to dealing with my occasion break downs with dealing with my ex. I truly believe in the way he handles himself with judges, other attorneys, and in the courtroom. He was respectful toward everyone in the courtroom and I feel that that is an awesome quality to have in a tense environment. I couldn't be any happier with my choice of a divorce attorney and all is now well with my outcome. Thank you soooo very much Steve.

Attorney Hair recently handled my daughter’s divorce and relocation to another state with very young children. He was extremely kind, professional and listened carefully every time we spoke. It was a difficult case and he won it for us and did not overcharge or charge for every email or panic call she made. He is a very good person as well as a great lawyer.

I would definitely recommend Steven Hair to anyone. He is awesome!!! He was recommended to me by a very good attorney friend of mine after I had a falling out with my 1st divorce attorney who was arrogant and would barely listen to me or hardly communicate with me about what was going on.
Unfortunately my divorce was high conflict with regard to the time share schedule of our 2 young children. There was an attempt by my former spouse to relocate the kids to another state. She was very vindictive and was constantly trying to minimize the amount of time me and the kids were together. I was so stressed out and anxious. I couldn’t sleep and the kids were unhappy. After interviewing several other attorneys I decided to work with Steve. First he helped me through an emergent mediation to secure a temporary time share agreement which I was quite pleased with the outcome.
My divorce was truly the most difficult time of my life. My former spouse would push my buttons every chance she got. She was so unreasonable throughout the entire process, would fabricate lies, threaten me, etc. I’m so thankful I had Steve to get me through it. Steve taught me a lot of skills for dealing with her. Skills I still use today. As much as I wanted to lash back at her sometimes, Steve kept me calm. He was a voice of reason. He would always tell me, “do not respond to her craziness in kind” (some of the best advice he ever gave me).
Steve worked with me a lot to formulate a strategy. He listened to my concerns and worries. He definitely does care and would always ask how the kids were doing. He communicated with me on a regular basis and would get back to me within a reasonable amount of time whenever I needed advice. He is clearly an expert at what he does. His knowledge base and experience is vast. Although he is soft spoken he is definitely a tiger. He skillfully uncovered and debunked so many of my former spouses lies during depositions. I was definitely happy I was sitting on the same side of the table as Steve.
One month before we almost went to trial we had a final mediation that went until 4:30 in the morning but we came to an agreement and it was finally over. Even lacking sleep I swear Steve still thought of everything. It has been just over a year since we finalized and I am very happy with the outcome thanks to him. Ultimately he helped me secure equal time share and the kids are still here in Florida and it is all working out great. The kids are happy and doing really well. He always told me my co-parenting relationship with my former spouse would improve in time and he was right about that too. Win Win for the kids! Thank you Steve!!!!

Mr. Hair went above and beyond any attorney I met. I'm a ill young lady who has multiple medical problems. He always ALWAYS made sure I was safe and as calm as I could be. He had to handle situations that were dangerous. I could go on and on about his efficiency and professionalism. But him caring and not all about the money is what impressed me. Thank you Mr. Hair

Some divorces are amicable - mine was contentious.
So finding a top-shelf lawyer to represent my interests was critical. Hiring Steven was one of the best decisions I have ever made – as what is decided during the divorce process has long-lasting future impact. There’s a prevailing myth that guys will always get the short end of the stick during a divorce. And while that may be true in many respects (based on a somewhat biased court system that generally favors the mother), having Attorney Hair on your team will level the playing field and even shift the cards in your favor. Steven is a shrewd negotiator and has an intimate understanding of all legal matters. He is a great listener and will take the time to really understand your case (while offering up solid advice). As a result of his stellar legal work, my divorce outcome was much better than anticipated.
I highly recommend him!

I have used Mr. Hair on several occasions, First my son needed help with his children's mother as she was causing all kinds of legal issues and even got a restraining order. Mr. Hair was reasonable, informative and has a wealth of knowledge.Don't let his mild manner fool you he is a man that not only knows the law makes a person feel like there is always hope in every situation. My son is using Mr. hair again years later in a custody battle as he trust his sons future in his hands.My daughter got a divorce and after having a Lawyer that as we might say threw her to the wolves hired Mr. Hair to help straighten out some ridiculous demands that her ex and his attorney claimed got left out of the child custody provisions by mistake. The situation seemed hopeless and my daughter very distraught, did not trust any attorneys, but after Hiring Mr. Hair things got resolved and My daughter is no longer bullied by her ex or his attorney.Mr. Hair gave my daughter back faith in the legal system and she has and will continue to rate Mr Hair a 5+ star rating.If your in need of excellent advice or excellent legal service Mr. Hair is the most outstanding lawyer I have ever met.

Steven Hair is not only an amazing laywer but has a good heart. He listens to what you have to say and gives advise that helps tremedously. I did not have a good laywer prior to having hire Mr. Hair and I wished I would have had him all along because I truly believe things would have been different but I will say that I felt confident with him by my side. I was a mess a lot during my time with Steven and he was always so calm and helped not only calm me down but help the whole situation I was going threw. I now look differently at things with my ex and how to better handle the situation all because of Mr. Hair. I will always recommend him to anyone and everyone I know. I would call him and he would just listen never intrerupted me until I was done talking and he was always so paitent and calm and really was sincere with his respomses that it helped me so much. Trust me hiring him was the best decision I have EVER made and I will always use him if needed in the future and knowing that I can count on him gives me such peace. Amazing person all around and I had the pleasure of meeting his daughter who works with him and she is just like him and going to be a great laywer and I know its because of the person he is raising a great daughter.
