Best attorney in Maryland actually a really honest guy. He actually representated me on numerous occasions getting me the best outcome possible in each situation. Highly recommend using BEN Evan as an attorney.

Great attorney, very dependable. You can count on his knowledge of the law.

My husband and I hired Mr. Stevens to handle his child support and custody case on several occasions. If only avvo existed at that time we would have known better. We provided him with TONS of documentation to use in our defense.. emails, phone transcripts, even had folks subpeoned to speak on our behalf. He did NOT use ANY of the evidence we provided him, it was evidence that would have changed the entire outcome of our case. BOTH TIMES (years apart) we provided him with more than enough evidence to win this case but he did not utilize any of it.. it was if he was totally unprepared for our case in court. His paralegal, Linda, is amazing and courteous but she obviously has no idea how terrible he is in court because she will lead you to believe that he knows his stuff.. but he just, doesn't. We actually hired him twice thinking the first time was a fluke, if avvo had existed back then we would have known better than to use him again. But we did, because we thought he knew our case from before. Now we know, he NEVER studied any of the information we provided him. In additon, he'll charge you the hourly rate for each phone call, email that is made to his office or that he speaks with you. This man dresses very well, he has the looks of a "bull dog, top tier attorney".. but he lost our cases on both occasions when he did not have to. If he had used the evidence we provided him and actually fought our case in court, then I would at least be able to say he tried. He did not. He took payment.. makes you feel all warm and fuzzy as if he's got it handled and then he will FAIL you in court. DO NOT, HIRE THIS LAWYER. YOU WILL LOOSE. The high end vehicle, suits and personality make you think he's successful at what he does.. He's one hell of an actor, worthy of an Academy Award for playing the role of a real life lawyer. To add insult to injury, rather than change his working practices and actually use the critique I've given him as a means to grow and better himself, he attempts to have my review removed. Thankfully Avvo is a legitimate site and I have PROOF that Mr. Stevens indeed was our attorney. You can't get court paperwork with an attorneys name on it; unless that attorney was in fact representing you. Mr. Stevens is not a "bad guy". I don't intend for my review to judge him on a personal level. In fact, he is a very nice person. Personally I can say he is very likable. If he were someone we met in casual setting I can see that he might fit very well in our circle. He is a family man, so I expect that he understands the sensitivity of all that he's dealing with. There is nothing bad about Mr. Stevens personally. But this is business. When dealing with nasty matters, you don't need a lawyer that you like because s/he is nice -- you need a lawyer that is proficient.. a lawyer that is prepared. PREPARED: it means ready, capable and up to your job. Point blank, we gave Mr. Stevens everything he needed to BE prepared. He was not, on both occasions; and I suspect, by his attempt to remove my review, still is not in the least bit willing to do anything to be prepared in the future to avoid another unsatisfied client.

Best who ever did it...She'll get you off... And affordable...

Es un buen abogado te ayuda hasta lo último, estoy satisfecho por su servicio y lo bueno que habla ESPAÑOL!!!!.. Thanks mr john!!.. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Mr. O'Connor is fast and effective. He's a good man with the best of intentions, and he's pragmatic. I recommend him highly.

Hhe does not do any work on your case. he does not do preparation, motions for discovery, interrogatories, or anything at all. A waste of my money. He was also referred by a friend of a friend. A complete waste of money. almost lost my case until I found another attorney. Don't waste you time, energy, and most of all your money retaining him.

I highly recommend the Law Offices of Ayo M. Stevens, LLC. They are professional and have over 20 years of experience in all family law matters. Attorney Stevens is extremely knowledgeable regarding child support, custody issues, alimony, divorce and all aspects of family law. This is a firm that really does care about their clients and makes you feel as if you are important.

Attorney Ayo Stevens was actually the second attorney that I had retained, after I had to dissolve the first legal relationship due to a lack of genuine committment to the case. Attorney Stevens was referred to me from a friend, who was sure that I would be pleased with his approach and knowledge in regards to family law. To say that I was impressed can easily be an understatement! Attorney Stevens took my case with very little time to gather the facts, evidence and documents, but he did a superb job in preparation and attention to detail. The opposing counsel was unwilling to work with my former counsel, but she was more than happy to work with Attorney Stevens, which allowed more time to settle the small items of dispute and get to the meat of the case. I suppose being a very well presented and spoken, tall, handsome and knowledgeable attorney does command a certain level of respect from the opposing counsel, as well as all parties involved. In the end, Attorney Stevens proved himself to be ethical, personable, as well as trustworthy in my opinion, as well as my family. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney in the area of family law in the Maryland area.

Mr. Stevens was referred to me by a good friend of mine when I was going through a very nasty and acrimonious divorce and custody battle with my husband. From the start, Mr. Stevens presented himself as a very concerned, caring, and compassionate lawyer. He always made time to talk to me by phone when I had a question, or when I had a concern. He always followed up and followed through. His attitude was always positive and he never stooped to malicious tactics, which was totally opposite the manner in which my ex-husband's lawyer conducted herself in representing him. He wanted what was best for me, but he went about it in a very fair and conscientious manner. In the end, me and my husband opted to do a consent agreement, and Mr. Stevens was very supportive of my decision, which again was totally opposite the position my husband's lawyer took. He reviewed the consent agreement to make sure it accurately covered all relevant areas, and advised me regarding what was in my best interest to do. Mr. Stevens started off as my lawyer, but he ended as one of my most trusted and respected friends. I highly recommend Mr. Stevens to anyone looking for a lawyer with a high sense of ethics and fair play.
