Pros
1
The lawyer is described as knowledgeable, caring, and professional throughout the legal process
“Steve was very understanding in my case and helped out a lot by explaining things to me and letting me know what my options were. He patiently listened to me numerous times as I yammered on about my concerns with the case and treated me as a person.”
2
The lawyer and his staff are praised for their responsiveness, accessibility, and willingness to address client concerns promptly
“He even responded to my emails while he was on summer vacation with his family! He could clearly tell I was concerned & wanted an answer sooner rather than later by the tone of my email. None of this waiting days/weeks for a response like some other attorneys I have dealt with in the past.”
3
The lawyer is described as a strong advocate who fights for the client's best interests and works to achieve the best possible outcome
“Steve Ockerman took my case through the office of victim's assistance, and continued as my attorney of record through several family court proceedings. During this crucial time, he patiently listened to my concerns, and offered solutions that minimized the time we spent in court proceedings.”
Cons
1
One reviewer experienced issues with the lawyer making mistakes in preparing a court order, and the firm's unwillingness to correct the error
“Steven B. Ockerman was hired to prepare a Court Order in an uncontested child support matter. After the final document was received, I noticed one line of the Court Order stated child support payment of $150 every other week. The next line said to be taken through payroll deduction at $300 per month. You do not need to be a math major to realize that $150 every two weeks does NOT equal $300 per month. The Court Order was in conflict with itself and was not enforceable. Not a single payment has been made nor received in over three years.”

Another reviewer felt the lawyer was not a good advocate and did not invest in a positive outcome for the client and their family
“He did an horrible job of explaining the legal process, and was often arrogant and condescending. I found a new attorney after the second large bill came (again with no accounting for hours spent on my case), since he made it clear by his (in)action and attitude that he was not going to be an advocate for me and my children.”
