Mr.Black is quite possibly one of the smartest individuals I've ever met. His knowledge of the law and how it all works is incredibly impressive. He is so well versed that he can quote case law and Supreme Court cases off the top of his head. He also does a great job of explaining to you how everything will work in terms that can actually be understood by someone who doesn't know how legal proceedings work. I wish I had hired him first. I made the mistake of hiring two other attorneys before I hired Mr. Black. They provided me with incorrect information and did not know how processes actually worked. Mr.Black corrected all the misconceptions that had been planted by my previous attorneys and explained to me a clear path forward in my case. Divorce is difficult no matter how you slice it. Mr.Black did a wonderful job during case preparation, depositions, and court filings. Mr.Black did such a wonderful job of deposing witnesses that the picture he painted was so clear the other side only had a few questions to ask after he was done. He very politely paints a vivid picture with his strategically asked questions and leaves nothing to doubt when he is done. In addition to his exceptional level of knowledge and expertise in depositions and case preparation, he also works tirelessly and around the clock to ensure you are cared for and every little detail about your case is perfectly planned. Mr.Black would respond to emails at all hours of the night, on weekends, and even on vacation. I would have never imagined an attorney existed who would be so dedicated. He is absolutely incredible! Mr. Black was also willing to work with me to help keep my costs down. Instead of having his paralegal prepare a summary or some other non-legal task, I asked if I could prepare the documents since I am well versed in the use of Excel and other software. There were various non-legal documents that he let me prepare, which he would review and revise if  necessary. This resulted in my only being charged for a small portion of the document preparation instead of the many hours it would have cost for his paralegal to prepare the entire document.  Mr.Black also managed to negotiate with my spouse and his attorney which proved impossible for my other two attorneys. I really wish I had hired Mr.Black from the beginning. My other two attorneys made huge costly mistakes in my case. I wish I had known about Mr.Black when I filed. His expertise is unmatched and he is incredibly intelligent and thorough. Don't make the same mistakes I did. Hire Mr.Black from the beginning to ensure you are in good hands. Divorce is not a time for uncertainty. Mr.Black provided me with solid advice and did a great job of handling my ex and his impossible attorney.

My daughter was involved in a two-car head on collision accident. After the initial scare about her health, I was not too concerned about the legal aspects until I found out that the other driver's family was planning to sue even though the police report supported that the other driver was at fault. I decided that we needed a good lawyer on our side. My friend recommended Steve Black who represented her in a divorce settlement and I thought that he could recommend a personal injury lawyer. It turns out that Steve has done a lot of personal injury cases but does not advertise this component of his expertise. He was very impressive during our first interview, asking pertinent questions, providing thoughtful analysis of the circumstances, and recommending various plans of actions. I hired him on the spot even after he recommended talking to other lawyers before making a decision (a big plus for hiring in my mind). We have been extremely happy with his thorough preparation, accurate predictions of the likely responses and ultimate outcomes of the participants, amazing patience (my daughter is not well organized), and the successful conclusion of our case - maximum settlement in our favor. I give my strongest recommendation for hiring Steve Black in a personal injury case.

I hired Mr Black after many roadblocks in my post divorce case. I never regretted hiring him. He worked tirelessly on my case which resulted in a hearing and appeal. He was professional, intelligent, detail-oriented, and confident we would win. We did win and I could not be happier with him and his staff! He and his staff communicated well but not to the point of billing exorbitant fees. I only wish I had found him at the time of my divorce and not 6 years after! He’s a real Bulldog!

I hired Steve for my complicated, post divorce matter that has persisted for years. Steve is highly intelligent, and while I had been previously represented, Steve is the only attorney that was able to discover my ex husband's true income which was exponentially more than claimed. Steve is extremely detail oriented and will get to the truth. He also doesn't look for ways to overbill his clients, he is fair. He kept my emotions in check and remained strategic. My only regret is I didn't know about Steve and hire him from the start!

In 1970 I married my high school sweetheart. After 11 years of marriage, we divorced. In our divorce settlement my husband agreed to pay our son's private school tuition from elementary through high school.After many years, he stopped paying the tuition. I hired Stevan Black as my attorney. He was very kind and was a wonderful attorney. He had my ex-husband continue to pay private school tuition and he even had to pay my attorney fees and court cost. I recommend Stevan Black. He was a life saver!

I was in need of legal services to correct a long running matter. After speaking with Mr. Black for 5 minutes, I felt like I could see the light at the end of the tunnel. Mr. Black and Mr. Ryland were very helpful and professional, always keeping me up on the status of my case. I have given their names to others in need and I will continue to do so. My sincere thanks once again to Mr. Black and his entire firm.

Mr Black helped me tremendously through every step of my divorce. He pays attention to details, is conscientious, skilled, and ethical. I trust him completely. My divorce has gone to trial and he was incredible. I am a physician and he helped my kids and I through the single most difficult time period of our lives. I give him the highest recommendation possible.

Mr. Black was hired by our family to represent us in a very difficult situation. He was very attentive as far as listening to the facts of our case and advising us as to what he could accomplish. He offered insight for solutions and was able to direct us with much confidence. We were always able to reach Mr. Black or his assistant Kristy with ease and were treated very respectfully. We felt Mr. Black was more than qualified to represent us and resolved issues in an honest, timely and very professional manner. We hired Mr. Black after being very disappointed with another attorney who was referred to us. I would hire Mr. Black again without any hesitation and felt like he and his team went above and beyond our expectations.

I have been working with Stevan for the last few months on my divorce and custody case. Throughout this entire process, Stevan worked tirelessly to provide me with the utmost caring and professional care for which I could have asked. He genuinely listened to my concerns and clearly explained the process to me. My phone calls and emails were always answered promptly. His knowledge of the law and his many years of experience were overwhelmingly evident. Each and every question I asked was answered with a clear, concise answer which made me feel very comfortable and eased my fears. I would highly recommend Stevan Black to represent anyone needing help in the aspect of family law.

Stevan represented me in a complicated separation and divorce case. I initially sought him out based on the recommendation of another professional in the community, and I would strongly recommend him to anyone else who is facing a similar situation. He provided excellent guidance and kept me informed throughout the process. He was respectful of my concerns, answered queries rapidly, and was tenacious in his attention to both the primary issues as well as the details. The integrity he demonstrated during this difficult episode in my life was reassuring. I also appreciated the professionalism and warmth of his staff.
