Hired at 325$ an hour with expectations he'd be motivated, diligent, and accurate was not what I received. He had to be reminded constantly that I was waiting patiently for action. Which I got charged for. He waited so long to act he lost track of details. When asked why he didn't submit documents, he didn't feel it was necessary. He consumed money by making mistakes, I had to correct, then charged me. Failed to gather ALL information given to him so he had to correct and reserve 4 ppl and amended court documents costing me more money. Overall, I wasn't impressed. He was fired, showed up to court anyway then charged me. He must be hard up for $$$. That he has to take money from a single woman that has a limited income to fatten his wallet. This is my perception of my 10month encounter with Steve and $7,000+ dollars later. It took Steve over 9 months to get a court date. Documents only require 20 days to respond. Thats a lot of wasted time. Steve was hire in Feb. I was expect to have the house on the market in the spring. His lackadaisical approach is frustrating. Emails were written and a special meeting was made to get my point across.
Steve didn't need my signature to withdraw from my case. Him showing up for court was an obligation to the court system not me, as he no longer was my employee. He charged me for drive time and the time he waited to tell the judge he was terminated. He's not a stand-up guy in my book.
My advice, go somewhere else.

I have seen both sides of this law firm; the courtroom side and the client side. Attorneys Koch, Duquette, and Renz and their staff are top notch. They listen empathetically when needed, yet shoot straight, clearly and concisely. They got the exact results I was looking for in my divorce. I would hire them again.

Atty Koch walked me through every step of my high conflict child custody case. My case was very contentious. He managed my expectations at the first meeting and told me what the most likely custody that I would be awarded. He never sugar coated anything.
He was prompt at returning phone calls and emails.
This was a rough/stressful time in my life and I was confident I would get the results we talked about.
Upon meeting Atty Koch, he made a statement to me that had helped me through the months of the court process “the wheels of justice grind slowly”.... meaning everybody wants court to be done yesterday- including myself.... but that isn’t the case.
Be patient.
If I ever need a lawyer again I already know who I’m calling.

If you are looking for a divorce attorney, I would recommend Attorney Steven Koch. From the first initial consultation to the very end he was above board. When he talks with you it is like you have known him for years, he is very understanding, upfront regarding what the process may entail, and that he would be by my side through it all. The staff at his firm were as wonderful as he was. If anyone is looking for an attorney that will fight for YOU and what is BEST for your individual situation, then look no further than attorney Steven Koch.

I hired Attorney Koch in Fall of 2017 for a divorce and the divorce was completed in Spring of 2019. He had to weave through 24 years of marriage, three teenage children and a family run business. Steve is very proactive in his work and this benefited me again and again through this divorce process. Steve worked with the GAL lawyer, filed a motion to modify our temporary order, was well prepared for financial mediation meetings, wrote a very well written martial agreement settlement and our employee/employer agreement and lastly filed contempt of court.

Mr. Koch is great ! I had a long court process standing up for my 6 year old child against someone who is suppose to keep him safe and support him. The length was not Mr. Koch fault it was the other parties and the delicate nature of why we where in court.
This was one of the scariest events I have ever gone through. Mr. Koch was so on top of everything. He did a great job walking me through what could or couldn't happen. He knows just how to explaining legal jargon so you understand what is going on. Mr. Koch was always prepared for and in court. He was so on top of it that the other side couldn't keep up ( I felt).
I am very please with the outcome and will be using him in the future if needed.
His hard work did not disappoint and he went above and beyond to help me and my son.

While it's easy to complete divorce paperwork on your own, it's also possible to make mistakes when you're not familiar with the legal system. Steve works with court forms on a regular basis and already knows what to expect. He was very knowledgeable and helped us to complete our paperwork. He was also available to answer questions we had in a timely manner.

Facing a divorce, for me, was terrifying. Between assets, custody, support and all of the little things that I didn't even think of that go into the process it truly was daunting. Hiring Attorney Koch was by far the best decision I made for myself and for my children. In my initial free consultation with Attorney Koch, he walked me thru everything I needed to put my mind and nerve at ease. He patiently answered questions and made sure I completely understood the process. He is incredibly knowledgeable and patient. A man who will leave no stone unturned to ensure his client gets the absolute best representation and outcome possible. With every meeting, court hearing, mediation, even thru the sale of my property he was by my side to make certain I was receiving everything I was entitled to putting to rest any concerns or confusion I have had. Most importantly, the outcome of my divorce was in my opinion a complete win and I am truly satisfied with everything he has done for me.

Steve not only represented me for a divorce I never thought I would have, he listened and made all my concerns heard. My phone calls were answered promptly, and his staff were friendly. Steve made my divorce as stress free as possible, and helped me understand the laws behind what he was doing for me. I highly recommend Steve and his entire firm, and thank them all for my winning situation after the divorce.
