If you're looking for a skilled divorce attorney who is also fair and honest, contact Steve Daray. His staff was always very helpful and responded to all of my questions timely without hesitation.

Divorced, finally, after a long journey. Mr.Daray was there for me throughout the entire ordeal. Unfortunately, my divorce was very contentious and we stayed the course, played fair, did the right thing at every turn and in the end Mr. Daray was the absolute best person to represent me and my children’s best interests. I’m still stunned how well things worked out and I’m so glad I heeded his counsel.

Mr. Daray represented me during my divorce, he was very professional and responsive during a very difficult time. He was very direct and realistic on my situation. He has tremendous insight and looks at all options and walks you through each milestone of domestic law. He walked me through the legal process as well as sharing his wealth of experience post divorce and he was absolutely right! He is not only a great domestic attorney but a great and honest man.

I had a less than easy divorce and custody case. From the minute I spoke with Mr. Daray on the phone, I felt at ease with him, and in trusting him with the most important thing in my life, the welfare of my daughter. He is very communicative and quick to reply to messages. His entire staff is well informed and always kept me up to date with the latest information on my case. Most definitely recommend him!

Steve Earns high honors across the board. Steve went out of his way to call me until he was able to have a very important conversation regarding my case. As he usually does, he walked me through the process of the case at this point in time. He gave me likely outcomes and suggested scenarios that I needed to ponder. The most important of my values for a lawyer and Steve does this exceedingly well is the ability to emotionally distance themselves from immediacy of a case to see and communicate the larger picture as clients we do not always perceive. If your reading this, you may not have chosen Steve as your lawyer yet, but do. He is worth every penny spent and has served the practice and clients well. Thank you Steve for everything you have done for me to help put things in perspective, leave wounds of divorce in the past, and focus me in moving forward to be a better me.

Stephen has helped me through an ongoing custody matter and I couldn't be happier with his work. He is honest, hardworking and tough, but fair. He is extremely professional to work with, but also very down to earth and personable. I trust his expertise and personal opinion and would recommend him to anyone.

Stephen is amiable, intelligent, and reliable. He has been working my case for over 2 years and I value his input, effort and guidance in all matters. I appreciate his frank manner, and his ability to navigate the personalities he deals with.

I retained Steve as my divorce attorney six years ago and happen to come across this review and wanted to share my experience while working with Steve. When I met Steve I was very impressed with his knowledge and experience in divorce law, but he also showed that he cared about my case and would do all that he could to reach the best possible outcome. A divorce is a painful and emotional experience for everyone involved and Steve understands those feelings and does an excellent job of listening to your concerns and does his best to provide realistic solutions regarding your case. I would advise you to keep in mind that a divorce as in life is not always fair. Things may not go your way in court, but Steve will be very honest with you on which direction to take and he will work diligently on your case to find a timely resolution so you can move on with your life. My experience working with Steve was outstanding and I would highly recommend retaining him for your legal needs. I'm confident you will find him to be a sincere, professional and hard working attorney who will do his best to represent you while guiding you every step of the way through the divorce process.

20 year marriage over in 8 short months. That is unheard of. Domestic Relations is a very emotional area of the law. Steve gets that, and he will get you through the whole process. You will not like everything you hear, but fair is fair. No one wins in a divorce, you've got to understand that. Steve is an excellant attorney, he knows exactly what to do and how to do it. He is honest and so respectful of your situation. Simply the Best and Worth every Penny!
