About

Stephen has a busy practice in wills, trusts, and probate.His estate planning practice reflects the vital experience that can only come from the trenches of probate court.  Consequently, he knows that effective estate planning requires much more than completing forms.  He is able to listen to what his estate planning clients want and guide them through the practical decisions they need to make to avoid probate court.  He also informally helps his professional network with the issues they face with their elderly clients.Stephen graduated cum laude from ASU School of Law.  While attending law school he clerked for three trial judges, and earned High ProBono distinction for work he completed in the victims’ rights advocacy clinic.  Among many awards, he received the Silver Beaver, the highest award given by the BSA Grand Canyon Council for his many years of excellent service.

I totally would recommend Stephen . He helped me with a legal matter with my sister and did a great job. This was Three years ago. And here just recently helped me get questions and answers I need for my deceased fathers estate. Both times he knew what he was doing. He cares about his clients and does a great job.

Our company finds money through various sources, then finds the heirs who can claim those funds. Stephen has done all our court work in AZ for many years and has successfully represented us. He's very knowledgeable and through his tenacity was responsible for getting our legitimate heirs paid when the State read their own laws incorrectly. I wish the other attorneys I have to work with in other states were half as good!

I asked Stephen to help me when my dad passed away with the family trust. He was very helpful the whole way and would give me great advice on how I should handle certain items of the trust. The only time that I was not able to reach Stephen was when he was in court or a deposition. His staff was very kind and helpful and made sure that my message reached Stephen when I was not able to speak to him when I called.

Stephen is skilled and knowledgeable in the probate arena, where he has represented me for years. Most important to me - he is honest and ethical. A reasonable, level-headed practitioner, Stephen is always tuned in to handling cases and solving issues that arise in them efficiently and cost-effectively. This is not an attorney who will drag a matter out longer than necessary just to churn fees or create controversy where none should exist. Even though he doesn't approach a case looking for a fight, have no fear that he is entirely capable of being a strong and aggressive advocate for his client when the situation warrants. It's clear to me after working with him on dozens of cases that doing what is right (morals) is more important to Stephen than proving that he is right (ego). As a result, his fees are always very reasonable for the invaluable service he provides. If you're looking for an attorney you can trust, who won't take you to the cleaners, who will fight for what is right without starting a war - Stephen is your man. Highly recommended!

I hired Stephen thru a referral from my parents lawyer Wilford Taylor. I hired him to preserve all that my parents wanted. He talked me into changing everything my parents paid good money to have written on their Wills Trusts and Estate! He wrapped it all up nicely and handed it all to my brothers with a bow and I got nothing and the brother my mother took out of her estate got half sharing all with my other brother who Stephen talked me into giving Executorship!!! Beware! When emotions are involved I wanted my relationship with my lawyer and did exactly what he asked me to do...I got screwed in the end and got nothing!!! Even out of moms vault because he said "how do I know this $100.00 bill is not worth a million"? Idiot google it! He is terrible to say the least!!! STAY AWAY RUN AWAY!
