This was my first instance where I felt I needed legal representation. I knew my situation was not a typical "slip and fall" case. I felt lost, helpless and simply did not know where to turn or what to do next. Mr Leshner took the time to listen to the specific details of my situation, explained not a course of action- but instead gave me different legal options and described (in understandable detail) the different legal courses and the time, actions and expectations of each option. Mr Leshner took away the apprehension and unknown of my situation and has set me up to get the best results for myself, my health and my future. I cannot recommend Mr Leshner in any more higher praise. His input has changed my legal situation and my life for the better in more ways I can accurately describe in an online review!!
When Stephen first met with me I was impressed with his casual and straight forward manner. He gave me a rundown of his qualifications, listened carefully to my situation, added anecdotes to let me know he understood. He asked me a few specific questions and agreed to take my case. I believe he would have honestly told me if I did NOT have a case. The agreement letter was simple. He gave me a realistic time line on what will happen, when. He did not raise any unrealistic expectations, but his confidence gave me confidence that I made the right choice. During the process I was guided through what I needed to do by Steve and, probably more importantly, his worthy assistant, Tammy. Tammy was Johnnie-on-the-spot to answer questions and sooth my worries. I KNOW that if I had tried to represent myself with the involved insurance companies I would not have gotten very far. There's no doubt Steve made a lot of money from my case, but to have someone else go to bat for me with the insurance companies, doctors, and hospitals was well worth it to me. The outcome was most satisfactory and now, nearly a year after my accident, I feel like the case can be closed and I can move on with my life. Thank you to Steve and Tammy!!
Steve and his paralegal were absolutely wonderful! Steve and his staff were caring, courteous and knowledgeable as we made our way through one of the most difficult times we have endured as a family. Steve was conscientious and supportive. His clear expertise in his field allowed us to focus on healing while as we were able to leave the burden of everything else in his hands . I would highly recommend him to anyone needing legal counsel.
I've worked with many lawyers over the years in all aspects of business, however never in a personal injury case. Stephen and his staff helped my family, especially my Sister who lives 2000 miles from me who was injured. He and his team made the entire process seamless and professional while taking good care of my Sister for me and my Mother. She was awarded a settlement that is just and will help my Sister hopefully live a very comfortable future, although she is disabled. My Family and I highly recommend Stephen should you need his service. You will not be disappointed.
I am a retired lawyer. I tried many cases in several states and in the federal system and taught CLE courses. When my wife and moved to AZ, we had no lawyer contacts. We were both injured in a car crash. I researched, interviewed and then retained Steve. He did an exceptional job and kept us fully advised throughout the case. Years later, I was hit again and retained Steve a second time which ought to say everything about my confidence in his and his team's ability.
Our family has used Mr. Leshner on two occasions with better than expected results in both personal injury cases. Great with our kid, who was the harmed party, and kept us up to date and informed re the progress and what we needed to do, when and why. Forthright when needed, great at laying out what's important to focus on now. Great referral to a specialist re interesting aspects of the settlement/trust and a degree of care and attention throughout both matters that our family appreciated.
For the first time in my life, I was in need of a personal injury attorney. I wanted someone with impeccable ethics. I wanted someone who would be honest and straight forward with me and I wanted the truth about my case. And I have received all of that with Steve. Not every injury case can be successfully litigated, and though that is painful to hear, you need to hear the truth to set your expectations. You don't want someone without ethics to tell you what you want to hear. With Steve you will get honesty, ethics, incredible experience and a hard working savvy lawyer - what else could you ask for?
Steve Leshner and team were an integral part of my legal malpractice case. All my questions were responded to quickly. Because of the professional and effective communication from him and his team with all involved parties, an agreement was reached promptly. The results were more than my wife and I could have hoped for.
He was referred to me by another experienced Phoenix attorney for a rather straightforward matter. My case turned out to be much more work than any of us had anticipated but Mr. Leshner and his staff saw it all the way through and made made brilliant decisions throughout. Everything they do is well thought out. Their work product is timely and professional. I would have been impressed regardless of the result of my case but I won so I am ecstatic!
Professional, knowledgeable, and caring are just some of things I can say about Steve and his law practice. He has your interest as his primary concern and makes the legal process easy for the ones not in the profession, like me. I highly recommend Steve and his practice for your legal needs.
