I contacted and retained Stephen Palmer in a criminal matter involving a dispute between my sibling and myself related to care of my father who suffers from dementia. Stephen was friendly and knowledgeable. He stepped and stayed with me through the whole process and was able to persuade the courts to as good an outcome as I could have hoped for. I am truly grateful I went with one of the best. Thank you Stephen.

I hired Stephen Palmer for my Estate Planning needs. He and his assistant, Jessica Leuthold, were wonderful to work with and answered all my questions. I am very happy I chose to work with them and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality legal work.

Mr. Palmer represented me a few years ago for a couple of different domestic relations issues over a period of about 6 years. In each case, he was open about the possible results and gave solid, reasonable advice. Although emotions ran high in my dom rel case, Steve steered me on a conciliatory course that helped me work with my ex-husband in a better way than I had been. Not sure if he's still doing family law, but I highly recommend him nonetheless.

Had to rush to get moms estate in order before death. Steven dropped everything that day and by afternoon he had all legal documents prepared. He and Karen then met with mom and I next day at care center to finalize all paperwork and then helped me file all legal papers. Steven is a trustworthy hard working attorney and I highly recommend him for your estate planning.

I first contacted Stephen via email for some preliminary advice for Spousal Support Modification, which he was very prompt to reply with direct advice so when I scheduled a meeting with him I would have all the information needed. Steve and I met just once and he gathered my information, drew up the paper work, filed it with the court, and it was signed by the judge in less than two weeks. Steve is a pleasure to work with and very prompt and professional!!! Thank you Steve!!!!

I retained Steve as my divorce lawyer, as he was recommended to me by a friend. I have nothing but great things to say about Steve and his Paralegal. Steve knows exactly what he is doing and does not miss any details concerning alimony, property division, retirement funds etc.. Steve consistently encouraged me and gave me his best advice during my entire divorce process. Steve and his team were always quick to respond to my many questions and handled my divorce with professionalism and care. I greatly appreciate all of their hard work and looking out for my best interests from start to finish. I would highly recommend Steve and his team to anyone.

After receiving my first ever major offense-a DUII-I was in a state of disarray and shock. I was referred to Stephen Palmer and because of his experience, expertise and class, I am happy and thankful to say that I am on a path to recovery and putting this terrible and embarrassing incident behind me. Mr. Palmer and the entire staff at his firm were professional, attentive and incredibly helpful throughout the entire DUII, court and diversion process. Because of Mr. Palmer and his excellent service, I am happy to recommend him to anyone. He is an exceptional attorney and person and if you are in need of a quality lawyer, than call Stephen. He will make your life and it's challenges better for you. He did for me.

After listening to several horror stories of friends that had to deal with not only the death of a loved one but also trying to navigate through the probate process, I decided to have a Living Trust made. Steve made this extremely easy for me - I'm still confused by the process but he walked me through it step by step and gave me such great direction that it didn't seem at all difficult. I know it will be so much less stressful for my children when I'm gone - which I don't plan on any time soon! Thank you, Steve!
