About

The first time I stepped in front of a jury, I knew I'd found my calling.  I'm a trial lawyer. I try cases because I enjoy helping ordinary people who have been hurt or wronged by another person, a product, or a corporation. I truly care about my clients and their cause, and I welcome the opportunity to hear about your case.I've been fortunate to win many trials early in my career, and it's through those successes that I have leverage to negotiate with insurance companies on behalf of my clients before we decide to go to trial.  Most people, including some lawyers, don't understand that without a track record of wins at trial, a lawyer has no stock-in-trade to negotiate settlements or truly understand the value of a case.  In an age where most attorneys rarely see the inside of the courtroom, I am in a rather unique position in this regard.  Please feel free to contact me to discuss your case.

Hiring Stephen Voorhees to represent me in my car accident litigation was the best choice I could have made. He is professional, kind, knows his stuff inside and out - and he helped me through a terrible, four-year fight that ended happily, thanks to his tireless efforts. He and his paralegal, Liz, were a true joy to work with, and they made a difficult process so much easier to bear. Highly recommend!

I was involved in a terrible accident and was not in any frame of mind to deal with insurance as I was just trying to heal from my injuries. Stephen was recommended by a friend who knew of my situation. After the initial consultation, I had every confidence that I could trust him with my case and leave everything in his hands as I continued to work on my recovery. Stephen and his team took control of the situation, kept me informed with regular updates, answered my questions, and most importantly gave me peace of mind. The settlement I received was way beyond my expectations. I am so grateful to Stephen and his team and would highly recommend him.

After my motor vehicle collision I received injuries that left me in need of medical care treatments and therapies. I found myself non employable, building debt and not knowing how long I would be in that position. With a massive amount of paperwork, on going appointments, calls etc., I was overwhelmed and could not keep up with the demands. I needed a Lawyer. In my search for a lawyer I ran across AVVO on line and read reviews on the lawyers who practiced in this field. I read the review on Stephen and especially noted that he had respectful court behaviour. I contacted Stephen, met with him, and he took my case. He understood the paperwork, he knew who to contact , what to do and did it. This removed a huge weight off my shoulders and allowed me to focus on my medical care treatments, therapies and hopeful recovery. During the whole process he kept in contact with me and answered all my questions and addressed my concerns. I am truly thankful I hired Stephen to represent me. I found him to be genuine. He was always respectful and professional. He is a gracious and caring person and very competent and knowledgeable in the law. Stephen earned my trust and great respect, and of course my sincere thanks for a job well done! I highly recommend Stephen Voorhees.

Stephen did everything in his power to make sure I was being taken care of the entire time. He was such a pleasure to work with through a painful process. Stephen does a great job at keeping you calm in situations that may be uncomfortable and shows compassion when doing so. Thank you Stephen. I hope I never have to work with you again but you were absolutely amazing!

From day one till success, Stephen Voorhees was professional, attentive, organized, superior communication and honest. I would recommend him to anyone I care about and I’m thankful he took my case, as I was well supported with realistic expectations.

Three years ago I was involved in a car accident. I needed medical care and support. Stephen took over my case; taking the time to get to know me, listening carefully, and helping me to understand what was involved in seeking redress. Stephen was in regular contact, letting me know about each new wrinkle, activity and making thoughtful suggestions about next steps. He was very thorough about gathering documentation and interviewing pertinent caregivers. He was always responsive,and very respectful. Such a pleasure to work with! Thank you Stephen Voorhees!

Nobody wants to hire a lawyer and my hands were tired when the other insurance company wouldn’t accept liability when I was in a car accident that was in no way my fault. I was incredibly lucky when Stephen was recommended to me. Not only did the company accept full responsibility but he negotiated a settlement that was more then I was expecting. He talked me through every step and always gave me all my options helping me make my decision by answering all my questions and what outcome each path could take. I am so thankful I had him representing me and had my best interest. I would absolutely use him again and recommend him to anyone who is a similar situation as I was. Thank you Stephen!

Two year ago, I was involved in an accident that resulted in personal injury that I was left to pay for out of pocket. I was referred to Stephen by my aunt, who also had a great experience with him. Initially, I was very nervous about consulting with an attorney as I had never been involved in a law suit before and quite frankly, I felt like my health claims were fairly insignificant, although the financial burden was not. The very first conversation I had with Stephen was one where he assured me that I was doing the right thing and that he would do anything and everything in his power to help me receive a compensation that was fair. I think the rest goes without being said based on my 5 star review. Stephen worked extremely hard for two years to build what would eventually be a great case in my trial, he was always there whenever I needed to talk to him, no matter what time of day, and he always provided his most honest, expert advice. He is an excellent attorney and I would recommend him to anyone.

My husband and I where injured in a head on collision. We consulted a local law firm. They suggested we have separate attorneys. Stephen was willing to take my case even though my injuries were soft tissue. My husband injuries were broken wrists and cracked ribs. His case was settle quickly. The insurance company was unwilling to offer settlement considering I didn’t have broken bones. stephen understood that I had suffered from the accident even though the bruising was more internal leaving hemobotins in my breasts and pelvic areas. We went to trail and won.stephen is an excellent attorney. Even though he had been very ill before the court date, he was well prepared and very professional at trial. I highly recommend Stephen Voorhees.

Stephen Voorhees was excellent. He listened to my concerns and gave me honest advice. Much more...I always felt that he had my back. A true professional during a rough patch after I was hit by a car that ran a red light. Thank you I appreciate the help. Robb
