I have utilized Steve's services and expertise in contract/agreement negotiations multiple times. Each and every time he has far exceeded my expectations and took care of my needs and wants in regards to the negotiations with the other parties mainly in the business employment and sports and entertainment fields. I have and will continue to refer my family, friends and colleagues to Steve.

Steve was in house counsel at a firm where I was appointed CFO to help lead a turnaround. To call it a mess is being very kind. There were backdoor deals, cash transactions and mis-representations galore. Somehow, Steve managed to keep us on the right path, help define the appropriate positions for the Company, soothe investor tensions and most importantly help us get it across the finish line. I still have business in Las Vegas, and Steve is the only attorney I use. If we need to bring in other counsel, it is only at his referral. Hire him, you will be pleased
