We worked with Todd Stevenson on a long & complex probate case involving real property and conservatorship. He was very knowledgeable in all aspects of this area of law, and was very involved in attending multiple mediations & conferences for our case. He was always very reponsive to our calls and gave us his opinions and good advice. He would set up conference calls with us when we requested time to discuss issues that came up. When we went to trial, he was always prepared and handled the witnesses on the stand very professionally. We won our case in having the conservator removed, and another conservator appointed for my mother. He made sure to protect our interest in a real property under dispute while all the issues were pending. We were very happy with the outcome and so glad we hired Mr. Stevenson to help us.

Having a lawsuit against you can be a very scary and confusing situation! There is a lot of legal documentation involved that can be very overwhelming to a regular person without a law degree. Reading and understanding the terminology can leave you perplexed. Determining that taking on my case alone would be not only difficult but also scary, I decided to seek legal counsel. There are so many legal teams to choose from and they each specialize in different areas. Finding the right fit for my case was difficult. A lot of law firms don’t want to take on cases that might be difficult to deal with or even considered a losing cause. I searched for counsel and kept getting rejected! I was feeling lost and disconcerted until I made the right call to Stevenson Law Office. They took the time to listen to my case, understand my concerns and take action. Lori and Todd decided to take on my case! They understood the complexity of all the documentation and knew that it would be a huge burden if I tried to take on the paperwork alone. They offered to stand by me and guide me in the right direction, they took care of all the legal paperwork and offered me advice and most importantly, peace of mind!! Stevenson Law Office was there for me when a lot of others refused to even hear me out. In my experience, they were there every step of the way, they were diligent with their work and they proved that they had me in their best interest and made my case a priority.

The most physically, psychologically and emotionally draining experience of my life was launched by the disloyal actions of the trustee of my mother’s estate. I had never dealt with the legal system before, and the learning curve was steep for me; starting with the search to find the right lawyer - one who, ideally, would be highly competent, well regarded, and a genuinely caring individual, with fees that wouldn’t drain away all efforts at achieving a fair outcome in line with my mother’s intentions. My search for the right lawyer took 3 long and frustrating months. I asked everyone I knew for recommendations, and during that search I spoke with at least 15 lawyers before a highly respected lawyer (one who does not take cases like mine), referred me to Todd Stevenson. In our very first conversation, Todd’s manner conveyed a solid balance of compassion, clear communication skills and a quick-minded orientation towards realistic solutions. I had heard that the process would take far longer than one would hope, but I could not have predicted what the impact of immersion into the minutiae of the case and the long periods of waiting would have on me. Until I got into the “rhythm” of the process, I became more and more irritable, and less and less appreciative of what Todd and his team were organizing. Todd remained a gentleman throughout that chapter, which, fortunately for all of us, was not more than a couple of months. After that, I started doing research around the full range of elements related to my case, in order to gain a sense of agency / to feel more like a partner in the process of repairing the damage done by the trustee. From then on, our working relationship steadily grew in mutual respect. Working with Rebecca Carlson, Todd’s Senior Associate, was a privilege. She cares. She’s real. She knows her stuff, and her explanations are crystal clear. Rebecca will forever have my truest regard and deepest appreciation. Other people on Todd’s team with whom I worked - Robin, Nelva and Alan - were all gems. Over the 2 years that I engaged the services of Stevenson Law Office it became abundantly clear that these people like where they work and the people they work with. The office culture consistently came across as positive, genuinely courteous and very, very well-coordinated. Todd doesn’t come across as a ‘shark-y’ kind of lawyer, but his gentlemanly manner belies his incisive, big picture intelligence. Choosing a lawyer was an intimidating and painfully stressful process for me. Fortunately, I found the right one. (My mother would have approved!!!)

I agree with the other 5 star reviews. Todd Stevenson literally saved our family's wealth by stopping financial elder abuse of my aging father. Todd Stevenson is a complete professional, knows the law and the strategies to protect "your" (my) assets at a reasonable cost. I have used his services for several years and have never been anything but completely satisfied with the outcome and this includes fair billing practices. I also live in the bay area and the geography makes no difference because he is an expert in his field. You are safe with his firm and he will fight vigorously for your protection and your rights.

The most physically, psychologically and emotionally draining experience of my life was launched by the disloyal actions of the trustee of my mother’s estate. I had never dealt with the legal system before, and the learning curve was steep for me; starting with the search to find the right lawyer - one who, ideally, would be highly competent, well regarded, and a genuinely caring individual, with fees that wouldn’t drain away all efforts at achieving a fair outcome in line with my mother’s intentions. My search for the right lawyer took 3 long and frustrating months. I asked everyone I knew for recommendations, and during that search I spoke with at least 15 lawyers before a highly respected lawyer (one who does not take cases like mine), referred me to Todd Stevenson. In our very first conversation, Todd’s manner conveyed a solid balance of compassion, clear communication skills and a quick-minded orientation towards realistic solutions. I had heard that the process would take far longer than one would hope, but I could not have predicted what the impact of immersion into the minutiae of the case and the long periods of waiting would have on me. Until I got into the “rhythm” of the process, I became more and more irritable, and less and less appreciative of what Todd and his team were organizing. Todd remained a gentleman throughout that chapter, which, fortunately for all of us, was not more than a couple of months. After that, I started doing research around the full range of elements related to my case, in order to gain a sense of agency / to feel more like a partner in the process of repairing the damage done by the trustee. From then on, our working relationship steadily grew in mutual respect. Working with Rebecca Carlson, Todd’s Senior Associate, was a privilege. She cares. She’s real. She knows her stuff, and her explanations are crystal clear. Rebecca will forever have my truest regard and deepest appreciation. Other people on Todd’s team with whom I worked - Robin, Nelva and Alan - were all gems. Over the 2 years that I engaged the services of Stevenson Law Office it became abundantly clear that these people like where they work and the people they work with. The office culture consistently came across as positive, genuinely courteous and very, very well-coordinated. Todd doesn’t come across as a ‘shark-y’ kind of lawyer, but his gentlemanly manner belies his incisive, big picture intelligence. Choosing a lawyer was an intimidating and painfully stressful process for me. Fortunately, I found the right one. (My mother would have approved!!!)

I agree with the other 5 star reviews. Todd Stevenson literally saved our family's wealth by stopping financial elder abuse of my aging father. Todd Stevenson is a complete professional, knows the law and the strategies to protect "your" (my) assets at a reasonable cost. I have used his services for several years and have never been anything but completely satisfied with the outcome and this includes fair billing practices. I also live in the bay area and the geography makes no difference because he is an expert in his field. You are safe with his firm and he will fight vigorously for your protection and your rights.

We worked with Todd Stevenson on a long & complex probate case involving real property and conservatorship. He was very knowledgeable in all aspects of this area of law, and was very involved in attending multiple mediations & conferences for our case. He was always very reponsive to our calls and gave us his opinions and good advice. He would set up conference calls with us when we requested time to discuss issues that came up. When we went to trial, he was always prepared and handled the witnesses on the stand very professionally. We won our case in having the conservator removed, and another conservator appointed for my mother. He made sure to protect our interest in a real property under dispute while all the issues were pending. We were very happy with the outcome and so glad we hired Mr. Stevenson to help us.

Having a lawsuit against you can be a very scary and confusing situation! There is a lot of legal documentation involved that can be very overwhelming to a regular person without a law degree. Reading and understanding the terminology can leave you perplexed. Determining that taking on my case alone would be not only difficult but also scary, I decided to seek legal counsel. There are so many legal teams to choose from and they each specialize in different areas. Finding the right fit for my case was difficult. A lot of law firms don’t want to take on cases that might be difficult to deal with or even considered a losing cause. I searched for counsel and kept getting rejected! I was feeling lost and disconcerted until I made the right call to Stevenson Law Office. They took the time to listen to my case, understand my concerns and take action. Lori and Todd decided to take on my case! They understood the complexity of all the documentation and knew that it would be a huge burden if I tried to take on the paperwork alone. They offered to stand by me and guide me in the right direction, they took care of all the legal paperwork and offered me advice and most importantly, peace of mind!! Stevenson Law Office was there for me when a lot of others refused to even hear me out. In my experience, they were there every step of the way, they were diligent with their work and they proved that they had me in their best interest and made my case a priority.

He was very knowledgeable in all aspects of this area of law, and was very involved in attending multiple mediations & conferences for our case. He was always very reponsive to our calls and gave us his opinions and good advice. He would set up conference calls with us when we requested time to discuss issues that came up. When we went to trial, he was always prepared and handled the witnesses on the stand very professionally. We won our case in having the conservator removed, and another conservator appointed for my mother. He made sure to protect our interest in a real property under dispute while all the issues were pending. We were very happy with the outcome and so glad we hired Mr. Stevenson to help us.

Having a lawsuit against you can be a very scary and confusing situation! There is a lot of legal documentation involved that can be very overwhelming to a regular person without a law degree. Reading and understanding the terminology can leave you perplexed. Determining that taking on my case alone would be not only difficult but also scary, I decided to seek legal counsel. There are so many legal teams to choose from and they each specialize in different areas. Finding the right fit for my case was difficult. A lot of law firms don’t want to take on cases that might be difficult to deal with or even considered a losing cause. I searched for counsel and kept getting rejected! I was feeling lost and disconcerted until I made the right call to Stevenson Law Office. They took the time to listen to my case, understand my concerns and take action. Lori and Todd decided to take on my case! They understood the complexity of all the documentation and knew that it would be a huge burden if I tried to take on the paperwork alone. They offered to stand by me and guide me in the right direction, they took care of all the legal paperwork and offered me advice and most importantly, peace of mind!! Stevenson Law Office was there for me when a lot of others refused to even hear me out. In my experience, they were there every step of the way, they were diligent with their work and they proved that they had me in their best interest and made my case a priority.

The most physically, psychologically and emotionally draining experience of my life was launched by the disloyal actions of the trustee of my mother’s estate. I had never dealt with the legal system before, and the learning curve was steep for me; starting with the search to find the right lawyer - one who, ideally, would be highly competent, well regarded, and a genuinely caring individual, with fees that wouldn’t drain away all efforts at achieving a fair outcome in line with my mother’s intentions. My search for the right lawyer took 3 long and frustrating months. I asked everyone I knew for recommendations, and during that search I spoke with at least 15 lawyers before a highly respected lawyer (one who does not take cases like mine), referred me to Todd Stevenson. In our very first conversation, Todd’s manner conveyed a solid balance of compassion, clear communication skills and a quick-minded orientation towards realistic solutions. I had heard that the process would take far longer than one would hope, but I could not have predicted what the impact of immersion into the minutiae of the case and the long periods of waiting would have on me. Until I got into the “rhythm” of the process, I became more and more irritable, and less and less appreciative of what Todd and his team were organizing. Todd remained a gentleman throughout that chapter, which, fortunately for all of us, was not more than a couple of months. After that, I started doing research around the full range of elements related to my case, in order to gain a sense of agency / to feel more like a partner in the process of repairing the damage done by the trustee. From then on, our working relationship steadily grew in mutual respect. Working with Rebecca Carlson, Todd’s Senior Associate, was a privilege. She cares. She’s real. She knows her stuff, and her explanations are crystal clear. Rebecca will forever have my truest regard and deepest appreciation. Other people on Todd’s team with whom I worked - Robin, Nelva and Alan - were all gems. Over the 2 years that I engaged the services of Stevenson Law Office it became abundantly clear that these people like where they work and the people they work with. The office culture consistently came across as positive, genuinely courteous and very, very well-coordinated. Todd doesn’t come across as a ‘shark-y’ kind of lawyer, but his gentlemanly manner belies his incisive, big picture intelligence. Choosing a lawyer was an intimidating and painfully stressful process for me. Fortunately, I found the right one. (My mother would have approved!!!)

I agree with the other 5 star reviews. Todd Stevenson literally saved our family's wealth by stopping financial elder abuse of my aging father. Todd Stevenson is a complete professional, knows the law and the strategies to protect "your" (my) assets at a reasonable cost. I have used his services for several years and have never been anything but completely satisfied with the outcome and this includes fair billing practices. I also live in the bay area and the geography makes no difference because he is an expert in his field. You are safe with his firm and he will fight vigorously for your protection and your rights.

I had heard that the process would take far longer than one would hope, but I could not have predicted what the impact of immersion into the minutiae of the case and the long periods of waiting would have on me. Until I got into the “rhythm” of the process, I became more and more irritable, and less and less appreciative of what Todd and his team were organizing. Todd remained a gentleman throughout that chapter, which, fortunately for all of us, was not more than a couple of months. After that, I started doing research around the full range of elements related to my case, in order to gain a sense of agency / to feel more like a partner in the process of repairing the damage done by the trustee. From then on, our working relationship steadily grew in mutual respect. Working with Rebecca Carlson, Todd’s Senior Associate, was a privilege. She cares. She’s real. She knows her stuff, and her explanations are crystal clear. Rebecca will forever have my truest regard and deepest appreciation. Other people on Todd’s team with whom I worked - Robin, Nelva and Alan - were all gems. Over the 2 years that I engaged the services of Stevenson Law Office it became abundantly clear that these people like where they work and the people they work with. The office culture consistently came across as positive, genuinely courteous and very, very well-coordinated. Todd doesn’t come across as a ‘shark-y’ kind of lawyer, but his gentlemanly manner belies his incisive, big picture intelligence. Choosing a lawyer was an intimidating and painfully stressful process for me. Fortunately, I found the right one. (My mother would have approved!!!)

I agree with the other 5 star reviews. Todd Stevenson literally saved our family's wealth by stopping financial elder abuse of my aging father. Todd Stevenson is a complete professional, knows the law and the strategies to protect "your" (my) assets at a reasonable cost. I have used his services for several years and have never been anything but completely satisfied with the outcome and this includes fair billing practices. I also live in the bay area and the geography makes no difference because he is an expert in his field. You are safe with his firm and he will fight vigorously for your protection and your rights.
