I could not have been so successful in my personal injury case without Steven's expertise, guidance, and generous support. Steven held my hand every step of the way through my complicated case, and guided me with patience, thoughtfulness, and confidence. Not only did Steven help me win my case, but he helped me reach a settlement amount much higher than I had dreamed of. He was always available by phone or email to answer my questions, and explained complicated legal terms in simple, easy to understand language. I have the highest regards for Steven and I could not recommend him more highly!

Do you want an advocate that goes above and beyond for your case? Hire Steven Chizen!! Recently, Steven assisted me with my complex legal matter, and I cannot express my gratitude enough for his exceptional work on my case. In our first conversation, I knew Steven was the perfect attorney for my case – his professionalism and compassion made me very comfortable working with him. Steven went above and beyond as my attorney, truly taking the time to listen to my story and extending heartfelt support that went beyond his legal role.

I was incredibly impressed with his deep knowledge of the law and ability to navigate even the most intricate legal issue with little precedent. Even though my case was unique, Steven’s ability to find cases to support my position blew my mind away. Steven’s exceptional research skill is one of the main reasons I had a favorable outcome in my case.

Beyond Steven’s research skills, he also has remarkable communication skills. He could explain complex legal jargon in a manner that was easy to comprehend, ensuring I fully understood the implications of each decision. I was even more pleased with his ability to negotiate my case. During my mediation, Steven knew how to emphasize the important facts of my case to the mediator, so she fully understands the value of my case. He was attentive and constantly kept me in the loop throughout the mediation. Most importantly, he also comforted me as he knew how tough it was for me to sit through the mediation and share parts of my story. Throughout the process, Steven kept me informed and updated, promptly addressing any questions or concerns I had, which greatly reduced my stress levels.

I strongly endorse Steven and recommend him to anyone seeking legal representation. Steven is an incredible attorney that you can rely on with complete confidence. Thank you, Steven, for all your support!

Steven is the best lawyer I've worked with: He's sharp, compassionate, and organized. Steven helped me with a case in early 2019. I had been in a car accident while a passenger using a major ride hailing app that I cannot name. Steven got me through the situation, handled everything so I could focus on my physical health, and negotiated a favorable settlement. Fortunately I haven't needed his services since then, but he's the first person I would call.

I have gone to Steven seeking legal advice on a number of occasions, and he has always gone above and beyond! He helped me understand my rights and options when my car was improperly towed, and with his recommendations, I was able to get a newspaper to stop delivering to my house. I had been calling the newspaper for nearly a year asking them to stop delivery with no success, but as soon as I involved Steven, the deliveries stopped immediately! He listened to my situation, talked me through my options, and gave me thorough and clear advice that worked. I would recommend him to anybody in need of a hard-working, creative, and thoughtful lawyer!

I had a very positive experience working with Mr. Chizen on an employment case.

Mr. Chizen took great care in understanding the issue, documenting the facts, explaining the process, and crafting the necessary documentation for a strong first response.

Mr. Chizen brought a very calming and trusting demeanor that made me feel very comfortable working with him. He showed up as someone who genuinely cares about helping people and became a trusted advisor throughout the legal process. He was always available and easy to get a hold of, handled the legal due-diligence effectively, and leaned on his experience to reach an amicable agreement through mediation, which helped me avoid a lengthy jury trial.

When it came to compensation, Mr. Chizen’s legal fees were fair and transparent and he made sure that I am aware and comfortable with all the legal costs required to complete the process.

I highly recommend Mr. Chizen and trust that he will continue to provide excellent legal services!

I was most impressed with his continual efforts to always maintain active communication. I was never left questioning or doubting, and he always got right back to me via email or on the phone. He also showed me that he was experienced and could hold his own in his respective areas of legal expertise that concerned me. I would highly recommend Steven, and I would use his services again in any applicable future legal matters.
