The best part of my job is helping people. 
"The legal process can be intimidating and complicated and I like being able to walk people through their case step-by-step until the very end. When I accept a client, they know I care about them and what is important to them. And that I’m going to use all of my experience, passion, and skills to do the right things the right way to help them make smart decisions.”

Your Neighbor
Steve, a native Charlestonian whose families settled here generations ago, has fully lived the Lowcountry life. He attended local schools. Through mischief, he was introduced at an early age to plough mud and marsh. He's ridden across our waves, screamed across the swells in a catamaran, and hunted the fields. He's settled back in the church he grew up in, where he is active. According to his immediate family, he's written the greatest novel never to be published, and also gave up a career composing whimsical country songs, all for the practice of law. A recovering triathlete, Steve is a voracious reader of fiction written by Italian authors, as well as historical writings about the Romans, and food books on genuinely authentic Italian recipes.
