Law Office of Steven L. Fritsch

I waited too long to review Steve. Steve has been assisting me for a few years now and he’s never let me down nor misled me in any way. He has always given me direct, honest answers. I highly recommend Steve for any and all attorney matters. Big or small

I am very thankful for Steve and Amy, and for my friends who referred me to him. Steve helped correct both my child and spousal support with my ex, as I have been supporting her live in boyfriend who is a lawyer for 4+ years and his daughter for 1+ year. Steve didn’t waste time, didn’t try to stir up emotions to get me to make illogical decisions (other attorneys tried this with me, I think to try and make me fight more, which wastes time). Steve recommended I try to work with my ex out of court (she refused), he tried to settle with her and her boyfriend at the courthouse (they refused), he exposed her and her live in boyfriend’s lies to the judge, and in the end it was his detailed understanding of family law, his knowledge of the details in my case being able to pull the right facts out at the right times to the judge, and his communication under pressure to the judge that swayed the judge to rule in my favor. I now feel that the judicial system can work, and I have restored faith in Karma. Thanks Steve!

Steve is more than easy to talk to. He is honest and good at what he does. He has a no nonsense type approach. He tells you the truth and what you need to hear. He helped me deal with one of the hardest things I had to deal with in my life. There are so many people and especially attorneys that mislead and lie to you but I can honestly say Steve is not that guy. I would refer Steve to any friends, family, or anyone looking for a divorce attorney. Thanks Steve, for being there when I needed you and doing such a good job.

Steve may be easy to talk to but doesnt have the instinct or applicable knowledge to get the job done in family court. Steve’s focus was trying to create more hearings and chaos so that the bill would increase substantially every month. Eventually my ex and I, against Steve’s advice, resolved the issues ourselves and drew up our own agreement. Even though I did all the negotiations and completed the paperwork and the docs, I was still charged over $ 15 000. On top of that Steve misfiled the documents so that the orders were not enforceable, later costing me another $ 3000. Steve smiles an aweful lot it must be all those family Hawaii trips he takes at the cost of overcharging his clients.

He didn’t do all he could do, he barely did ½ of what he could do. In the end we ended up paying him about $ 5k. My husbands ex wife $ 20k when this all could have been avoided if he had let us know that his son could have been taken into the court mediation (he was 13 at the time). He misinformed us and did not seem to have a whole lot of knowledge of the practice or anything. This should have been a simple, open and shut, custody case over a 13 year old. He said that himself in the beginning until he tried to drag it on and on to get more and more money for each time he appeared in court. This could have been handled in one or two court sessions, instead he relished in the fact that he could keep dragging it out and he was so happy to get contingencies. He was not helpful what-​so-​ever through the whole ordeal. He seemed to have no interest in me, my husband, my stepson, my family or our case. I would never recommend him to anyone.

Yes he was easy to talk to and my divorce is complete. HOWEVER, he explained to me if everything is amicable and we didn’t need to redraft and make additional changes then most fee’s would be covered by the retainer fee. My divorce was simple, and VERY amicable and we didn’t need to make any changes and I got a bill for an additional $ 1,377!!! Don’t let him under estimate his fee’s! I read over the detailed bill (which took months of requesting it) and he should have NEVER given me the estimate he did when the basic fee’s for his services was $ 1377 ABOVE! That’s a bit ridiculous to be over charged that much more than an initial estimate. I wouldn’t recommend Steven without the understanding you may be charged more than he tells you even if amicable and basic.

Great guy, easy to talk with and he was very honest. He did not waste my time which was one of my fears. He has a solid understanding of Family Law and the local court system which I felt was very beneficial. It’s hard to find someone to trust handling your family affairs and I’m glad I was referred to Steven.
