Hired Law Firm

My daughter and I made a wonderful decision choosing Ms. Rattigan as our legal counsel in both a civil lawsuit and a probate case. She was extremely responsive and compassionate, and she never stopped fighting for us. She helped us get what we feel was the best possible outcome for both proceedings, and she was always conscientious and understanding when it came to fees. We would highly recommend her services.

Hired Attorney Steven M. Zelman

Steven was most enjoyable to work with. His professionalism, knowledge, compassion, and guidance are second to none. He always answered my questions and offered his opinion in an expeditious manner. I would feel very comfortable utilizing Steven for additional needs that I may have and would recommend him to my friends.

Hired Attorney Steven M. Zelman

I met Steven Zelman totally by accident, when a woman on line ahead of me told me that he was a probate judge. I wound up introducing myself and working with him to redo my will and other important documents. Found him easy to talk to, responsive and helpful. I've already recommended him to two other friends who mentioned that they need an attorney. I will continue to recommend him.

Hired Attorney Steven M. Zelman

Steve is very professional and thorough. We hired him to assist us in updating our wills and additional estate planning documents. He met with us a several times to completely understand our curtain situation and to address our issues and concerns. Wat hen the documents were completed, he walked us through everything, to make sure we fully understood what we were signing and what the different options were with some of the documents. We would whole heartedly recommend Steven to somebody looking for an attorney.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
