Steve is my warrior. He helped me though everything. He kept me informed, gave me wonderful advice, and he fought hard for me. He was my security for five plus years. He made me laugh when I was worried and he celebrated with me when it was all over. I recommend him to anyone and everyone.

This was not your ordinary case. It spanned five plus years of both POA and PR activities with history reaching back to the early 1990s. Mr. Dluzneski handled every aspect with professionalism and empathy. I would highly recommend his services to anyone needing help. He is a strategic thinker with the knowledge and experience to serve you well. He went above and beyond normal legal services, even sending and responding to email on weekends. I will use his services in the future should a need arise.

I wish I could give Steve ten stars. This was a long, protracted case, and he handled it with kindness and patience, both in legal matters, and in handling family emotions and our many of moments of impatience. He was invaluable in helping us to understand the way through a complicated legal tangle. We won. HE won. I am forever grateful.

Steve Dluzneski was referred to me from another attorney who could not handle my case due to the nature of the case. Steve had experience in my situation and was very thorough when he explained the law surrounding my case. He was honest with his billing, provided amazing communication and always had answers when I had questions. I felt at ease through the whole process and was never worried about not getting the outcome Steve said we could achieve. I highly suggest Steve and his firm to represent anyone needing legal assistance. I plan to use Steve and his firm again if the need presents itself. Well worth every dime spent!

Steve took on a challenging case in probate court and got the best possible result for us. He stayed on top of things and kept us informed throughout the process. We would hire him again without hesitation.

Steve was excellent. From the moment I met him, I felt very much at ease and trusted him completely. He explained things in language that I could understand and took the time to explain legal terms. We were able to settle the case which was not the case with a previous lawyer. I recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer.

Working with this lawyer was a great experience. I learned so much about Guardianship and Conservatorship. He helped me win our case after a very long process! I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs a lawyer.

I was executor of my brother’s estate who lived in South Carolina. His estate attorney hired Steve to handle the real estate matter. The estate attorney died shortly thereafter. I decided to hire Steve as he was well respected by the estate attorney. Steve has always been very professional and courteous. Since I live in Illinois we communicated by phone and text. He always responded to me in a timely fashion. We had a few snags along the way with the estate, trust and real estate matters but Steve navigated through them all efficiently and professionally. Steve always kept me in the loop about what was going on and why. I would hire him again in a minute. My only regret was I didn’t get to meet him personally.

After being served unexpectedly and frantically speaking with some of the top lawyers in SC, we knew Steve would be our very best option. He was extremely straight forward and honest in explaining all the details of our case to find the best outcome and does not waste time just to run up the bill! We felt confident during the entirety of our case with Steve by our side. While I pray we will never be in that situation again, we would 100% hire Steve again for any matter and will be recommending everyone to him in the future. Five stars, plus some!
