Working with this lawyer was so easy for me . They guided me along the way about my case and helped me understand the type of case I had and what to expect. They were very knowledgeable about the type of case I had . I would recommend them to anyone needing a lawyer. I’m thankful for the opportunity to have had them working for me.

Mr Steven Ford has been an amazing attorny for my mom's situation from beginning to end. Him and his staff has a beautiful, welcoming demeanor, character and environment. Mr Ford made this process worry-free. This was a great experience for us because we were litrrally able to relax and not only trust THE peocess, but trust him. He was super thorough, understanding, patient, very kind, provide understanding clarity and veey professional. His experience speaks for itself. He can definitely be counted on to provide the knowledge, skills, and wisdom he has, with know haggling or fast talking on his end. He welcomed me in as a part of my mom's process and ensured I was informed and in the know just as much as my mom was. Keep doing what you do to help people like us. Your work truly speaks for itself and is much appreciated. It was done with so much determination and compassion. He made this process smooth. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Mr. Steve Ford, Is the best worker comp. Attorney in the state of Alabama. Not just by my own opinion,but from all the other attorneys I inquired from. I had a very unusual case,with several companies involved. Not only did he check on me,and make sure I was getting the medical attention I needed. But assured me he and his team were going to take care of me till the end! Which they did with a favorable decision! If you need the best team on your side. Go with attorney Mr .Ford, I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

We had a lawyer who had been doing nothing for us. We were referred to Steve Ford by a co worker of Tommy's. This was a workmans comp case and Tommy had been dealing with surgeries and back to work and more surgeries every time. He was only getting worse and no end in sight. We met with Steve and he explained everything to us in a way that we could understand, as we knew nothing about these type of cases. We hired him and he was constantly calling to check on Tommy and keeping us informed about each step. We were able to get a satisfactory settlement after 4 years of nothing with our other lawyer. It took him less than a year and that included another surgery. I would and have recommended him to other people. If you need someone to get the job done, go see Steve!
