      "Highly Recommend"
      I have had the good fortune of having Steven provide me with legal counsel throughout some very difficult legal circumstances. Not only is he an exceptional attorney, but he is a truly exceptional person. His steadfast guidance and support has helped me get through one of the most difficult years of my life. I have full confidence in his ability to defend my rights, and ensure I’m given the just opportunity I deserve. Steven and his team are exactly who you want in your corner should you ever find yourself in the unfortunate position of being caught up in our legal system. I believe there are people who go into this line of work for the paycheck, and then I believe there are people who do it in pursuit of justice and equity; Steven is the latter and I count my blessings everyday that I can count on him to help me navigate a very challenging legal situation. I strongly recommend Steven should you find yourself in need of legal services. You will not find a more compassionate and professional attorney.

      "They were always available quickly, to address my concerns. Having dealt with some law firms before, I really appreciated this."
      Steven Raiser's law firm handled my case with excellence throughout the process. I had a SBA EIDL loan that got transferred to the Department of Treasury unexpectedly, and had a 30% penalty added to the amount due, and due very quickly, which was very stressful. After talking with Steven Raiser, and working with Harry Gill, who was absolutely brilliant in working with me and preparing the case, they were able to recall the case to the SBA. They were always available quickly, to address my concerns. Having dealt with some law firms before, I really appreciated this.
      Very grateful and appreciative to Steven Raiser and Harry Gill. Great work
