Ethical Lawyers of America Awarded to attorneys with a distinguished record of ethical practice. “While I don’t think honors and awards should be the only criteria in selecting an attorney, I do appreciate the various accolades I’ve received that provide validation that I provide excellent, honorable and ethical representation to those in need of help.” A Foundation of Hard Work and Integrity Steven’s drive to fight for the underdog comes from his working-class background. Taught the values of honesty, integrity, and a relentless work ethic by his parents, he paid his own way through college and law school by waiting tables, working in factories, and doing door-to-door sales. This experience instilled in him the diligence and perseverance that define his approach to every case. After graduating with honors from Florida State University, he completed his law degree in less than three years and immediately began representing ordinary people. In 1999, he founded his own practice, taking on the tough cases others were afraid to tackle and quickly building a reputation as a tenacious and effective trial attorney.
