WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:03.160 I've worked with Steven probably a little over seven years. 00:03.160 --> 00:07.240 First hand, hand on hand, call, email, text, whatever I needed to do. 00:07.240 --> 00:08.460 Seven years strong. 00:08.460 --> 00:09.980 He's very hands on. 00:09.980 --> 00:11.600 If I ask for something, it's immediate. 00:11.600 --> 00:13.880 I don't have to wait two or three weeks, four weeks. 00:13.880 --> 00:19.480 I mean, he is very prompt with anything that he is working on for us or with us. 00:19.480 --> 00:22.000 Any ideas, I go to him, hey, what do you think about this? 00:22.000 --> 00:22.880 What do you think about that? 00:22.880 --> 00:23.840 And he's very hands on. 00:23.840 --> 00:25.920 Well, let's look at it this way. 00:25.920 --> 00:30.180 It gives me the plus, the negative, you know, all of it. 00:30.180 --> 00:36.580 One day I woke up and heard some trucks in the backyard, went out back and realized that 00:36.580 --> 00:42.280 they were digging too close to our property and knew immediately that we were about to 00:42.280 --> 00:43.620 have a big problem. 00:43.620 --> 00:45.800 We had enormous trees back there. 00:45.800 --> 00:50.360 I mean, just some of the biggest trees outside of the redwoods that I'd ever seen were now 00:50.360 --> 00:52.080 severely damaged. 00:52.080 --> 00:55.500 And I really didn't know who to call or what to do. 00:55.500 --> 01:00.820 So I called some friends and a friend of mine referred me to Steven Lefkoff. 01:00.820 --> 01:07.240 He really took some of the fear that I initially had away and allowed me to get back to my day 01:07.240 --> 01:12.140 to day and not worry about a lawsuit that sometimes can be crippling. 01:12.140 --> 01:14.840 And I would tell you, you know, was initially. 01:14.840 --> 01:16.740 We were fighting with a developer. 01:16.740 --> 01:23.320 And after we came to our resolution, we had another issue because they did not hold up 01:23.320 --> 01:24.480 to their behalf. 01:24.480 --> 01:29.480 And so, again, all of that fear and concern of what was going to happen came back. 01:29.480 --> 01:31.160 And all I had to do was pick up the phone. 01:31.160 --> 01:37.160 And Steven was there to listen and help ensure me that everything was going to be OK. 01:37.160 --> 01:40.480 As he promised, it really it really all happened and played out. 01:40.480 --> 01:45.200 And he was there the whole time making sure that my family was going to be OK and making 01:45.200 --> 01:48.400 sure that, you know, I stayed calm throughout the whole situation. 01:48.400 --> 01:52.440 I would say Steven's number one quality is he's very, very down to earth. 01:52.440 --> 01:54.440 He's easy to talk to. 01:54.440 --> 01:56.360 You'll get a laugh out of him. 01:56.360 --> 01:58.880 He works around your schedule. 01:58.880 --> 02:00.220 He's just such a great guy. 02:00.220 --> 02:01.580 He's funny. 02:01.580 --> 02:03.300 He's personable. 02:03.300 --> 02:06.420 He's not stuffy like some of the attorneys that you see. 02:06.420 --> 02:07.800 He's just a joy to be around. 02:07.800 --> 02:10.120 He's so trustworthy. 02:10.120 --> 02:15.800 Like I never once thought that he was not after my best interests and I never once didn't 02:15.800 --> 02:16.800 trust him. 02:16.800 --> 02:20.240 I knew that he would get us the outcome we needed. 02:20.240 --> 02:23.940 I've known Steven for a long time and in all the time I've known him, he's always been 02:23.940 --> 02:26.940 honest, hardworking and personable. 02:26.940 --> 02:30.340 I've referred him to business in the past and the clients I've referred to him have always 02:30.340 --> 02:32.720 come back and said how great a job he did for them. 02:32.720 --> 02:37.200 I've even sat in with him on consultations and the clients that we would jointly represent 02:37.200 --> 02:42.040 on a business litigation side and a personal injury side, I would listen to how Steven dealt 02:42.040 --> 02:46.760 with the clients and always impressed me that he had such a good relationship with the 02:46.760 --> 02:47.760 clients. 02:47.760 --> 02:50.200 And the advice he gave was just as good as the relationship he had with them. 02:50.200 --> 02:54.900 So it is without hesitation I can sit here and endorse him for the type of lawyer I think 02:54.900 --> 02:55.900 he is. 02:55.900 --> 03:01.340 So I have a broad civil litigation practice and what that means is I help individuals and 03:01.340 --> 03:04.040 businesses resolve their disputes. 03:04.040 --> 03:10.340 Whether that's from as simple as a demand letter or response to a letter to full blown superior 03:10.340 --> 03:12.340 court or federal court litigation. 03:12.340 --> 03:20.720 I really love clients that want information, that seek out information, that come to me because 03:20.720 --> 03:26.340 they've read about their case, about how to handle their case because I can assist them. 03:26.340 --> 03:27.340 Right? 03:27.340 --> 03:33.340 It builds that relationship when I can help bring them to the finish line that they already know 03:33.340 --> 03:34.340 exists. 03:34.340 --> 03:36.340 They just need that push to get there. 03:36.340 --> 03:40.800 It's empowering those clients that really drives me. 03:40.800 --> 03:45.120 This is not the kind of law firm where we only take one type of case. 03:45.120 --> 03:48.720 You have to have X in order for us to take your case. 03:48.720 --> 03:53.680 You have to be in a 20 story marble floor tower for us to take your case. 03:53.680 --> 03:56.720 Or you have to be the neighbor next door for us to take your case. 03:56.720 --> 03:59.760 That's not how we operate at this law firm. 03:59.760 --> 04:01.280 Our clients run the gamut. 04:01.280 --> 04:03.360 The cases run the gamut. 04:03.360 --> 04:08.980 And because of that, we're really able to develop relationships with a whole host of different 04:08.980 --> 04:10.320 members of our community. 04:10.320 --> 04:13.000 Which is, again, that's what it's all about.
