That background is why he reads accident scenes, police reports, and expert reports the way an engineer would.
How he practices
Stephen's legal career is focused primarily on personal injury cases, admiralty and maritime law, divorce and child custody, and expungements.
Over the years he has handled a wide range of cases, from motor vehicle accidents where clients suffered serious injuries requiring surgery, to cases under the Post-Separation Family Violence Relief Act, where he has advocated for women's rights in custody of minor children after physical abuse. He is also a staunch advocate of fathers' rights in child custody and pursues equal custody time for fathers.
Fierce on the facts
