Steven E. Nurenberg brings more than 25 years of experience, integrity, and a breadth of legal knowledge to every case he handles. His analytical skills afford him the ability to recognize an approach or perspective that may not have been considered, and to view an issue from all sides.

Steve builds relationships with his clients who come to trust and rely upon his incisive legal advice. He values these relationships by keeping his clients informed and allowing them to make decisions concerning what is of upmost importance to them, as the matter proceeds through legal channels or negotiations.

The lure of a warmer climate attracted Steve, his wife, Jan, and son, Jared, to Southwest Florida in July, 2006. As northern transplants, they enjoy the amenities Florida has to offer, including golf, fishing and spending time at the beach. Steve and his family are active members of their church and serve in different capacities on several of its committees.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
