Skilled Litigator, Minor Communication Lag

I hired Stephen M. Halbeisen to handle a complex insurance dispute involving a commercial property claim. His deep expertise in insurance law and construction litigation was immediately apparent. He navigated the case with precision, leveraging his 35 years of experience to secure a favorable settlement. While his legal acumen is top-tier, I found his response times slightly inconsistent. The billing was transparent, though I wished he provided clearer cost estimates upfront. Overall, his recognized skills in commercial litigation (as noted by Best Lawyers) made him a valuable asset to my case.

Stephen’s recognition by Best Lawyers in Construction and Insurance Law gave me confidence from the start. He was thorough in reviewing all contracts, subcontractor agreements, and insurance policies, identifying critical details that strengthened our position.
