"I called an old high school friend of mine who was a local attorney. He recommended I call Steve Bell. From that first time I talked to him on the phone, I felt confident that my best interest was being served. Of course, my emotions at the time were in turmoil but Steve’s reassurance after hearing my story put my mind at ease. One of his reoccurring statements to me during this whole ordeal was, “OK, Bob, here is what we’re going to do.” When someone tells me that in the manner in which he did, it instills a sense of relief and lowers your anxiety level. Steve is very good at that. The entire staff made me feel as though I was their number one concern. He never let me think I was out there by myself. One more incident is worth mentioning. Steve and I were coming down the escalator at the St. Louis County Courts building after one of the four or five sessions he had with my ex-spouse, her lawyer and the judge. Some gentleman called out Steve’s name. He came over to us and Steve introduced him to me as one of his previous clients. The man looked at me and said, “You got the best.” I had told Steve that every time we had finished with an office visit or at a scheduled court session, I always felt that I had the best representation possible. That gentleman’s remark more than explains why I feel that way. I would recommend Steve and his law firm very highly to anyone who is in need of legal counsel. He is a great attorney and what we call here in the mid-west as good people."

"Trust: As a single mother it was the most important attribute for me when choosing an attorney. I needed to trust that the person would fight to ensure the best results in court not only for myself but more importantly for my children. With Steve it is always personal, one to one counsel. I always knew that my case was a priority even though I know it was not by far his biggest. Whenever I had a question or concern, Steve was always available. He sincerely listened to my wishes, but unlike many lawyers, Steve would keep our interactions timely and concise in order to save me money, which I had expressed to him was a major concern. He knows the court system and has the knowledge and experience that is invaluable. He also has the respect of other attorneys and judges that he deals with on a daily basis. I can’t recall how many times over the years I have heard compliments about Steve Bell and the work he does on behalf of his clients. I have been thrilled with the results I have gotten in court which have far exceeded my expectations. I believe this was due to Steve Bell."

"I am grateful to Steve Bell and his staff for their dedication to my case, on behalf of my two children. When my husband was involuntarily transferred out of state, I contacted Mr. Bell to help with the legalities of relocating my two children from a previous marriage. In a state where relocations of blended families can be very difficult, I was skeptical of our getting the court’s permission. Mr. Bell’s professional manner, superb legal skills, and common sense quickly put my fears to rest. He was straightforward about the potential pitfalls of the case and always made sure that I understood what was going on and how the laws applied to my case. He listened to my concerns and addressed each one of them with genuine interest. He didn’t tell me what I wanted to hear, but told me what I needed to hear. Thus, he prepared me for what transpired in my court trial, as well as the court’s decision. In the end, I was granted permission to relocate my children to the state of Colorado. Now, my husband and our children are reunited as a family."

"Steve Bell was highly recommended by another business owner. Steve proved to be invaluable during the early planning stages of opening my new business. He answered all of my questions, walked me through the complex legal process of business start-up, and made everything seem easy. Steve negotiated a favorable deal and he had my company’s best interests in mind and eliminated every unnecessary risk. Steve readily provides expert counsel regarding business and personal matters. His impeccable reputation, industry experience, and straightforward approach set him apart and make him the solid go-to person I can always count on! I have referred several friends, customers, and colleagues to Steve and will continue to seek his input on large and small legal and business matters for many years to come."

"As Power of Attorney to a much-loved, elderly family friend with Alzheimer’s, I needed legal advice to provide the best quality of life for her when her husband died. Stephen Bell not only exceeded my expectations for legal expertise, but assembled an outstanding team of financial professionals who worked alongside him to manage a sizeable estate. Steve was always accessible, prompt with responses, and went above and beyond to provide legal direction. I will always contact Steve when legal advice is necessary and will whole-heartedly recommend him to family, friends, and others."
