Handling Some of the Largest Estates
The Steele firm is the best choice for people who want quality service at a reasonable price. Some people believe you have to pay a lot to get the best lawyer.
Originally formed by their father, Ruel Steele, this firm has always operated under the premise that their charges would be most competitive while giving clients the benefit of their many years of combined service.
We pride ourselves in our estate work, having worked under our father's tutelage, who had 45 years of experience in probate law. We have handled some of the largest estates in the history of Lawrence County, at reasonable costs to our clients.
Many of the local judges have used our firm and referred their families to us for estate work. We have had many referrals from other local attorneys in the area of probate matters. This law firm has won the coveted Reader's Choice award as Best Law Firm eight times in recent years.
Brent and Byron Steele have over 100 combined years of experience in all aspects of real estate law, having examined tens of thousands of real estate titles for two national banks literally.
Our work includes extensive work in contract law and title insurance. We have a highly trained office staff who have been with us for many years.
Being an attorney in a small town requires a diversified practice. While the Steele firm has extensive experience in real estate, estate planning, and probate work, we have successfully handled cases in almost every other area of the law.
