Steve was a larger than life presence in our family law world – his offices were in Beverly Hills, but he had a statewide, national, and international presence. Paraphrasing our AAML Southern California President, Eleanor Stegmeier, he was a strong advocate for his clients and for all family law attorneys.

As our HLG website will soon reflect (we are adding a new “tab” on the topic), we substantially support a number of local and other non-profit groups. HLG is community-minded and involved. We are fortunate, and we appreciate our success. “Giving” is a way of supporting and applauding all who give their time, funds, and energy toward building and maintaining the social fabric — especially in these fraught times.

HLG fully respects the disruption and suffering caused by the present public emergency. We believe that a good (if not the only) way through is with a positive attitude and outlook. This moment provides an opportunity to review some recent achievements that were not broadcast over our recent months of intense trials and other case work. We might be momentarily pausing, but we are not lying down!
