If you are looking for someone who will go that extra mile for you, Steve Fruitman is that person. I have been working with Steve since 2009 and he is someone I constantly turn to for help and advice. Often times business owners are scared to seek the advice of a lawyer. But with Steve, it’s different. Steve always looks way beyond the “law” and helps me consider all the factors involved in making certain decisions. It may sound odd, but I consider my lawyer a true friend and confidante. Steve is the last corporate lawyer you will ever need to search for.

President, Sherine Group of Companies
It was a real pleasure working with Magellan Law, especially with Steve Fruitman and Karen Fruitman. Given the complicated situation that I faced, I could not imagine it having been resolved without their dedicated efforts. I was always able connect with them no matter how late it was or regardless of whether it was the weekend. Aside from making me feel as if I was their priority, their outstanding knowledge and professionalism helped resolve my issues and move on with my life quickly. I am pleased to recommend Steve Fruitman, Karen Fruitman and the entire Magellan team!

Steve Fruitman is a refreshingly valuable contributor to our corporate initiatives and an efficient and thorough professional in all his responsibilities, with a vigilant “businessman’s” eye on both the calendar and the ultimate financial impact of his actions. He is an “above and beyond” kind of guy, one with a dead certainty of execution and delivery, one with no question of ultimate value on the team. I believe Steve is the quintessential legal professional and embodies the highest ideals of his chosen field.

We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.
