When most people hear the words “Commercial Vehicle”, they automatically think big rigs, 18 wheelers, and semi-trucks. But in fact, an ordinary pickup truck could be classified as a Semi Truck. According to FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration), the general definition of a commercial motor vehicle has several parts: a self-propelled or towed vehicle used to transport goods or passengers, with a gross vehicle weight rating or combination weight rating of 26,001 points or more, or seats to transport more than eight passengers for money, or seats to transport more than fifteen passengers, not for money, or a bed or trailer to transport a large quantity of hazardous material.
A vehicle is giving commercial status when its primary purpose is the transportation of property or persons for hire. Some of the most common types of Semi Trucks are box trucks, semi-trucks, big rigs, large truck, buses, coach buses, vans, trailers, heavy construction equipment, farming equipment, travel trailers over 10,000 pounds, taxi-cabs, limousines, ice cream trucks, for-hire passenger vehicles, ride hailing vehicles, delivery vehicles, and more.

Steven and I attended law school together and I have known him since 2000. He was stellar in representing a close friend with a personal injury matter. I have been very impressed with his communication, dedication and thoroughness in representation.
Steve is the real deal! He is an extremely invaluable resource on all things Litigation for me as a younger attorney. He is not only great a securing the bigger verdicts, but actually cares about the clients and still sticks by his tried and true method of meeting, in person, with his clients to go over facts . overall, a solid attorney, with a wealth of knowledge!
After working with Steve for a couple of years, I found Steve to be an outstanding, aggressive and highly skilled lawyer in the courtroom. His confidence and knowledge of the courtroom and what it takes to succeed there, I believe will ensure his long term prosperity.
I had the pleasure of working on a trial with Steven last August. His background as an ADA is clearly evident in the courtroom. Steven's presentation of the evidence throughout trial is that of a seasoned attorney who has spent many hours in front of a jury. His opening/closings were excellent, as well as his strategic litigating throughout the trial. Steven is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with, and watch in the courtroom.
When I met Steve, I was a legal assistant at a Plaintiff’s firm and he was working as an attorney for AIG. We connected there and then. Steve is a likable guy and an outstanding trial lawyer. He is charismatic and jurors like him. He is a Plaintiff’s lawyer now and he has the right skill set to represent injured individuals: he is compassionate, honest, and sincere and will go the extra mile for his clients. I’ve known Steve for almost 8 years now and I’m excited to see his career evolve.
