Bio

Steve is a full-time mediator. Before starting his mediation practice, Steve litigated and tried cases for almost twenty years. 

As an advocate, Steve represented individuals in workplace discrimination and harassment cases, wage and hour collective actions, restrictive covenant disputes, and executive separations. He also advised small businesses on employment matters. After practicing with two of the premier employee rights firms in Georgia, Steve co-founded the firm Legare, Attwood & Wolfe, LLC, where he practiced from 2015-2024. Steve represented people from all walks of life and all industries. He is experienced in both private and public sector individual rights cases. He achieved favorable results for his clients in jury trials, arbitrations, appeals, and the Georgia Supreme Court.   

Steve is a registered neutral with the Georgia Office of Dispute Resolution. He has been recognized by his peers as a Georgia Super Lawyer in every year he has been eligible, and he holds a Martindale Hubbell AV Preeminent Rating. He is a past President of Georgia’s branch of the National Employment Lawyers Association and a member of the Board of the Atlanta Bar Association’s Labor & Employment Section. He also serves as a Board Member of the Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers’ Foundation, a charitable organization that provides free legal services to Atlantans in need. 

Steve grew up in a small town in rural northeast Pennsylvania, the oldest of three siblings and the son of a lawyer and a public school teacher. He moved to Atlanta to attend Emory Law School and has proudly called the city home ever since. He lives in Atlanta’s Northlake neighborhood with his wife, Cristiane, who is a brilliant corporate attorney, their two sons, and their dog. In Steve’s life outside of mediation, he loves hiking, reading fiction and history, practicing karate and jujitsu, creative writing, and playing the piano very badly. Steve and his family are working toward hiking in every US National Park.
