After graduating law school, Steven entered into the general practice of law, quickly concentrating in municipal and real estate matters, initially as a solo attorney and then as an Associate Attorney at Levine, Glass & Miller. With a diverse background, including serving as an Assistant County Attorney, Conflict Counsel for the County of Sullivan Industrial Development Agency, and member of the Town of Fallsburg Planning Board, Steven ran for the office of Supervisor of the Town of Fallsburg in November of 2009. He served 12 years as the Supervisor, overseeing over 50 million dollars in infrastructure upgrades. Steve uses the experience gained in each of these positions to assist clients through the oftentimes confusing entitlement, financing and development processes.
