About Steven

Experience & Education

A native of New York City, Steven earned his undergraduate degree from Brooklyn College and his law degree from the University of Miami. He is admitted to practice in California and before various federal courts in California and Florida.

In 2001, Steven obtained a post-graduate Master of Laws (LL.M.) degree from the University of San Diego, focusing on the law of taxation. This course of study focuses on tax planning, analysis, and litigation, and has proven invaluable to his family law clients and as a resource to other attorneys at Cage and Miles.

Areas of Specialization

Steven’s practice focuses on family law and the crossover issues presented between family law and his other areas of expertise, such as trusts and estates. Now in his third decade of practice, Steven’s California legal career began as a trust and estate attorney. His legal experience includes family law, civil litigation, conservatorships and guardianships, bankruptcy, real estate, and alternative dispute resolution. The overwhelming majority of his litigated matters, however, involve domestic violence restraining orders, child custody and visitation, child and spousal support, property and debt division, and post-judgment litigation of these issues.

In The Community

Steven is an active member of the San Diego County Bar Association’s family law section and the San Diego Family Law Bar Association. An endurance road cyclist, mountain biker, and motorcyclist, Steven spends most weekends on two wheels enjoying San Diego’s roads and trails, often cycling with the Challenged Athletes Foundation Cycling Club - an organization that provides opportunities and support for athletes with physical challenges. When off the bikes, Steven enjoys time with his wife (a pediatric nurse), their children, and the family’s rescued Labrador/Coonhound mix, in search of a decent bagel or slice of pizza.

Client Testimonials

Amazing team of experts - I could not have navigated the past 4 years without their help for custody, child support, bankruptcy and even a name change. Thank you so much Steve and Rob for making my 4 children your priority.

Ana T

My experience with Steven Brumer was excellent. Though I'm not personally in bankruptcy, I'm connected to one, and the situation is quite complicated. I was referred to Steven, thinking I'd need an advocate. He gave me a very good "education" on how the system works, and ideas on how to navigate it. It was that advice that empowered me to begin the process myself - something I would have been afraid to do before - and as it turned out, I was successful on my own. Thank you so much, Steven! If you need an attorney who is expert at his craft as well as an excellent communicator, and undoubtedly an excellent advocate, I can't recommend Steven Brumer highly enough.

Anita McKewen

Steven Brumer helped my parents with their living will and trust. He was very professional and was patient with my parents. His dedication to detail was spot on. He provided exceptional service and would recommend him to any of my family and friends.

Christy Bmendoza

Steven set my mind at ease immediately. My situation felt incredibly difficult and extreme. After our initial consultation I knew that when the time came for me to act that Steven was the perfect professional for me to hire. He was very diligent dotting every “i” and crossing every “t” while carefully explaining each step through completion. I can’t imagine anyone else doing a finer job. Thank you!

Coach Miller

Steven Brumer was recommended to us by a trusted friend. My wife and I hired Steven to rewrite our estate plan. He explained the law, outlined in clear language the steps in the process that needed to be taken, and listened carefully to our concerns. He was reassuring, articulate, knowable and effective. He even arranged a remote signing for our documents over FaceTime. Steven made the process so much easier and gave us the peace of mind we needed. I would not hesitate to recommend him and his firm to others.

Dave Olgetree

We worked with Steven K. Brumer on our will & trust documents. He understood how overwhelming that process can be and didn't rush us. He was very attentive, informative, knowledgeable and patient. He was easy to communicate with and answered all our questions clearly. Would highly recommend.

Dan Capotosto

Steven and his team were very responsive and thorough. They answered all of my questions thoroughly and thoughtfully, no matter how basic they were. They also made reviewing and signing documents simple and convenient even though I live in LA. I definitely recommend them for trust and end of life planning.

Neil Sheridan

Since I have worked with several attorneys in Southern California, I have no hesitation in recommending this law firm. My initial consultation with Shannon was so informative and she was 100% honest with me about where my high conflict custody case stood and where it needed to go. I am very grateful to my attorney, Steven Brumer and team, for their exceptional attention to detail, informativeness, and dedication to my case. Ultimately, Steven was able to secure the best possible resolution for my case, all without requiring me to go to trial. My child's best interests were always at the forefront of his decisions and he provided me with guidance and advice I can continue to use throughout this journey of parenting. If there is one thing I've learned over the years, it's that you really get what you pay for with attorneys. I 100% recommend Steven for any custody case.

Larry P

I have consulted Steven Brumer on several occasions, concerning sensitive legal family issues. If I could give Steven 10 stars, I would. He is intelligent, kind, experienced and knowledgeable. He took as much time as I needed to help me think things out. He was concerned and empathetic. I live in Pennsylvania now and his advice to me about how to get what I needed done in another state was free of any self-interest.
