At the Law Offices of Stephen Black, we bring more than 30 years of courtroom and client-focused experience to every case. Based in Orlando, Florida, we represent clients throughout the state and, through our immigration practice, families and individuals worldwide.
Our firm focuses on two areas where real advocacy makes all the difference: personal injury and U.S. immigration law. Whether you were injured in an accident or need help bringing a loved one to the United States, you’ll work directly with an attorney—never handed off to a case manager or paralegal.
We combine personal service with modern efficiency, offering honest advice, fair fees, and hands-on representation from start to finish.
Our goal is simple: to help you understand your rights, fight for the results that matter, and deliver the kind of representation that puts people first and gets results that last.
I’ve practiced law in Florida for more than three decades—always on my own terms. I built my practice on relationships, results, and real advocacy, not gimmicks or billboards. My clients don’t hire me because I’m flashy—they hire me because I’m relentless, direct, and committed to getting it right.
I earned my law degree from Whittier Law School, where I worked in an immigration clinic that opened my eyes to how the law impacts real people—not just policy, but lives and families. Before that, I studied at Tulane University, where I played rugby and wrote for the campus paper, learning grit, curiosity, and resilience.
Today, my practice focuses on two core areas:
I handle serious injury and wrongful-death cases, including auto accidents, premises liability, and negligence claims throughout Florida. When insurance companies delay or deny, I fight back—using decades of trial and negotiation experience to secure fair compensation and accountability.
Through my worldwide immigration practice, I help couples and families navigate the complex U.S. immigration system. I represent clients across all 50 states and abroad in:
Fiancé (K-1) visas
Marriage-based green cards
Family petitions and consular processing
Adjustment of status and waiver applications
I take a select number of immigration cases personally—because I genuinely enjoy hearing my clients’ stories, learning about their cultures, and helping them build new lives together. Each case is handled directly by me, with care, communication, and attention to detail.
My practice is lean by design. Every client works with me directly, from the first consultation to the final decision. No layers, no handoffs—just clear answers, practical strategy, and genuine advocacy.
If you’re looking for an attorney who shows up, digs deep, and never backs down—whether it’s fighting an insurance company or navigating a U.S. visa—I’m here to help.
