An excerpt from a trial transcript in which Steven Schepps was victorious with the Judge of Workers’ Compensation addressing our client as follows: The Court: (to our client) You have been, I must say this humbly, privileged to witness what I consider one of the best trials I ever presided over in over my twenty years as a Judge. The attorneys were prepared as all attorneys should be prepared. They conducted themselves with ability, with a thorough knowledge of the law; and as I always say, trial preparation is 95 percent of the trial work, with total trial preparation. It has been, indeed, a privilege for me to sit on this trial
