It took me many phone calls to find an attorney who could handle my discrimination claim (or even do intake), and I'm so glad Steven picked up the phone. His empathy stood out immediately, and over the course the year it took to reach a resolution, his thoughtfulness and expertise stood out every time we interacted. Steven's genuine compassion for my situation was remarkable. He understood how painful it would be to go to court and was clear with me about the weaknesses in my case (simply due to lack of clear evidence, much as there was no question I'd been discriminated against). Thanks to his persistence and guidance, we reached a settlement. read more

I was referred to Steven from another law firm. Although I've only met with him for a consultation, I felt he did a very thorough job of (1) speaking to me about the details of my case, (2) discussing my options, and (3) reviewing a few documents with me to see how strong my evidence was (what I'd argue to be the most important). He was far and away the most knowledgeable and I wouldn't hesitate to work with him. read more

Cannot say enough, great things about my experience with Steven. I've had several lawyers throughout my life, and majority of them are terrible. They don't communicate, they don't pay attention to details, they don't HEAR what you have to say. So many just feel like paper pushers. Not Steven. He was available within a day if I ever needed to talk, but I was so comfortable leaving the case with him (which I felt his compassion right away) and just not having to think anything about it that I never had to reach out. He was great at keeping me updated throughout the process, and the case ended with a great success! Very very highly recommended. read more

I can't say enough about Steven . Steven took my case that was involving discrimination and antisemitism and he believed we could win when other didn't.

When I was seeking legal advice I came across large firms that didn't return my phone calls, had exorbitant rates, or wanted a retainer before learning anything about my potential case. I'm so glad I found Steven. He's extremely responsive, knowledgable and seems to really care about reaching a positive outcome. He takes the time to explain everything in great detail and does a good job of simplifying complex legal concepts. Since finding Steven I've consulted with him on a couple additional issues over the years and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to my friends and family. read more

We recently worked with Steven who helped us reach a settlement for a personal injury case. It was our first time (and hopefully last time) doing this and I am so glad that a friend put us in touch with Steven. He was great to work with and explained what was going on and why each step of the way. We really appreciated the full transparency on everything, explaining what parties are incentivized for what, and ensuring we were comfortable with any direction he took with our case. Really great communicator and extremely professional throughout our time working together. Above all else Steven is a good person and while I hope we don't find ourselves in a situation like this again it's a good feeling knowing we have Steven in our corner if we need him. Thanks for everything! read more

I spent 9 months of my efforts trying to get compensation for some insured items that were damaged, but my provider stonewalled and refused. I almost gave up, but I engaged Steven instead--and the claim was favorably settled and a check was delivered to me within 5 weeks. Steven assembled a compelling legal challenge that made my provider take my claim seriously. Steven then provided valuable advice as we navigated the negotiated agreement. It was a pleasure to be able to work with an attorney as knowledgeable and professional as Steven. I would work with him again, in a heartbeat. read more
