Stefan L. Jouret

In Nov. 2022 Stefan represented me as the Plaintiff in a MA Wage Act case in Federal Court in Boston under Judge Young. Stefan’s performance during trial was so good and professional that Judge Young complimented how well Stefan tried the case, which seemed like a rare compliment from a prominent jud...ge. Stefan was well-prepared, alert and quick on his feet during the trial which led to a great outcome of our winning the jury trial with an expected $400,000+ final judgment in my favor (after mandatory tripling of verdict amount and legal fees). With my case, Stefan continued his streak of winning all of his jury cases. Stefan’s trial performance was spectacular, and he had a great strategy for each portion of the trial. Several examples include: 1) Persuaded the judge to not mention to the jury that their verdict would be triple, thereby preventing the jury from lowering the amount by factoring in the tripling. 2) Voluntarily and strategically dismissed all of my claims other than the MA Wage Act in order to force the jury to award on the most powerful part of my case rather than compromising on a less lucrative win for me. 3) Ingeniously got around a sensitive issue in which we were constrained by court rules about mentioning an important but sensitive topic. Stefan’s approach added even more benefit while also adhering to the rules. 4) Had video recorded deposition testimony that we played to the jury to destroy the defense on their key issue. 5) Used technology (e.g., animated presentation) was very effective at conveying our position in a very successful way. 6) Negotiated stipulations that worked well and effectively eliminated avenues for the defense. Also, during the case leading up to the trial, Stefan was on top of all of the case and court processes (e.g., discovery, depositions, memos) as well as filings. Stefan worked very collaboratively with me in preparing for the trial. I consider Stefan to be a foremost expert on several legal issues, including the MA Wage Act.

Stefan Jouret was immensely helpful and empathetic in helping me navigate a workplace dispute when false allegations were brought against me. He gave me the confidence to face these allegations and present my side of the story. He was well prepared for our meetings and helped me to achieve the outcom...e I was looking for. A true professional!

I hired Stefan to represent me in an arbitration against my previous divorce lawyers. Stefan was brilliant in his representation of me, and we won the arbitration which significantly cut what I owed my previous attorneys. The previous attorneys shamelessly overcharged me, and Stefan was successful in... proving that. As just one example of his success in my case, let me share the following: My divorce attorney claimed to work hundreds of hours on my divorce case in which the primary issue was child custody. Stefan undermined the credibility of the claimed hours in part by getting the attorney to admit in a deposition that she did not know such basic information about my children such as their names and approximate ages despite claiming to have spent so much time working on my custody for those children. In addition, Stefan worked very efficiently and effectively to reach a successful conclusion in this matter.
