Light in Darkness
During a time when I was "amicably" laid off, contacted by an attorney demanding I sign a non-compete agreement and getting not a dollar for over 4 weeks, Lina helped me see bright again. She called me back, listened to my story and answered my questions. She gave me the push I needed because the at...

Top notch Employment Lawyer

Lina, however, managed to get me a pretty significant settlement agreement because she found that there had been many violations that I had no idea about. She was always very kind to me, re...

Amazing Attorney!
Lina Stillman has been my lawyer from 2015-Present. She is the most reliable attorney anyone can have! and has been the one I go to for my Employment Authorization Renewals. She is always on top of things very knowledgeable, trustworthy and caring also quick to respond to any questions via texts and ...
"I endorse this lawyer. I was lucky enough to spend a significant amount of time with Lina studying the practice of law. Lina is both caring and tenacious."
"Lina is a kind and compassionate advocate that will stop at nothing to obtain the justice her client's deserve. I know her to be honest, intelligent, and incredibly dedicated to her clients."
"Some lawyers do what we do because it’s our job. Others are advocates who do what they do because they were called to the work. Lina’s passion for her clients clearly shows the vocational way she’s been called to be a champion for her clients. For the person looking for the attorney with incomparable attention to detail and whose heart beats for her clients, Lina is the obvious choice"
"I endorse Lina Stillman because she embodies the qualities I most admire about effective, compassionate, and diligent attorneys. I have seen Lina manage difficult emotional matters and she does so with empathy, caring, and understanding. She is also fearless and a champion for her clients and these are wonderful attributes and qualities in Lina. I trust this attorney and I encourage you to contact her. Lina is a lawyer's lawyer and to be recognized for this is no small achievement."
"“Trustworthy and reliable” are the words that come to mind when I think about Lina Stillman. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Ms. Stillman for several years and we have worked together on more than one occasion. Above all, I was impressed with Ms. Stillman’s professionalism and commitment to her clients. And, of course, her very strong and energetic personality that impresses people very much. I feel confident in recommending clients to Lina Stillman (she does employment, deportation and Asylum)."
"I worked closely with Lina in an intense trial program workshopping cases for several weeks. She’s a triple threat: 100% fluency in both English and Spanish; a passionate advocate for her clients and their causes; and possesses a command of the law. When I’m asked for a referral to an employment lawyer in the New York area, she’s my go to choice. I wouldn’t hesitate to send my own friends and family to her. If you need an employment lawyer, call Lina first."
"Lina has a spectacular ability to cut to the core of a legal issue to get justice for her clients. I am more than willing to refer my clients to Lina for any employment and labor law issues."
