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...torney I did retain was not on my side! Overall, I got what I wanted, to be free. Lina's advise was priceless. "If they don't let you walk away, fight!" Thankfully, I did not have to but if I had I would have retained Lina quickly! She ROCKS!

Top notch Employment Lawyer

I was fired from a restaurant where I had worked for decades. I did not want to sue my employer, so I did not. 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...plied to my emails and always seemed to have time for any questions I had without cutting me off, like other attorneys had done. Do yourself a favor and contact her for your employment issue, you wont regret it.

Goes above and beyond to assist

Lina was introduced to me by a friend who spoke highly of her when I needed an attorney to take my case. From my first interaction with Lina, I was very impressed on how she conducted herself as a professional. Lina was superb with providing feedback around what is best for me with my case. She kep...t me abreast and was also open to any suggestion that I had. She fought through the obstacles from my employer and was very successful. I am forever grateful for her assistance. Thank you Lina.

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 ...she always returns calls if anything. It’s even better we can communicate in English and Spanish as well!

"“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."
