Managing partner

Hands down the best law firm for labor disputes in NYC. Being in the restaurant industry for more than 30 years I can say that this law firm is the number one choice for workers in the restaurant business that need to sue their company for wrongful termination. A special compliment to my lawyer Brit...tany Stevens.. An amazing person and well prepared experienced lawyer. She was professional and empathetic to my case and worked in a time appropriate manner. She never miss a phone call at any hour of the day.The other associates that assisted Brittany were Yusha Hiraman, Eugenio Benvenuto, Kevin Guaranda and Katerina Housos. They were all professional and answered any questions or concerns that I had. Brittany and her team helped me with what I needed, when I needed it. I want to thank them all (especially Brittany), for a job well done!!!

I will forever be grateful for the service and professionalism of this firm. I definitely recommend this firm. Thanks again Mr...s. Stevens.

Beyond Satisfied

I really wish there was an option to add more stars, as this firm definitely deserves them. From the moment you walk in you're greeted by the friendliest receptionist. When dealing with any type of legal matter it can be challenging but this firm ensures that they take as much of the burden off of ...you as possible. My attorney, Marjorie was beyond amazing. From our initial conversation, I was confident that she was the one in my corner. I didn't realize that in addition to her exceptional experience, wealth of knowledge, and personal demeanor, that she would come with a team that possessed the same great qualities. From the paralegal, Kevin, to the other amazing attorneys, Yusha and Brittany, that worked on my case...I really can't thank you enough. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
