Stephen Z Starr displays genuine concern in every question he answers on Avvo. Attorney Starr's answers reflect a solid understanding of the law and a quick grasp of the applicable law in every situation. He also gives practical solutions. I endorse this lawyer for bankruptcy matters.

I unconditionally endorse Stephen. Stephen is an attorney who I have known for close to ten years. He is bright, professional, creative and extremely knowledgeable for any type of bankruptcy, big or small. I have worked closely with Stephen and have referred him several individuals and corporations, all of whom praise his intelligence and his abilities. He is also someone who can analyze a comprehensive, complex bankruptcy and is able to easily see through the maze. He is also a very effective negotiator, a skill frequently used by bankruptcy counsel, and can fight the fight, if necessary to bring the desired result. He is a winner!

I have known Stephen through the NYC lawyer community for several years. I have always been impressed with his professionalism and thoroughness as a bankruptcy lawyer. I have referred food clients to him for bankruptcy and for Perishable Agriculture Commodities Act ("PACA"). I find him to be an honest, detail-oriented attorney and recommend him without hesitation.
