Stewart Lee Karlin

Excellent, caring, and supportive attorney. His staff is wonderful as well. He handled my request in a timely manner despite having many other cases, and his attention to detail really stood out. I’m very grateful for his advice and help so far. I would definitely consider hiring him again in the fut...ure if I have additional needs.

After years of frustration with a previous law firm, I was left in a legal mess. Thankfully, I found Mr. Karlin, who gave my case an honest, no-nonsense review and took my case on terms that were both affordable and fair. From the start, he never overpromised or sugarcoated anything. He set clear ex...pectations and kept me grounded while still fighting hard on my behalf. He was thoroughly proactive, anticipating every possible obstacle (most of which, thankfully, never happened — but he was ready if they did). He and Natalia run a tight, efficient operation: they cut through the noise, don’t waste time with needless jargon, and go straight to the core of the matter. In the end, what I thought might turn into a drawn-out trial — my own “seven years’ war” — resolved with a successful pre-trial settlement against a Federal government almost never settles. If you have an employment issue, this is where you go. You’ll get honesty, compassion, and effective representation without being ripped off. I can’t recommend Mr. Karlin and Natalia enough.

I hired Mr. Karlin for a discrimination case against the NYCDOE. He did not submit most of my evidence, did not ask important questions during discovery, did not make sure the negative information in my employment record was erased and demanded that I pay him most of my settlement monies for his fees....
