Strong recommendation

Steven represented me in an employment case and exceeded all my expectations during the process. Throughout, he displayed the utmost professionalism, knowledge, responsiveness and objectivity - all balanced by a measured wisdom, guiding the client to reach their own reasonable conclusion on how to pr...oceed. In addition, his personable disposition allowed the whole situation to proceed in a very amicable, productive way for all parties involved. I would highly recommend him and I will use him again.

Excellent lawyer. My super hero. Won a big settlement for me.

I was very unjustly and humiliatingly fired by the company I had worked for almost 16 years. The day I was fired I was so upset. I didn't know what to do or where to turn. A friend recommended that I contact Steven Felsenfeld. I called Steve. Just speaking with him on the phone calmed me and gave me ...hope that I could fight the injustice that was done to me. I drove up to Croton-on-Hudson to meet Steven Felsenfeld at the Hilpert Law Offices. This is a lovely drive to a beautiful building overlooking the Hudson River. This was the most advantageous drive of my life. Through it I met Steven Felsenfeld, retained him as my lawyer, and won a fabulous monetary settlement from the company that unjustly fired me. Steven Felsenfeld won this great settlement for me in less than 5 months from the day I first spoke with him. From the beginning, Steve was very kind and patient with me, while being very firm and tough on my ex-employer. Steve has a great sense of timing and knew just when to write to them to tell them he represented me. He let my ex-employer know how many serious errors they had made and that he expected them to right the wrongs they had done to me. Due to Steven Felsenfeld's strength, knowledge, and abilities, my case went to mediation very quickly. Steven Felsenfeld did an amazing job for me. I'm in awe of his negotiating skills and his confident ability to stand firm against intimidation and cajoling. Steve really fought for me. He adamantly refused my ex-employer's continuing low offers. He reiterated the strength of my case and the enormous cost to the company if the case went to trial. He surely convinced them, and I received a very large monetary settlement. I am a happy woman now. I am so fortunate that Steven Felsenfeld is my lawyer. Steve Felsenfeld really took the wind out of my employer's sails, brought them to their knees, and made them see the error of their ways. Before Steve came to my rescue, my ex-employer thought of me as a nothing, a nobody, who they could throw out like an old shoe. Because of Steven Felsenfeld, my ex-employer is thinking much differently now. They had to pay me a very large amount of money. Because of Steven Felsenfeld, JUSTICE has prevailed. Steven Felsenfeld is a very honorable man in regard to his fee. He truly and rightfully should have charged me much more. He worked many hours on my case and spent a whole long day at the mediation. Paying two times more than he charged me would have been fair. I highly recommend Steven Felsenfeld to anyone who needs the very best lawyer.
