If you've been sexually harassed or discriminated against in the workplace... I seriously can't recommend Steven Arenson enough! After countless introductory calls with various attorneys, who only seemed to be interested in money, I thankfully found Steven on Nolo. Desperate to find someone who seemed to care about the wrongdoing and justice over the payout, I scheduled yet another intro call. From the very first time Steven and I spoke, I knew he would be THE ONLY person to handle my case. During our call, he made me feel so comfortable and really took an interest in even the smallest of details. Not only was steven beyond diligent in his work as my attorney, but he was also a major support system for me as I went through the process of bringing about a sexual harassment lawsuit against my employer. It was such a relief that whenever I called, he would pick up and talk to me or immediately respond by email or text message. Steve always sought out my approval before sending official correspondence and kept me updated as we moved through the process. No secrets and no surprises! From the very beginning, Steven displayed impeccable judgment, kept a calm demeanor, and always knew exactly how to handle situations. We successfully settled the case for an amount beyond what I could have hoped for... ever. Steven’s deep understanding of the law coupled with his passion for justice was so inspiring that I am now in law school studying to be an attorney! For anyone reading this, I strongly recommend reaching out to him.
Steve represented myself and a few other colleagues in a discrimination case and did a great job lining up all the facts and putting together an amazing and compelling argument. He was very thorough and we went over the scenarios multiple times before he presented the case. From beginning to end, Steve proved to be a valuable and caring lawyer. He was very persistent and only offered great advice, even the meditator made a statement about how impressed he felt with Steve’s strong stance. I would highly recommend Steve to represent anyone in any type of employment/discrimination case. Thank you Steve and team!

Steven went Above and Beyond
From the start of this Journey Steven met me with an open heart, deep listening ears and a whole lot of skills and experience in his field. The process was smooth and he was always in contact with me if I had any questions in a timely matter. Steven believes in the law and he believes in protecting people rights. I would recommend Steven to anyone who has ever encountered unfair treatment at the workplace. I feel super grateful and lucky to have came across his name when I had an issue I needed help dealing with. Friendly, Serious when needed, but also light hearted at times when talking through hard conversations. Steven is all about the HONEST GOOD FIGHT! TENS ACROSS THE BOARD!

Steven is informative, helpful and always is invested in your best interest
Steven is a phenomenal advocate to have in your corner. He was quickly able to turn a very stressful situation into a much more manageable and understandable process. Steven was extremely thorough and personally, didn’t pass me off to an associate, took all the time needed to explain and review my matter detail. He was very patient throughout and made sure that I knew exactly what was going on at all times. I really felt as though he truly had my best interest in mind throughout the whole process. Steven is extremely knowledgeable in his area of law and is an excellent negotiator. He ended up securing me more than I ever would have expected. I wouldn’t hesitate at all to use his services again or recommend them to any one else in a similar situation.

Thank you Steve
Steve Arenson's expertise in labor law has been a great resource for our medical practice. Amongst giving genuinely practical and relevant advice Steve has helped us create an employee handbook, overtime work guidelines, and has helped us manage employee issues that have come up. I trust his judgement. He is always concerned about our well being and is attentive, responsive, timely, and reasonable in all aspects of his relationship with us. I highly recommend him as a labor lawyer to anyone requiring such services.

Solid advice
I consulted Steve Arenson regarding employment issues on two different occasions in the past ten years (in both cases, mass layoff situations at prominent financial firms), and I received solid and practical legal advice. Steve was extremely helpful in clarifying my own thinking on my specific situation and gave constructive, prudent advice. He is quick to understand the nuances of individual circumstances. Highly recommend Steve to anyone who is looking for pragmatic and ethical legal counsel.

Justice for the little guy
Ten years ago I was pushed out of a prominent east coast company for being an observant Jew. I was facing horrible daily discrimination and threats. Steve provided me with professional legal defense and I was able to reach a just settlement, which allowed me to move forward with dignity and respect. I am very grateful for Steve's integrity, knowledge and expertise and for guiding me throughout the process. I highly recommend Steve Arenson for legal services to anyone.
