"Steve and I have worked together on employment matters, and he is a knowledgeable, dedicated, and intelligent attorney. I am proud to endorse him."
"Mr. Arenson was my opposing counsel in a very hard-fought Title VII action. He did his absolute best for his client in all circumstances and was a talented and determined adversary, while never being anything less than 100% courteous and professional. I was impressed in particular with his diligence and thoroughness."
"Steve is an incredibly talented, passionate, and creative attorney who has achieved very impressive results for his clients. I recommend Steve without reservation."
"Steve and I have conferred on several matters and I have been impressed by his thoughtful, well-considered approach to employment law issues. Equally impressive is his commitment to best serving his client's needs. He is clever, resourceful, and tenacious, and I have not hesitated in recommending Steve to individuals who need a strong litigator for their employment law matter."
"Steve is my go-to attorney to consult and refer on a number of employment law issues. Steve's wealth of experience is evident in his substantive knowledge of the law and command of the issues. More importantly, it's clear that Steve is motivated by his personal dedication to his clients and his belief that their rights matter. You can be confident that he will devote careful, close attention to each case. I recommend him highly."
