John Buza, Litigation Attorney on Oct 3, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
When people refer to baseball players, sometimes they will say the truly greatest are "5-tool players." This means they hit well for both average and power, they run well, they have a great arm, and they play great defense. Steve, is a 5-tool lawyer. His courtroom advocacy and knowledge of the law is surpassed only by his ability to help his clients when they need a lawyer most. I strongly recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney.
I endorse this lawyer.
Eugene Girin, Civil rights Attorney on Oct 3, 2013
Relationship: Worked together on matter
Steve is a wonderful attorney who combines superb knowledge of the law with the highest level of professionalism and outstanding litigation skills. He is very highly regarded by both his clients and other legal professionals. I was very privileged to work together with him. He is a true asset to the legal profession.
Ira Newman, Employment and labor Attorney on Feb 22, 2012
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
There is no finer lawyer than Steven Warshawsky. My recommendation is based on an approximate 3 year litigation in the federal, labor, employment and civil rights areas when Steven was a former Assistant United States Attorney in the Eastern District of New York and I represented a federal agency employee. His litigation and trial skills are on a par with the most seasoned senior litigation partners at established Wall Street law firms. If I required representation myself, my first call would be to Steven; that is the esteem I have for him.
