Review Steven Warshawsky

Highly Recommend

Posted by

I have had the pleasure of having Mr. Warshawsky as my attorney for the past six years. He is a fierce fighter that will fearlessly and ferociously defend your case. He has represented me in two cases. In the face of an adversary he does not run, he does not hide, and he does not freeze. He is the David that will stand up to any Goliath. He is the attorney that will vigorously defend you until you are victorious. He is the personification of professionalism who consistently surpasses your expectations. Without question, without doubt, and without hesitation I highly recommend his services to anyone. If you still have doubts, please email me at [email protected] and I will be more than willing to discuss.

Not afraid to stand up for his clients

Posted by

I hired Steve to represent me in a case protected by a rarely litigated NY State labor law. Most lawyers didn’t want to take it on but Steve knew the law well, was confident in the facts, and went to bat for me. The end result was satisfactory and Steve was a great sounding board during the process.

Truly an outstanding lawyer

Posted by

Having Steve represent my case was a tremendous honor. Throughout the case I found Steve to be direct, candid, knowledgeable, thorough, experienced, appropriately aggressive, realistic and professional. He was responsive and gave comprehensive answers to all of my questions. Before meeting Steve, I spoke with a high volume of lawyers. None seemed to possess the competency or know-how to see the validity of my claims. Steve clearly identified the merits of the case. (Think of where that positions Steve among lawyers.) Put better, Steve is one out of many If you need a lawyer, this man is the one to call.

Incredibly Dedicated, Intelligent & Capable Lawyer

Posted by

We hired Steven for a labor lawsuit that was neglected by a previous attorney who charged much more for doing much less. Steven was incredible every step of the way. He is personable, listens well and gives valuable input. Steve took our case on short notice and worked diligently to bring the case back on track. He corrected the mistakes of our previous attorney and gave us recommendations that ultimately led us through settlement. Although he represented us, the employer, he always looked at the case from both parties' perspectives and gave us his honest opinions. Amongst all the lawyers we have hired in the past 30 years, Steven is who we would most highly recommend!

Excellent lawyer

Posted by

Steven represented me on an employment related issue, and I found him to be smart, direct, and honest. He gave me excellent advice and helped me select the best options to pursue given my situation. Ultimately, he helped me reach a more than acceptable settlement. He knows the law and clearly is interested in the work he does - his advice was spot on, and his writing style was persuasive. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

A 5-Star Review

Posted by

Mr. Warshawsky and I had a very good working relationship. He was very attentive and patient. I had a lot of questions and my case was quite complex. He took the time to make sure I understood every step along the way. He prepared me very well on what to expect, and there were no surprises. He was a skilled mediator. I actually went to trial with him for a civil rights matter, and he was more than competent as a trial lawyer. I highly recommend him,

Highly Valuable Legal Advocate

Posted by

We are small restaurant owners and were sued by a former employee claiming disability discrimination. We initially hired an attorney from a prominent labor law firm which resulted in a very regretful experience. The lawyer was entirely incompetent and did not possess the minimum level of knowledge and skills required to resolve the case to our satisfaction. We then turned to Mr. Warshawsky hoping for a better outcome. Unlike the previous attorney, Mr. Warshawsky demonstrated a mastery of the law and guided us skillfully throughout the entire legal process. Mr. Warshawsky clearly explained our situation in the context of the law and presented a realistic depiction of how the case may unfold given our options on how to proceed with the matter. . Through his negotiation abilities, we eventually settled the case out of court with a compensation amount that was within reason. We are very thankful for his help because we believe the situation could have been much worse without his advocacy We highly recommend Mr. Warshawsky for labor-related legal issues either as a plaintiff or defendant.

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.

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.
