Competent, confident, knowledgeable, experienced and eloquent

Lawyers who are both competent and have integrity are rare to find. Steve is one who has both qualities, and proved to be more. In a time when governments and employers do not hesitate to violate employees' basic human rights, we need more attorneys like Steve. Steve is not afraid to go against th...e "trend" and stands up for what is right, which I believe is the most important quality in a lawyer. On top of that, Steve excels in the field of his practice. He has thorough knowledge of the law, tons of experience in successfully representing his clients, and commands eloquence. He alone can provide more than a team of several lawyers from a big law firm. If you go to a big law because of a lead attorney's credentials, your case is likely assigned to someone else. When you hire Steve, you get his personal attention every step of the way. You can rest assured that you are in good hands. Steve is also considerate and mindful of his clients' needs. He explains legal issues and process in a way that is easier for laymen to understand. He is also mindful of the costs to his clients when presenting various approaches and options. I highly recommend Steve.

Combines deep knowledge with genuine patience and precision

Took the time to understand my concerns, patiently answering every question—no matter how small—until I felt completely clear on the process. Whenever I needed extra reassurance, they happily scheduled additional meetings, walking me through each step in simple, straightforward language. Every doc...ument was reviewed with care, every deadline met without a hitch, and I never had to worry that something important might slip through the cracks. That thoroughness not only eased my mind but also strengthened the case. I had friends who delt with different attorneys but when talking to them, I realized how much I was blessed to have Steve. My experience was outstanding. He is kind, and follow up on everything with great speed! Thanks to his dedication and expertise, we achieved a result that exceeded my expectations.

Outstanding Attorney

I had a very specific issue and after reaching out to a plethora of attorneys. Steve was the only one who actually took the time to tell me my options. After a quick consultation, I felt comfortable hiring him. Steve was patient, informative, diligent and friendly throughout the whole process. I high...ly recommend Steve.

He cares

It was very hard finding a layer for case who was knowledgeable on the subject, and I felt believed in the cause. His letters written to the court were very impressive. He always got back to me when I emailed him, and he never made me feel like I was a bother. This was my first time in this kind o...f legal battle, and he really changed the direction of my life. I highly recommend Steven Warshawsky.

"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."

Employment and labor lawyer | Feb 22

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."
