Steven M. Warshawsky

At The Warshawsky Law Firm, we represent employees and employers in the full range of labor and employment law matters arising under federal, state, and local laws. We represent clients in the New York City metropolitan area, including Long Island, as well as throughout the State of New York.

We handle all workplace issues, including wrongful termination, sexual harassment and hostile work environment, discrimination and retaliation, minimum wage and overtime rights, family and medical leave, employment contracts and non-compete agreements, and layoffs and severance agreements.   

Our practice focuses primarily on federal court litigation, but we also handle cases in state courts, before government agencies, and at arbitration proceedings. Unlike many lawyers who have never seen the inside of a courtroom, we are true trial and appellate lawyers who have successfully represented clients in jury trials, bench trials, arbitrations, and appeals.

The founder and principal of the firm is Steven M. Warshawsky. In his career, Mr. Warshawsky has served as an Assistant United States Attorney, an associate at prestigious national law firms, and a law clerk to federal judges. He possesses outstanding academic and professional qualifications, strong written and oral advocacy skills, an exceptional work ethic, and a commitment to excellence in all aspects of lawyering.

Mr. Warshawsky has tried numerous cases to verdict in federal courts in New York and Washington, D.C. He has briefed and argued numerous appeals before the U.S. Court of Appeals. He has represented Fortune 500 companies, chief executives, and senior government officials. He has litigated complex and cutting edge legal issues. His scholarly articles have been cited by courts in New York, California, and Texas, and by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces.

Mr. Warshawsky brings a wealth of knowledge, experience, and sound judgment to every case. Federal judges have described him as “a wonderful lawyer,” “an extremely skilled lawyer,” and “a distinguished member of the bar.” His clients have described him as “an amazing and talented attorney with integrity,” “a gifted litigator,” “not afraid to fight for the little guy,” and “a lawyer’s lawyer.”

Mr. Warshawsky is dedicated to providing superior client service.  He personally manages every client’s case, including the initial consultation, investigation, discovery, depositions, expert witnesses, motions, hearings, trial, and appeal. Mr. Warshawsky works closely with clients to develop an effective legal strategy that meets each client’s objectives and budget.

At The Warshawsky Law Firm, our mission is to provide our clients with personalized, professional representation. We carefully evaluate each new matter and give an honest, realistic assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of every client’s case. Because we don’t want to waste anyone’s time and money, we only take cases that we believe in and are confident we can help achieve the client’s goals.
