Incredibly Dedicated, Intelligent & Capable Lawyer

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 cas...e 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

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 inte...rested 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.

Superb

Had a great experience regarding my case with Mr. Warshawsky. He worked effective and tirelessly on my case to get the desired outcome. I am impressed with his work. Communication was also great

Posted by John | December 30, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Discrimination

Highly Valuable Legal Advocate

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 knowl...edge 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.

A pleasure to work with

Steven took a very challenging discrimination case that other attorneys balked at. He could see past the obvious difficulties and understand the complaint was still very valid. He made all of the various options clear, and walked me through the pros and cons of each approach. A personable and trustwo...rthy guy, Steven got the job done for me and would do the same for you.

"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."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
