Won my case against Dept of Labor

I was a new business owner with less than two years experience. He took my case, worked with my financial issues, prepped me adequately for my testimony and fought against the nastiest defense from the state like a champ. We won against the dept of Labor and the decision has helped me when the dept ...of Labor brought up the issue again on a another business I opened five years later. Issue was cleared up with a five minute phone call. The decision was so clear the first time around, they didn't want to pursue that issue with me again!

Fair, Honest, Reasonable,

As the publisher of The Queens Ledger and several other newspapers in Queens County for more than 30-years I have extensive first-hand experience with labor attorneys. I am well aware of the excellent legal representation that Stephen D. Hans & Associates provides on employment law issues to small a...nd mid-size businesses. His staff is superb and their knowledge of employment law in the defense of businesses is absolutely outstanding. This is a firm that cares and knows what they are doing. We use them as a reliable resource for stories quite often.

Awesome Experience!!!!!

I have been a practicing dentist for over 14 years, and one the biggest challenges that any dentist has is managing employees and all HR related issues. Stephen Hans came in and ironed out all my issues from HR Compliance and even provided us with a detailed handbook. He treated my practice as his... own and is always quick to respond to all our legal needs. I would highly recommend Mr Hans to all my colleagues for their legal needs.

Great labor lawyer

As President of the NYC Car Wash Owners Association, I am aware that Mr. Hans has represented many car wash owners in the New York area at the NYS Department of Labor as well as the federal courts in private lawsuits. His firm was diligent, experienced and most of all, he was able to reduce the Depa...rtment of Labor wage assessment imposed by that agency upon the business. Also, his firm knows how to resolve those federal lawsuits quickly and efficiently. He has proven to be an experienced and talented employment defense firm and many of our members have been fully protected by his firm.
