A Master at his Legal Craft!

Steven Mitchell Sack is the best Employment and Labor lawyer in New York City. As a successful business owner for the past 33 years, I have hired him for different cases. Mr. Sack has handled numerous cases for me and won each one with a dedication and support that was relieving, impressive and cost ...effective. After a complimentary consultation with him he was able to take my cases and give me a timely result! Most lawyers drag cases on. Mr Sack adds his Midas touch to legal matters and I have referred many business colleagues that were just as happy. He is a very nice person and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend him!!! Look no more!!! Employer or Employee Problems......This man is an expert!

Outstanding! A lawyer with human compassion...

During a horrific ordeal approximately four and one half years ago, I was depressed anxious and beside myself. I was in desperate need of an attorney. I was seeking out a lawyer who I could completely trust, be compassionate and understanding of the mental and emotional anguish that I was feeling at... the time. A lawyer who was professional and understood the specific law and its processes. When I didn't know who, what or where to turn to, I reached out to a friend and was referred to Steven Sack. Steven was all the things I hoped and wished for in an attorney. He was a godsend! During the consultation Steven patiently and intensively listened to what I had to say. Steven was not dismissive or crude to the things I was explaining to him. He however, was focused and allowed me to state my situation. In a professional manner, Steven inquired about the facts and evidence that I could offer to substantiate my case. Steven carefully analyzed and reviewed the information I had in my possession. His preliminary assessment was relieving. He in his professional wisdom stated to me that indeed there was a legitimate case. Steven's encouragement and moral support made feel human and worthy again. He then indicated the steps that we're going to be necessary to take moving forward. We began to pursue legal action. It was important to both Steven and I to consistently communicate telephonically and or via email. Steven was always made himself available to speak to me at any given time. Whenever, I had doubts or a question Steven gave me moral and professional support. I am happy to say that after two years of diligently working my case, that it was gratifyingly concluded. In conclusion...when you find a dedicated and sincere attorney who willingly gives his/her all to fight for a righteous cause, it is a wonderful feeling when you emerge victoriously. I wish you the very best in your legal endeavors. Godspeed to you always!

NST General Counsel

I have been a member of the National Shoe Travelers (NST) Organization for several years now and have never given a thought about needing a lawyer. When I found out that my company was letting me go a week before Christmas, Mr. Steven M. Sack was the first person I called. What was impressive is ...that Steven answered my phone call to him personally. What was even more impressive is that he gave me specific details and instructions as to what was going to happen and what to do next. I followed his instructions to the letter and less than 3 weeks, he was able to negotiate a more than satisfactory settlement towards my separation agreement with my former company. Mr. Sack answered every phone call, text message and email that I sent to him giving me assurance that I was in "good hands" and I couldn't agree with that statement more. He is an exceptional attorney and I recommend that you contact him immediately if you're ever in the same situation I was in. I also recommend that you read his book "THE EMPLOYEE RIGHTS HANDBOOK". It's a little bit of a read but quite an eye opener. Thank you, Steven for your help. I am forever grateful for your services.

Steven is a Game changer

I first learned about Steven from a father on my daughter's soccer team who was a commissioned sales rep in the ski business and Steven was their trade association attorney. Steven made sure the reps were being treated fairly, and Dave told me that Steven was the best employment lawyer I would ever ...meet in my life, fair honest and truly just a nice person. It wasn't until several years later that I needed Steven's services for some employment contract issues I was having. I got Steven's number from from Dave and called Steven. He answered his phone, asked me a couple questions regarding my situation and told me to bring all my documents to his Park Avenue office for a consultation to see if he could help me. We had a very nice meeting and he thought I had a good case, I hired Steven on the spot. Steven has one simple rule; he does what he says he is going to do, if he says he is going to call you at 8:00 in the morning you get his call at 8:00 in the morning. My case was somewhat complicated and was divided in to two parts. Steven negotiated a huge settlement for the first part of my case with in the first 6 months. He doesn't miss a trick and his attention to detail is second to none. Steven told me early on in my case if we got a settlement he would give me back the retainer I paid him and sure enough the day the first settlements checks came in Steven handed me a check for the retainer I paid. I have been working with Steven for more that a year now and I view him as a friend. I met one of his two sons who is a fine young man and a credit to Steven who is a true family man and a down to earth person, he is the real thing. He cares and believes about what he does, he is always honest, helpful and trustworthy. We are still working very closely together on the second part of my case. He has a unique tactic to obtain and collect information about the case. Steven gave me a large series of questions to answer. detailing everything about me and my case even to the detail of how I met my wife. We worked together for hours after I answered the questions. He learned every detail about my case, he knew every nuance and he had it all documented. He told me that I had to work hard on the answers but committed that this process would be extremely helpful later on in my case. We also needed to secure some of my evidence with a company who does a chain of custody and Steven found the top company on the east coast who offers this service. I also needed to get the advise of a forensic account and Steven got me a consultation with a top notch firm at a very fair price. He always concerns himself with the money I have to spend on my case, making sure that I get the best value for my dollar. Steven also never lets me forget that I am the client and that he works for me. Steven has the highest degree of ethics, morals and the goodness of human character. Steve is always working and has a work ethic that you wouldn't believe, he starts early in the morning until late at night, and it is not uncommon to spent hours together on my case on any given Sunday, it come down to what ever it takes to get the job done, Steven is with me every step of the way. We still have a long road ahead of us with my case and his level of energy is like the first night we met. He still takes my call when ever I call and makes me feel like I am his only client and my case is the most important case he has. I have been blessed to be able to develop the relationship that I have with Steven and feel that working with him will be a game changer in my life. Steven is very good at what he does and is a credit to the law profession.
