Great guidance for employment/non-compete agreements

Stephen was recommended to me by a friend and I will always be greatful for his help and guidance as I entered into a new job situation. Stephen was responsive and knowledgable regarding employment law and associated confidentiality/non compete documents and provided me with actionable items to help... me understand and protect myself against future legal entanglements. Stephen was also very compassionate and had a great "bedside" manner. Thanks Stephen for all your help!

Highly Recommend for M&A and Business Transactions

I worked with Steve when he was the EVP/General Counsel of PRC. Of key importance was the work on acquisitions, leading our team through due diligence and negotiation processes several times. His understanding of businesses extended well beyond the legal aspects and was valuable in all respects. Even... through some difficult circumstances, Steve's perseverance prevailed to accomplish the tasks and goals. A valuable team member.

Great Business, Financial and M&A Advisor and Attorney

During 2004 and 2005, Steve Ferber was working for me as a legal and M&A advisor representing my family’s interest in the sale of our 40 year old family owned business, Catalano’s Nurses Registry, Inc. During this period, Steve was responsible for the valuation of the company and negotiating on our b...ehalf with a significant private equity firm in the healthcare space. I am pleased to tell you that because of Steve, we were able to close on a deal that was very lucrative and are now enjoying our retirement. Steve is a man of integrity that is both knowledgeable and professional.

Very Positive Experience on Employment Matter, Great Negotiation Skills

Stephen provided excellent legal counsel for an employment contract matter. I was impressed by his negotiation skills which he used to my benefit while working effectively with the employer. Stephen was fantastic to work with and I recommend him highly.

Solid M&A Attorney and Advisor

As an equity investor, board member and advisor to Caregiver Services, I worked closely with Steve in his capacity as M&A attorney and advisor to Catalano’s Nurses Registry – a business CSI acquired in 2004. Steve was highly effective in managing a complex M&A transaction on behalf of this closely he...ld, family-owned business. Steve was particularly adept at navigating his client through the due diligence and negotiation process, and he was an important contributor toward its successful conclusion.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

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.
