Employment Discrimination

Dear Attorney Michael, Thank you so much for everything you have done for me in my employment discrimination case. After first speaking with you and seeing how professional and knowledgeable you are made me feel confident that you would be the right attorney to represent me. It was never a hassle t...o get in touch directly with you and I did appreciate your constant contacts even after the settlement making sure that everything was back in place. The outcome of my case was far better than what I had expected. You have done an amazing job and I would recommend you to anyone looking for a great lawyer. Thank you again for everything you have done for me.

Chief Operating Officer

Attorney Stephens assisted me as an executive in a corporate matter within a mid-sized organization that was delicate in nature . His attention to detail, depth both in knowledge in terms of corporate culture was above par...Additionally, his education, training, certifications and as an SPHR couple...d with being an experienced HR attorney was critical at least with my case. I would and have referred a couple of folks to him as he represented my case well and we were fortunate because of his intellectual ability while crafty communication skills led to a successful win that paid in large dividends... I am still reaping the rewards of his contributions in my case... If I needed him again, it would be a no brainer.

Integrity, Expert, Innovative and Relationship Focused

It is seldom that you find legal representation with integrity, results driven, and innovative through the use of technology to provide proficiency in handling multiple diverse cases. Michael Stephens demonstrates each of these critical attributes for his clients during the most challenging economic...al times. More importantly, his rare style of building and maintaining a strong client relationship is a key attribute I admire most. I felt connected and informed throughout the entire engagement. I would highly recommend his legal and consultation services.

Experience, Knowledge, Empathy

I've had the pleasure of counting on Michael Stephens to help me with different legal issues related to my business. Michael has always been sympathetic to my problems and very knowledgeable. His professional fees have always been fair. I couldn't recommend Michael more as an attorney and as a friend....
