Stephen T. Fieweger

I see this is a common theme here, so if you want in on a lawsuit against Steve, contact me at [email protected]. Despite numerous requests to return the thousands he stole after losing his law license in 2017-18 for having an inappropriate relationship with an intern, Steve has failed to do so... and even had the balls to send me a letter stating he would have me arrested if I tried contacting him again. Steve is a disgrace of a human being. If you want in on the lawsuit, again please message me at: [email protected]

Stephen Fieweger is amazing! He won my case in less than 2 months. My old lawyer took 2 years. He was so easy to work with. I am eternally grateful to have such a great person on my side. He always returned calls and answered any questions. He worked very hard on my case and knew exactly what he was ...doing.

Mr. Fieweger was highly recommended to me. I was not disappointed. He was well versed, communicated effectively, and was able to resolve my issue fairly. His charming and quirky secretary's warmth and kindness will not soon be forgotten. I hope to never need another lawyer, but if I do I will definit...ely choose him again.

I hired this Attorney when he was with a large Firm in Illinois, and again when he was on his own in Iowa. I will blame myself for expecting him to provide better service the 2nd time. Fieweger failed to submit my first EEO Case to IL Federal District Court in a timely manner (in 2017), and my case... was dismissed with prejudice in 2018. He was suspended in 2018 and handed my 2 EEO Cases off to another attorney, who had no experience with Employment Law (unbeknownst to me). I demanded that the other Attorney be removed, but neither the other Counsel nor Fieweger took any action, until Fieweger's 6-month suspension had ended. Fieweger was also representing me in a Federal, quasi-judicial forum, the Merit Systems Protection Board, as I was terminated from Federal Employment in late 2017. He recommended that I not use "Reliance on Counsel" as an affirmative defense, so that he could get out of testifying. The judge ruled that I could not have reasonably believed that I was honest during an Employment Investigation (Lack of Candor), although I consulted with Fieweger prior to answering Federal Employment questionnaires and took his advice to heart. Fieweger even wrote a letter, stating that he had advised me to answer the questionnaires as I had answered them, and then he recommended that we change course (after I was fired and during the Discovery process). Unfortunately, suing him for malpractice is not a viable option, due to Illinois' statute of limitations, burden of proof (case within a case), etc. In years past, I referred multiple coworkers to him, and I am truly sorry that I did. I asked the Illinois Attorney Disciplinary and Registration Commission to investigate his behavior. They claim they did, but did not refer the case to a Disciplinary Board. Give this attorney a WIDE berth! Stay away!

When I hired him, I had already worked my case pro se for 2 years and I was just about to get released from prison and I had a lot on my plate so I decided to hire a lawyer. I've had him for a year now and I can't even tell you what he did! The only thing I know he did, which I could have done, was s...end in our answers for summary judgment on exhaustion. Of course it was a home run but not because of what he did but because of what the defendants didn't do! "They had no foundation." "They contradict themselves." Etc.. He never called me one time in a year! Not once!!! And I had to do my interrogatories all by myself and since he works really far from me, it was really hard to meet and talk. He is the only one who works at his firm, besides his paralegal/ secretary and it is very difficult to call him!
