I started to work with Mr.Zouras and his team on a Class action case in 2017. During the initial interview,he clearly explained the law and the rights of the employees. He also pointed out what law the employer has violated. Mr.Zouras is so patient, he answered all the questions I have. We finally won the case with a settlement that benefited a lot of the employees. Mr.Zouras is a tough warrior. Our case lasted almost four years, whenever I sent him an email for a question of the case, he will response me in minutes. I know we are in the good hands. Mr.Zouras always keep me updates of the case status,he is so skillful and knowledgeable. I'm so glad that I have hired the right lawyer who is the best in Chicago. Thank you.Jim. Thank you so much for your hard work. Much appreciated.
I didn't believe I had a good case until Mr. Zouras explained the laws and rights of employees, and the duties employers must guarantee, by law.
Once the initial proceeding got moving, and victory was in sight, I knew I was with the right firm. I trusted in the skills, and knowledge of my attorneys, and achieved more by trusting in the process, and perhaps set a precedent for other employers that seek to violate employees vital information.

27 years
I am a founder and principal of Stephan Zouras, LLP, a Chicago-based law firm which concentrates in representing people in Illinois and throughout the United States in class, collective and individual wage and hour litigation, catastrophic personal injury, and other complex litigation. In my over 20 years of practice, I have been appointed lead or co-lead counsel in scores of complex wage and hour class and collective actions which have collectively resulted in a total recovery of more than $100 million for over 100,000 individuals. My published cases in the area of wage and hour employment law exceed 100 decisions from jurisdictions in at least 10 states. I have tried over a dozen major jury trials and appeared as lead counsel in at least 14 appeals in federal and state court. I was also named an Illinois "Super Lawyer" in every consecutive year since 2009, a distinction given to no more than 5% of the lawyers in the state.

Class Action Settlement
I worked with Jim Zouras as well as Teresa Becvar in a class action and won with a settlement that benefited a large group of fellow former employees. Communication was always very good and they were always helpful in answering any questions as well as preparing me for what was coming and what to expect.
