Talented, experienced attorney

I’m so grateful that a colleague referred me to Stephen. The moment when I realized I needed legal input was challenging, and Stephen’s calm, knowledgeable demeanor brought a much-needed steadying influence during difficult circumstances. Stephen immediately understood my situation, concisely articul...ated the issues involved, provided options and proposed a timeline for making a decision. I’m grateful for his knowledgeable guidance and encourage others to seek his counsel.

Awesome Attorney

Stephen was the ideal attorney. He responded to me in a timely manner, was a wealth of information, and was open in sharing his experiences while guiding me on my situation. I had sent out initial requests for consultation to a few attorneys on Avvo, some never responded, others asked me to fill ...out long intake questionnaires, and then never responded, another emailed me that there wasn't enough money in it for him to do a consult. These were all unhelpful and frustrating. Stephen was the exception. He phoned me, was respectful, attentive, took notes, and responded articulately to each point I raised. I never felt rushed, but rather was pleasantly surprised by his knowledge and willingness to share information. He was both honest, and credible. I would definitely hire him, and recommend hiring him.

Excellent attorney

Stephen helped me with an employment issue. He is exactly what you need from an attorney in a stressful situation--smart, responsive, empathetic and decisive. He answers all your questions and patiently explains everything related to your case. He helped me successfully resolve my issue and I highly ...recommend him if you need counsel.

Stephen is a great employment litigator!

I was referred to Stephen from another attorney and during a most difficult time. We had never had any of these types of issues previously and I found him to be most helpful. He took a look at the whole case comprehensively and handled it with expertise. Stephen was able to defend us from what co...uld have been a long drawn out and costly litigation – it is important that he also had a great track record of successfully defending plaintiffs as well as defendants. I found his calm and sensible demeanor including his knowledge of the law with respect to employment litigation to be invaluable. He is always honest and upfront and will tell you the truth in terms of which routes are best to get most favorable and least expensive resolutions. In giving advice, he steers his clients down the high road. I feel like he was looking out for my company’s best interest and he certainly earned my respect and trust. I would recommend him to anyone who need a competent employment litigator.

Outstanding service!

We first contacted Mr. Ilg for a second opinion after our employment law-related dispute had less than favorable progress and was practically stalling. Mr. Ilg reviewed our case and provided a thorough response analyzing the development so far and points that should have been considered. After a ph...one consultation, we moved with the plan to retain Mr. Ilg as our new representative to help with the remainder of this case. We had a few additional communications via emails and over the phone with Mr. Ilg to round out the process and build a strategy for moving forward. During every one of those, Mr. Ilg was very professional, thorough, and extremely knowledgeable in employment law. He did an outstanding job analyzing our case and was able to reduce the stress for us while we plan how to continue with our legal battle. Mr. Ilg also made sure to explained potential costs and remained neutral in his opinion so we could do a cost-benefit analysis before deciding whether to proceed. Mr. Ilg was always quick to respond to us either by email or phone. We had been lucky enough as due to some emerging circumstance, the case was settled by an employer before we had to move forward with additional litigation. Still, we absolutely feel that if you are involved in litigation and needing an excellent employment law attorney, we'd highly recommend Mr. Ilg to represent you. He invests in his clients and is thorough in his work. Thank you again for all your hard work, Mr. Ilg!

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.
