Stephen R Jaffe

This was the first time I needed a lawyer and I am extremely happy that I chose Stephen Jaffe. He agreed to take my unusual same-sex gender discrimination case even though it wouldn’t be a huge money-maker for him. He works with you directly, is easy to talk with, and genuinely cares about your legal situation. Stephen was immensely effective in obtaining a settlement that exceeded my expectations. His ability to take complex issues and communicate and negotiate on his clients behalf is his strength above his contemporaries. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, proactive, hard-working, and honest attorney, who is not afraid to fight for you, call Stephen Jaffe. I think you will be very satisfied.

I contacted Stephen Jaffe in the wake of wrongful conduct, retaliation, and other sensitive workplace issues. From the first conversation to the last, he was well-balanced, combining professional efficiency and acumen with a relaxed disposition and understanding. Mr. Jaffe was bold when the situation required, respectful of me and others in the situation, and attentive to the tense and shifting atmosphere. What I feared would be a long and arduous case resulted in the opposite: a swift and just resolution. If you are looking for an attorney who will be honest and direct, is confident and deliberate, and capable of deft negotiations, look no farther.

I was in need of advice from an employment lawyer regarding a severance package with a large SF firm. I scheduled an appointment to meet Mr. Jaffe and within the first 2 minutes of meeting him, I knew he was a compassionate, understanding lawyer. He took my case, even when it was clear it would be a difficult one. He was straightforward and let me know exactly what to expect. Throughout the entire process, Mr. Jaffe and his team made me feel completely involved and they never did anything without my approval or thoughts. The end result was a success due to Mr. Jaffe’s years of knowledge and experience. He fights for the underdog and is definitely my hero. If you want someone that is honest, caring and who has the utmost integrity, I recommend Stephen Jaffe!

Mr Jaffe was very knowledgeable and considerate. He knew exactly what to do and my situation with my employer was resolved after just one phone call!

Stephen Jaffe represents the noble side of the legal profession; beyond his exceptional integrity and legal acumen, Stephen brings compassion and context. We were new to the area and needed legal help in a time-sensitive situation. The case was one of first impression, and had many moving parts. It was also a case that became high profile and placed enormous pressures on our family. Despite it being outside his standard "sweet spot," Stephen was recommended by a friend-of-a-friend (notably, by someone who had litigated against Stephen and had tremendous respect for him). Stephen was able to find a simple solution in our highly charged and complicated situation. The other side used big dollars and dirty tactics, and yet we found a resolution. I recommend him with complete confidence.

Stephen Jaffe helped me negotiate my current employment contract. The draft contract proposed by my employer did not meet my needs and Stephen addressed each and every sentence in the contract to make sure that I got a fair deal. He was smart, knowledgeable, fair, and he did very a very high quality job. All I can say is that I will not sign any legal document without his advise! ....And, as a bonus, his fee was very reasonable!

Unable to comprehend certain elements of an agreement between me and my employer, I contacted Mr Jaffe for assistance. Within two hours, he telephoned and provided an efficient, concise and easy to understand description of the agreement. In the same manner, he recommended some portions of the agreement be removed or modified such that I receive fair protection with respect to any action my employer might take against me. Mr Jaffe's notion of service is hard to find in any industry. Highly recommended.

Stephen Jaffe is a person of incredible morality, dedication, and diligence. I had a very sensitive matter I had to deal with and had doubts that I would be able to find adequate representation as my case required going up against intimidating government bureaucracies. This did not stop Stephen Jaffe! He was highly recommended to me by other lawyers for being the best Employment and Litigation Lawyer around and when I told him of my unjust story he took it as a personal goal to ensure that I received the justice I deserved. I’ve worked with many lawyers and Stephen Jaffe is by far the best lawyer I have encountered! He diligently navigated the process, answered all my questions, and kept me thoroughly informed the entire way. Needless to say he won my case and even followed up with me afterwards to ensure that I did not have any unanswered questions. Stephen Jaffe’s compassion for justice is unparallel and I highly recommend him to anyone.

No words could begin to derive at the level of promptness, professionalism, dedication and work ethic of Mr. Jaffe. What a phenominal attorney. From the beginning of my case, until the very end and thereafter, so determined, polished and on top of all matters pertaining to my case. I live all the way across the United States, yet you would have never known. Mr. Jaffe kept me very well informed via email, phone, etc., despite the vast distance and change in time. Due to the sensitive nature of my case, he is also a confidant, counselor, and very understanding man. He always protected me and my feelings, as his client, telling me "I got this, don't worry". He is so knowledgeable......I took the time to read EVERY piece of work he prepared on my behalf and each time I was literally lost for words. He worked SO HARD, who wouldn't want someone like that on their side? The depth of his work screamed loudly at me that he must've stayed up many nights in preparation of my case. He quickly responded to all of my legal needs, questions, concerns, etc., in a more than timely manner. I don't think there was ever a time that he did not get back to me, almost immediately. I realize that I was not his only client at the time, however, I never felt that way, not once. Mr. Jaffe is extremely optimistic and many times had to boost my level of concerns and confidence. And always did just that. I was informed step by step of the way, very accurately, I must say. Mr. Jaffe exudes confidence, character, and charisma...something that was and is a top priority for me in the attorney selection process. The very minute I spoke to him, I KNEW I wanted and needed him and his experience to represent me. As a client of Mr. Jaffe's, allow me to say that I HIGHLY recommend his services and I would certainly utilize them again myself, should the need ever arise. I trust him, I value his every word because everything he told me, everything he promised me and everything he said he would do.....he certainly delivered. Mr. Jaffe and his team are great to work with. I am honored to have had the opportunity to have such a well respected, knowledgeable, pretigious man working on my behalf. Last but certainly not least, he's fair, he's honest, and he's a winner. I could never thank him enough. His deligent efforts have changed my life and both of my children's lives forever.

Stephen is the best attorney I have ever worked with. He takes the time to explain all aspects of the process and what matters most. He understands all of the intricacies of our court and mediator based system and has the respect of everyone involved. I cannot say enough about what a great experience I had working with Stephen.

Mr. Jaffe was great. He helped me resolve my legal matter quickly and efficiently. He put up with my endless questions, and had the patience of Job. I would recommend him to anyone.

I highly recommend Stephen Jaffe as an extremely professional, knowledgeable and compassionate lawyer. Stephen helped me and my family through really difficult times when no other attorney was willing to take our case. I firmly believe Stephen Jaffe has got what it takes to win your case!

When I heard Mr. Jaffe's voice on the phone, I knew right away I had a winner. Mr. Jaffe was very cordial and professional when I met him in person. He was thorough and efficient with my intake. He was sharp and quickly showed me the options in my job severance. Mr. Jaffe gave me well balance advice based on his many years of legal experience. We quickly worked effectively as a team. I found Mr. Jaffe straight forward, trustworthy, analytical, thorough, and highly skilled. But most impressive of all is that he was compassionate, with the understanding that those who sought him were often under tremendous stress and anguish. He put me at ease and I let him do all the negotiation. He was skillful at sensing the atmosphere and quickly took advantage of it. When he was in action, he was effective, deliberate and right on target. I was completely satisfied with the outcome of my case. I would high recommend Mr. Jaffe to anyone who might benefit from his legal service.

Stephen Jaffe took on my case when it seemed impossible to find representation. The case had great merit, yet no one else would go against the Goliath ($$$$). Mr Jaffe not only went up against them, he gave me the closure needed, as well as securing me the additional help I required to survive a horrific ordeal. I have no words to ever thank him fully, and my recommendation of his services could not be higher.

“Stephen's resolute and confident disposition, broad experience and profound knowledge of employment law, were a formidable combination of qualities to oppose which facilitated quick and smooth negotiations and the final resolution to my dispute with a big corporation. Highly recommended!!!”
