"As a fellow member of the plaintiff-side employment bar, I cannot recommend Scott Stillman more highly. He is incredibly knowledgeable, strategic, and insightful about all aspects of representing plaintiffs who have been wronged by their employers - whether that be due to retaliation, failure to accommodate, or good old-fashioned wage theft (i.e. misclassifying or failing to pay overtime).

I recommend him to everyone without hesitation."
