Exceptional Support During a Difficult Time

Scott Stillman was a huge help to me during an incredibly difficult time. I was dealing with a wrongful termination situation while on approved medical leave for stage IV cancer treatment, and Scott was responsive, thoughtful, and practical from the start. He took the time to review my documents, hel...ped me think through my options, and gave clear guidance on how to communicate with my employer. Through his support, I was able to secure meaningful severance benefits, COBRA coverage, and continuation of LTD benefits, which made a real difference for me and my family during a very stressful chapter. I’m truly grateful for his help and would absolutely recommend him to anyone dealing with employment law issues, especially in complex or high-stakes situations.

Scott Is an Outstanding Choice for a California Employment Attorney

Having previously worked at the same firm together, I can wholeheartedly recommend Scott to handle any employment matter, no matter how complex or challenging it may be. One of Scott's standout qualities is his ability to navigate challenging situations for his clients with grace and precision. Emplo...yment law can often be a maze of complexities, but Scott has an innate talent for problem-solving. He approaches each case with a strategic mindset, carefully analyzing every detail and finding innovative solutions to even the most intricate issues. Scott is very knowledgeable in the field of employment law and constantly stays updated on the latest developments and legal precedents. This depth of understanding is a tremendous asset in achieving favorable outcomes for his clients. Finally, as an employment lawyer myself, I can confidently say that I would want Scott in my corner if I ever faced an employment issue. His work ethic, commitment to justice, client-centric approach, and his exceptional legal skills make him an outstanding choice for anyone seeking representation in employment matters.

I can’t recommend Scott highly enough! As a partner in a financial services firm, I consulted with Scott to seek advice on a challenging situation I was facing at work.

I greatly appreciated how he patiently addressed all my questions, ensuring I had a thorough understanding of my rights and options. His advice was practical, realistic, and tailored to my unique circumstances, which gave me the confidence to navigate the situation more effectively. If you find yourself in need of an exceptional employment attorney, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Scott.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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). He's a staunch advocate for workers, he knows his stuff, and he does not phone it in -- he works his hardest for his clients and leaves no stone unturned. I recommend him to everyone without hesitation."
