I have been representing clients in employment and labor matters for over 30 years, including litigation. In addition to my base of employee and union clients, I have represented several joint employee-employer trusts regulated by ERISA. I also provide proactive labor and employment counseling to employers.
I am an MIT graduate and received my law degree from New York University Law School. I began my legal career with the National Labor Relations Board, and served as an attorney in the NLRB’s Washington D.C. and Seattle, Washington, offices from 1967 to 1974. I then went into private practice. In 1981 I co-founded the law firm that has become Frank Freed Subit & Thomas.
For over 25 years I have served on the planning committee of the Pacific Coast Labor and Employment Law Conference, which annually produces a nationally recognized two day seminar for labor and employment lawyers. I have also served as a mediator.
My approach to client representation is to find the correct mix of advice to the client, aggressive representation in presentations to the other side, and litigation that works for the case and the client.
I come from a family of lawyers, including my father, wife Kay, sister and brother-in-law. My two children, Jeremy and Mikaela, are not lawyers, although they are articulate and were argumentative at times when they were young.

Best attorney ever!
So i had a very sticky situation with a top fortune 500 company in the retail business. I won't name the company let's just say there a store in about every city of the USA. This company had back door meeting on how to get rid of me with all its top management within the store. I came to Steve. He li...
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have known Steve for about twenty years. We often consult when his practice, which is primarily employment law, with some employee benefits issues, intersects with my practice, which is devoted exclusively to employee benefits. For the past two years, I have been co-counsel with Steve on a large class action involving pension benefits for state employees. In all my dealings with Steve, I have noted that he is well-organized, with a useful combination of common sense and nuanced legal analysis. I am also impressed by his ability to maintain constructive relationships with opposing counsel, without compromising his strong commitment to his clients' interests. I would enthusiastically recommend Steve to anyone with an employment or empoyee benefits issue."
