Study Finds Employment Litigation Reached Seven Year High

According to a study by Lex Machina, federal employment litigation has reached the highest levels they have been in seven years, since before the COVID-19 pandemic. This dramatic increase in litigation has been attributed to an increase in both discrimination cases and disability accommodation cases, which have risen dramatically since 2018. This shift is attributed partly to an increase of COVID-related disability claims, as well as other shifts in the law that have made it easier to sue for employment discrimination.

    I can't recommend Steven Sack highly enough. He is an exceptional employment lawyer—knowledgeable, strategic, responsive, and incredibly effective. From our first conversation, I felt confident that I was in the best possible hands.

    Steven achieved an outcome that far exceeded my expectations and brought an enormous sense of relief during an incredibly stressful time. His expertise, professionalism, and ability to navigate a difficult employment matter were truly outstanding.

    If you're looking for an employment attorney who is experienced, compassionate, and delivers results, I would wholeheartedly recommend Steven Sack.
    Alexandra Lombardo
    From my very first conversation with Steven, I knew I was in good hands. He took the time to truly listen to my situation, made me feel heard, and immediately gave me confidence that I had the right team on my side during one of the most difficult times in my life. One gesture that I’ll never forget was when he sent me a copy of his book with a thoughtful handwritten note. It wasn’t something he had to do, but it showed the kind of person he is and how much he genuinely cares about the people he represents. His guidance went far beyond legal advice. I can’t say enough about how grateful I am for Steven and the decades he has dedicated to advocating for his clients. It’s clear that this isn’t just a profession for him. He truly cares about helping people move forward. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been one of his clients, and it was an honor to work with him. I’m deeply grateful for everything he did for me and would recommend him without hesitation.
