I had a great experience working with Steven Sack during my recent job separation. He was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome for me. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to secure additional benefits beyond my original severance package, for which I am truly grateful. Steven guided me through the entire process with clear communication and support, making a challenging situation much easier. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a dedicated and effective advocate!

Highly professional and a wonderful attorney. Thank you.

Chris MacMurray

Steve was amazing to work with. He is always available and follows up on email or phone calls immediately The process was fast and painless, and he helped me understand a number of things that I did not. I would recommend him highly, and he will be my sole source for employment law going forward. Thank You Steve!

Steven was reliable, straightforward, empathetic, honest, dependable and pushed for what I asked for in my agreement with my employer. I thought his prices were reasonable. I felt like I was in good hands throughout a terrible work situation. Highly recommend his services!

My experience with Steven Sack was similar to those that many others have had with him before. Honest, caring, communicative, and exceedingly knowledgeable. My legal troubles caused me a few sleepless nights and he was a Godsend in resolving my legal matter. He was my advocate through and through. If you are dealing with any issues regarding employment law, go to Steven!

Amazing lawyer, an even better person. He is straight and to the point, looking for the best for his clients. If you don't hire him, you're making a mistake
