I had a very disappointing experience consulting with Charles Stiegler. From the start, it was clear he didn’t take the time to fully engage with my case. Despite providing my phone number in my initial email, he later emailed me back claiming I hadn’t provided it—showing that he didn’t even bother to read my email thoroughly. During our brief call, he spent most of the time trying to devalue my case, suggesting that the Department of Labor (DOL) would suffice. While I believe the DOL can effectively handle back pay claims, they are not equipped to address emotional distress, compensatory damages, or punitive damages—key components of my case. Retaliation claims with clear timelines showing adverse actions following a protected activity are widely recognized as having significant potential, sometimes amounting to substantial damages. Rather than assessing my well-documented claim objectively, he wasted time asking irrelevant questions about my work history. He seemed more interested in downplaying the value of my case than in offering meaningful advice or strategy. For someone with 18 years of experience, I expected a better understanding of retaliation claims and their potential. Unfortunately, the consultation was dismissive, unhelpful, and a waste of my time. I would not recommend his services to anyone seeking serious representation for complex cases.

Very rude and unprofessional. If he decides not to take a case he simply will not pick up his phone without explanation.

I am completely satisfied with the work that Mr. Stiegler did for me. He kept me informed throughout the process and did not over promise. I believe that his patience and temperament went a long way toward my case being successful. I would recommend Mr. Stiegler to anyone.

Charles represented me and a few of my co-workers from Plaquemines Parish Govt. We were not being paid time and a half the way we were suppose to and Charles took on the case. It was a dog fight and at times it did not look like we would be successful in winning our case , however this man NEVER GAVE UP AND FOUGHT LIKE A PITBULL. We won our case and now I am being properly paid by Plaquemines Parish Govt. Thank you Charles for not giving up when things were not going our way. I HIGHLY RECOMEND ANYBOY TO HIRE THIS LAW FIRM IF THEY HAVE ANY DISPUTE IN BEING PAID TIME AND A HALF FOR HOURS YOU WORK!!!!!! I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT CHARLES.

Charles worked with my organization on several employment matters. He was both very knowledgeable about the law and always fully up to speed on the facts of our cases. His advice was always spot-on and appreciated.

Charles represented my organization in a wide variety of employment issues. He was very knowledgeable and did a great job balancing legal risk with operational needs. Our leadership team respected and valued Charles' advice because of this. I highly recommend Charles for any labor law matters.

I worked with Charles on an ongoing basis in employment and litigation matters and highly recommend him. He is diligent, hard working and provides high quality representation at a reasonable cost.

I work as an HR professional and I worked with Charles for a couple of years. Charles is a very competent labor attorney and a quality individual. Noticeably intelligent, hardworking and highly ethical. He fights for his clients, but does so with integrity.
