I had the privilege of being represented by Mr. Stern during two federal criminal proceedings, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. True to his last name, Mr. Stern is refreshingly direct and candid, never one to sugarcoat the realities of the situation. This honesty is paired with an unwaveringcommitment to his clients that extends well beyond the typical 9-to-5 hours. From our very first meeting, it was clear that Mr. Stern genuinely cares about his clients and their cases. He took the time to thoroughly understand my situation, providing clear guidance and strategies tailored to my needs. His extensive experience in federal criminal law is evident, and his results speak volumes about his capabilities. In a field where trust and expertise are paramount, Mr. Stern stands out as a dedicated advocate who fights tirelessly and zealously for his clients. I am incredibly grateful for his support and would recommend him 12 times out of 10.

Mister Stern, as part of seeking heirs to my deceased mother's estate, chose to call me at 11:30pm to question me, waking both myself and my wife. His office hours are clearly listed as 9am-5pm, yet he chose to call me long after hours on a day his office hadn't even been open. When I finally spoke to him (at 7:30 the following morning,) he explained that he had "needed to get this done". This was only relevant to me because the court hearing in which he needed to submit his findings was at 10:00am - only 2.5 hours after we spoke, and 10.5 hours after his initial call. While there are people who thrive under "last minute pressure", I personally will not hire an attorney who fits into that mold, or is too disorganized or inefficient to gather data in a more timely manner.

Mr. Stern was recommended to me by another attorney who did not deal with my particular situation which is a compliment in my opinion when your peers are willing to do so. From the first time I spoke to Mr. Stern he made me feel at ease and was very helpful and engaged. He was always available when I needed him and will certainly call on him again should the need arise. Highly recommended.

We haven't had much experience with having to use a lawyer before. Mr. Stern is very blunt, and I found that refreshing. Lawyers seem to not be as direct/specific, using more legal terms with a lot of vagueness.

I am not pleased with the way I was treated. He quit because I could not get him to return my calls. He just quit right when I needed him the most.
