Larry J. Stein is very well-spoken, insightful, incredibly sharp, and quick-witted, and synthesizes volumes of case information with precision. He readily explained legal aspects of the case, and various strategies to resolve it. He has won at the Supreme Court level and is well versed to inform and prep me on depositions, witnesses, hearings, and mediation. This gentleman is trustworthy and will do what it takes in expert fashion to get you where you want to legally go. It was easy to communicate with Larry and everything he said made sense, and was spoken with professionalism and compassion. His partner Rosa also provided highly commendable support. I was confident I had outstanding legal representation and highly recommend Larry J. Stein.

I hired Ms. Koppel to represent me in a complex Federal litigation case. I found her to be very knowledgeable and great at explaining complicated bureaucratic laws, regulations, policies, and processes. Because she is highly organized, she was always prepared for our meetings, mediation sessions, and settlement discussions. She is also highly ethical and trustworthy. I also found her to be very responsive and reliable outside of our scheduled meetings. Additionally, she was able to handle difficult conversations with me, like when she though that we did not have a strong position or that we needed to pivot on a certain issue. Ms. Koppel also advocated strongly for me. Overall, if I had to hire an attorney again, I would not hesitate, and I would re-hire Ms. Koppel. Her services are invaluable. She is terrific. If you are in need of an attorney with experience in Federal employment law, look no further, and hire Ms. Koppel.

Her guidance and strategic advice were invaluable in helping me comprehend the nuances of my case and the potential legal avenues available to me. Furthermore, Rosa"s responsiveness throughout the entire process were commendable. Besides her remarkable legal acumen, she is a great human being with a lot of compassion. It is without hesitation that I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking an EEOC/Labor and Employment attorney.

I am in a senior management role with the Federal government. I retained the services of Ms Rosa Koppel, an attorney with the Law Offices of Larry J. Stein, L.L.C., on two separate occasions concerning employment issues relating to discrimination and retaliation in the workplace. When dealing with employment law matters it can be very stressful and it helps to have a calm, experienced voice on your side. Ms. Koppel was an understanding and experienced attorney who listened and helped me navigate the craziness that I found myself in. She was very thorough and methodical in her determination to get at the bottom of the issues . She was always prompt in her responses to time sensitive matters and the services I received from her were outstanding. I highly recommend Ms. Koppel for she was definitely the solution I needed to fight issues that were impossible to fight alone.

I retained Larry Stein in 2020 to represent me in my EEO case, which continued for 20 months. I was incredibly impressed with Larry’s attentiveness as I summarized the issues I was experiencing with my agency. He explained the law and offered me insights about whether I had a viable case. Larry provided me with exceptional representation. He was a consummate professional who made himself available even after regular working hours. He has a strong character and demonstrates empathy with his clients. Given his high-level of experience, I felt comfortable and confident when relying on his professional judgment. I trusted Larry to make the right decision, and he always did. We eventually reached a resolution in my case in my favor thanks to Larry’s dedication and hard work.

I employed Ms. Koppel to represent me in my EO cases. I received first-rate legal representation. Her professionalism is remarkable, along with her knowledge and execution of the law.

After interviewing several attorneys, I felt most comfortable with Ms. Koppel. She also came very highly recommended by another attorney who had worked with her in the past. In addition to her brilliant legal mind, she has excellent interpersonal skills. When I was upset and stressed, she was calm and steady. She listened to my concerns and provided reasonable advice on a course of action for my case. My case reached a reasonable conclusion thanks to Ms. Koppel’s great work.

We retained Mr. Stein roughly three years. My husbands case involved a federal EEO complaint. From the start, Mr. Stein made a large volume of information, easy to comprehend. His analytical ability, attention to detail, logical reasoning, persuasiveness and sound judgment when problems and unique situations arose is what won our case! We were pleased with the results and without question endorse and highly recommend his office to others seeking the appropriate representation!

I am in the midst of a discrimination/whistleblower case. It’s been a frustrating and an emotionally taxing case. I engaged Larry and his legal expertise to navigate this case. The best decision ever I made. He is a consummate professional with vast experience, who provides sound legal advice. When he disagrees with an approach, he explains in detail the legal underpinnings for his recommendation. Always respectful, when he disagrees, he is never disagreeable. Equally important, and testament to his emotional intelligence, he has also helped me navigate the emotive side of the case. Highly responsive and flexible, and in control of the legal process, he leads with a calm demeanor. He channels the case and our energies on the big-picture goals and we are always way ahead of the deadlines. I believe the highest accolade I can convey is that he is an honorable attorney, whom one can trust easily. And with a considerate sense of humor:) I HIGHLY recommend Larry Stein.

Larry was a good lawyer and highly experienced! He did a great job dealing w/ Agency council on all fronts. He was honest and straight forward. He communicated w/ me on progress and was clear on any necessary information from me and timelines. I have already recommended him to several others in need of similar guidance. He did help settle my case, which ended a more than positive outcome!

I was in desperate need of a reasonable, knowledgeable and effective attorney in a short time frame. I reached out on Facebook for recommendations. I spoke with 3 attorneys, however it was Larry's knowledge and stern characteristics that drew me to him. For equal employment rights; his actions are necessary. I knew his straight-forward personality was geniune which made me trust that he would fairly represent my case. I retained him a day before my hearing, however you couldn't tell the way he presented my case. It was the initial hearing, however I was so impressed and satisfied that all my worrying vanished. It's sad that employees have to pay upfront for justice, however Larry was financially understanding and his services was well worth the cost. Im so glad I trusted the recommendation. I received justice and also estsblished a friendship with the person who recommended him. I highly recommend Larry Stein to anyone who's seeking assistance.

I very rarely write reviews but felt compelled to share my experience with Rosa. I am a government employee who was fed up with the discrimination I experienced in my place of employment. My case was extremely complex and stressful. During the entire process Rosa was always professional, compassionate and trustworthy. She did an excellent job in explaining the law as it pertained to my case but more importantly she won my case!!!!!! Rosa is an awesome attorney and I highly recommend her.

I am a licensed attorney, but only a fool is her own attorney. I retained Ms. Koppel to represent me in a very high-level and complex discrimination case. Litigation is stressful when it is about you - and you want someone who will handle what needs to be done effectively, representing you with integrity and true grit. Ms. Koppel has proven herself to be that kind of outstanding counsel. As an attorney, I can definitively tell who actually provides top quality advice and who is less effective. Ms. Koppel is the best of the best. She is an expert in her field. She is responsive to me, opposing counsel, and the judge. She is kind and honest with me, and very direct in making our points to others. Ms. Koppel is an outstanding thinker, strategist and writer. Her memory for facts is incredible. I have already referred friends to her, who now deeply respect and trust her, as I do. I am certain that I have one of the most brilliant and effective attorneys in the employment law field.

I am pleased to share this testimonial for Larry J. Stein. Larry is a knowledgeable, competent, honest, and results-oriented attorney. He is a respected expert with over four decades of experience. What is particularly noteworthy is his compassionate, client-focused manner. I was referred to Larry by someone who I highly respect. Not long after my initial introduction, I felt like I'd known him for a long time. Larry worked diligently and patiently to ensure my understanding of the legal process, case intricacies, and available options for a fair and just outcome. Expect him to “keep it real.” He will tell you what you need to hear; no misrepresenting or sugar-coating the truth. The attorney-client engagement was more relational (client-focused) than transactional (fee-focused); like a trusted friend who has your best interest at heart. I am very pleased and highly recommend Larry J. Stein. He’s simply one the best!

We had a terribly incompetent Mediator. Mr. Stein's even temperament was the sole reason for allowing settlement negotiations to continue and be resolved. Had he not done that, my legal costs would've been compounded by 10's of thousands.

I was referred to Larry J. Stein, Esquire, by an attorney who had been his boss. Mr. Stein greatly exceeded my expectations. He was outstanding in the hearing for my Workers Compensation case. We won this case. In my Equal Employment Opportunity and Equal Pay Act discrimination court cases, he was superb. All of these cases ended successfully to my satisfaction. {para}Mr. Stein was very knowledgeable, always well prepared and hard working. He had a very calming and reassuring demeanor, but he came off as a “Bull Dog” when it was necessary. It made me feel comfortable and confident that I had a true “Champion” defending me. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Stein to anyone who needed legal representation. Thank you, Larry for being in my corner.
