Schotter Millican, LLP

I had a pleasure to work with Schotter Millican. Janina and Justyna answered all my questions and made sure I felt supported every step of the way. Thanks to their hard work and dedication I was able to receive the awards. They fought for my rights and never backed down. I appreciate everything Schotter Millican did for me. ДУЖЕ дякую

Usually dealing with a lawfirm you should feel welcomed and confident, however i cant say i would use this firm again because when questioned by the attorney he was impatient and rude, i was stuck and hesistant because it felt as if he was in court or on the phones fighting the otherside, ive delt with many attorneys in different situations and never felt confused, it was to the point i did not even bother calling him back.. anyone can have a bad day but if im coming to you as a client thats business im bringing you, i didnt call for a favor but anyhow, its been a while but i just had to leave a review.

Every Lawyer Turned Me Away Except Geoffrey Schotter.

When my employer, New York State, broke me under extreme conditions, pushing me into an acute mental health crisis, Geoffrey Schotter was the one who stepped in.

I had already reached out to multiple attorneys. Every single one turned me away. Not because my case wasn’t real, but because it was too difficult, too risky, too untested. Geoffrey was the last lawyer I contacted before I was ready to represent myself. He was my last hope. And, as it turned out, he was the most important one.

He didn’t just take my case. He examined every detail, anticipated every counterargument, and built something undeniable. He refused to let my suffering be dismissed as “just part of the job.”

Beyond Representation: A Relentless Pursuit of Justice

What sets Geoffrey apart is that he doesn’t just argue a case, he builds it with precision.

Every possible counterargument? Anticipated and dismantled.

Every potential weak point? Reinforced before it could be challenged.

By the time we got to summation, there was no shaky ground left to stand on.

And he didn’t just take one route; he gave my case multiple paths to victory.

A clear argument for my claim as a work-related accident.

A strategic foundation for establishing it as an occupational disease if needed.

A preemptive dismantling of any claim that my breakdown was a lawful personnel action.

Each argument stood on its own, but together, they created something undeniable.

Sharp, Focused, and Completely Unapologetic

Geoffrey can be snappy, short, frustrated, and even frustrating at times. But that’s what it takes to push the law forward.

When you’re forcing the system to acknowledge its failures, when you’re fighting for something that hasn’t been fought before, there’s no time for hesitation or unnecessary pleasantries. He operates at a level of focus, intensity, and precision that makes lesser arguments collapse before they even begin.

He doesn’t waste words. He doesn’t waste time. He gets to the point, and the point is razor-sharp.

If you’re looking for a lawyer who will soften the truth or go through the motions, he’s not your guy.

But if you want someone who will force the opposition to answer for every single thing they overlooked, dismissed, or ignored; who will push through legal barriers most attorneys wouldn’t even think to challenge; this is the lawyer you need.

Staying Three Steps Ahead of the Opposition

Geoffrey didn’t just respond; he dictated the pace.

The defense barely had room to move because he forced them to confront their own failures in a way they couldn’t ignore. He took their best possible arguments and preemptively turned them against them.

And it wasn’t just about me. He made sure the court saw the bigger picture: the systemic failure, the pattern of harm, the need for change.

This case was never just about compensation. It was about holding a system accountable for what it had done to its workers.

The Lawyer You Call When You Refuse to Be Dismissed

This isn’t just about winning a case. It’s about fighting for what’s right in a system that hopes people like me give up. Geoffrey didn’t just refuse to let me give up; he made sure I had the legal firepower to fight back.

I walked into this case expecting to fight alone. Instead, I found someone who fought with me for justice, for accountability, and for every worker who has ever been told that suffering is just part of the job.

The work of protecting healthcare workers, public servants, all of us is far from finished. The fight does not end in the courtroom. The law does not evolve without those who challenge its limits.

Geoffrey Schotter is not just a lawyer; he is proof that the battle for workers’ rights is still worth fighting.
