Stephen Jaffe, Attorney

In a world where bad lawyer jokes are normalized, in many cases deservedly so, Stephen Jaffe is the opposite of anything you might expect. Mr. Jaffe worked on several important cases for me involving employment and arbitration law. Stephen successfully resolved them with integrity, tireless energy, and a strong understanding of precedent and the law. Stephen adroitly navigates around determined adversaries adept at using the legal process to drive up costs and delay justice. Mr. Jaffe worked all the way through state courts to the ninth circuit federal appeals court to ensure that justice prevailed. Sadly, this world full of unscrupulous individuals and soulless corporations weaponizing the legal process to suit their own selfish ends. If you find yourself caught in a bad situation and need someone to help with employment and legal matters, Stephen Jaffe is a good man to have on your side. I highly recommend him.

Stephen Jaffe was my attorney for a very difficult, complicated lawsuit recently. His strategic skills in deciding the best legal actions to take were complemented by his strong and kind support during the time it took our case to wend its way through the courts. Stephen explained all the legal aspects of the case in a clear, concise manner and was very effective in dealing with contentious opponents. In my prior career of over three decades as a Labor Union Vice President I worked with many different attorneys for arbitration cases, EEOC complaints, NLRB complaints and many other legal proceedings. Stephen stands out as one of the top litigators I have worked with. He has my highest recommendation.

I had a great experience working with Stephen. He reviewed both my current employment agreement and my new offer, making sure I understood everything and felt protected. His knowledge, responsiveness, and guidance gave me real peace of mind. I highly recommend Stephen to anyone looking for an employment attorney.

I retained the services of Stephen Jaffe as an attorney to represent me and the coalition I was a part of in a civil litigation lawsuit. It was an extremely acrimonious and contentious case. Basically it involved two opposing sides fighting for control of a community based radio network. While the battle for control had been ongoing for decades, it took Stephen a relatively short period of time to become familiar with the factions, the issues and the history of our struggle. He is a very smart, very competent civil litigator. He brought all his smarts to our defense. He also brought an abundance of empathy, humor and passion to defending our side’s goals. Of course, with Stephen at the helm, our side prevailed. I am thankful for his advocacy. I would retain his services again if life presents problems that I need counsel to protect me from.

I hired Stephen Jaffe to represent me in a complex legal matter, and I could not be more grateful that I chose him. From the very beginning, it was clear that he brings a rare combination of skill, integrity, and dedication to his work. Not only did he guide me through an extremely challenging process with clarity and confidence, but we prevailed, not just in the primary case, but in the countersuit as well. Mr. Jaffe is an exceptionally knowledgeable attorney, particularly in state and federal employment law, and his command of the legal landscape gave me reassurance every step of the way. He is a fierce and strategic advocate who leaves no stone unturned, yet he never loses sight of the human side of the law. I was impressed not only by his thoroughness and ethical standards, but also by the compassion and respect he showed throughout our work together. If you need someone who will fight relentlessly for you while maintaining the highest level of professionalism and integrity, Stephen Jaffe is the attorney you want in your corner
