L. Steven Platt is one of the rare attorneys in our field. He is not only an exceptional attorney, but he truly cares about his clients' cause. Mr. Platt takes on cases that many other lawyers would turn away because they are not the most "lucrative" cases. Yet, Mr. Platt represents such clients because he believes in justice and what the legal community should offer the public. Mr. Platt is well-versed in argumentation, writing and research. He is also a great mentor full of relevant knowledge.
Steve is one of the most honorable attorneys that I know.
Mr. Platt is a highly accomplished and technically expert employment lawyer. His litigation skills, interpersonal sensitivity, ethical practice and his reputation among other employment lawyers makes him not just a leader, but the guru to gurus. He is a prolific author, consummate teacher, and leader in his field. He is a fierce advocate for his clients. I have had the opportunity to know many excellent employment lawyers, and Steve Platt would be at the head of that list.
Very hardworking and honorable attorney. Fine advocate.
Mr. Platt is a brilliant lawyer. He knows his laws, is highly responsive and extremely competent in dealing with challenging issues. In addition he is compassionate, kind and understanding. He assisted me through the issues I sought him for and I wish I had crossed paths with him much earlier than I did. There are too many lawyers who waste their clients' time because they want to get paid, but Mr. Platt isn't one of them. I highly recommend him!
Mr. Platt did an excellent job for me, negotiating my separation from my law firm partnership, laying out the possible causes of action we would bring if my old law firm did not agree to our terms.
L. Steven Platt is by far one of the greatest lawyers I have ever met. Not only is he a consummate professional, but he gets the work done. He treats all his clients with the utmost respect. He is so well versed in his field that when one turns their case over to him, they are guaranteed to get the results that they hope for. Steve brings a personal touch to all of his cases.He spends time researching every angel there is to bring the proper result.
