He has represented us on a variety of corporate legal matters and he is a master with both contract and lease negotiations, always offering exceptional strategic advice. More recently, he represented us in front of the Township Planning Board and helped us achieve our desired results when it seemed impossible. We highly endorse Stephen both personally and professionally."

HEC Holding Co., LLC

"I cannot say enough great things about our firm's experience with Stephen as our counsel. He recently represented us in a very complicated matter with an extremely belligerent adversary and brought it to a successful and timely conclusion. When things became difficult, Stephen always exuded calmness and professionalism and when the workload became overbearing, he worked tirelessly to ensure they we were completely prepared."

EIC Associates Inc.

"Stephen has proven to be an invaluable asset providing guidance and representation on numerous complex issues. Stephen represented us on an emergent claim for our additional work on the Goethals Bridge Replacement Project. Stephen's knowledge of public work and case law brought an expedited resolution without a long, drawn-out legal action. Tricon appreciates Stephen's professionalism and support."

Tricon Enterprises Inc.

"For over 10 years, I've relied on Stephen for expert legal representation in the complex matters of liability that come with owning and operating a construction business. He and his team are knowledgeable, responsive and effective. In our most recent pursuit of payment from a difficult owner, Stephen remained a consummate professional and prevailed through the bureaucracy to achieve our goal."

Konkus Corp.

Our Company had retained Stephen to perform an on-site seminar at our location to educate our Managers on contract language. Stephen’s background and knowledge of construction and law was perfect for our non-legal minded managers to get a better understanding of these agreements, while keeping them fully engaged. He received high marks from everyone that attended, from managers at all levels. I highly recommend Stephen and his team for this and other services, as we will be sure to consult him in the future as the need arises.
