Top Rated Employment & Labor Attorney in Melville, NY

Unlike most employment attorneys, Justin R. Marino spent nearly the first 10 years of his career defending employers from employment claims. During this time, he worked for two of the most prominent law firms, and his clients included some of the largest employers in the country. On January 1, 2017, Justin R. Marino founded his own law firm, Stevenson Marino LLP, after realizing that it more enjoyable being on the attack than on defense. At Stevenson Marino LLP, Justin R. Marino now represents employees. Who better to go after employers than the individual who was responsible for defending them for nearly 10 years straight?  Ans.  Justin Marino. Justin Marino handles every case asking, what would I do on defense? What would my considerations be? Thereafter, he strategically positions his clients' claims in a manner to maximize their recovery. 

Since January 1, 2017, Justin Marino has secured millions of dollars in settlements covering virtually every aspect of employment law, including claims unpaid wages, discrimination, reverse discrimination, retaliation, harassment, commissions, and unpaid bonuses. While several of his cases hit the news (e.g., N.Y. Post, Law360), and have been reported publicly within the court system, many others are brought and are resolved discreetly -- with no one becoming aware other than the parties involved.  Ultimately, the method and manner by which the claims are raised are dependent on the employee and what is in the best interest of the employee. The key, however, is that Justin Marino puts himself in the shoes of his client asking only: what is in my client's best interest, and how can I achieve it?

Given the success throughout his career, both on the defense side and now at Stevenson Marino LLP, opposing counsel are well aware of his tenacity and professionalism. If we're bringing a claim, the employer should know it's a good claim that they must take seriously.
