Stefan is a versatile trial and appellate attorney who helps businesses and individuals solve their legal problems.

Stefan works with clients to find creative, efficient resolutions to a full range of commercial disputes. A pragmatist focused on strategic solutions, he is also very much at home in the courtroom. When the best option is to take a case to trial, he is a tenacious and effective advocate. Stefan is frequently brought in as a “fixer” to salvage cases after other attorneys have failed to produce results or properly work up the case. In other instances, Stefan is brought in before trial to serve as appellate counsel. In that role, he works with trial counsel to make sure issues are preserved and best positioned for appeal, advises on strategic issues for trial, writes summary judgment and other key briefs, and then handles the appeal.

His litigation experience is broad, covering a range of high-stakes matters in state and federal courts around the country. His commercial litigation experience has included trials and arbitrations, covering matters such as breaches of contract, fraud and breach of fiduciary duty claims, civil RICO claims, federal and blue sky securities issues, business divorces and derivative actions, trade secret and intellectual property issues, False Claims Act cases, bankruptcy adversary proceedings, labor and employment disputes, as well as civil rights and First Amendment cases. He also has experience enforcing creditors’ rights, including through receiverships and by exercising their rights under the UCC. 

Stefan serves large and small businesses and individuals operating in a wide variety of industries, from entertainment and professional sports to banking, aviation, construction, real estate, and others.
