Mr. Stern is an excellent attorney. After suffering an injury, I reached out to him based on his reputation. The man did not disappoint me. Upon my arrival at his office, he greeted me warmly and made me feel like I was family. He was very attentive, patient and straightforward with me. Also, he is a great strategist. He knew exactly what to do and how to deal with all of the other parties in my case, i.e. doctors, insurance company lawyers, therapists, etc... . He took away all of the stress, which allowed me to heal both physically and mentally. I was very successful with my case because of him. I have recommended friends and family to him because I know he will not let anyone down.
Cliff took care of my family after a tragic accident. He always took quick action, while always explaining all of our options thoroughly and clearly and ended up getting us a way larger settlement than we expected. He also has a great network of the best doctors, so I always felt like I was being treated in the best hands. Thank you Cliff!
Clifford Stern represented me and I could not have been more pleased. He was professional, explained the process to me in detail and was instrumental in settling my case for much more than expected. I recommend Mr. Stern to whoever needs a top notch litigator, as his expertise is immeasurable.
Mr. Stern held my hand throughout an experience that was taxing both mentally and emotionally. He made sure that I was comfortable throughout the entire process, and did an impeccable job representing me. I'd recommend him to anyone who wants a lawyer that truly cares about them.
Cliff was extremely courteous, knowledgeable and comforting. I had never had any experience dealing with lawsuits and was very nervous. Cliff took the time to explain the intricacies of the case as well as all possible scenarios and outcomes. He was never pushy, often waiting days, even weeks for me to make a decision. He kept me well informed and always contacted me to ensure I was up to date and to monitor my well being. He gave me great advice and was never pushy towards an outcome. He strictly focused on ME, not the money. In the end I feel I made a great, smart decision based on the facts laid out by Cliff. I would highly recommend him to anyone uncertain about proceeding in a case, or someone nervous about having a bad experience with a lawyer.
Several years ago I fell down a flight of stairs, there were no witnesses to see the damage done. A friend suggested I contact Mr.Stern. From our first meeting I was impressed at how easy going he was and how he listened to every word I said. The entire case from start to finish took some time, however there was never a minute that I didn't know what point my case was at. The results of my case were excellent and although I hope never to have another reason to use Cliff Stern I hope whoever needs an attorney who cares about them retains him.
Cliff Stern and his entire staff are competent and extremely diligent. They kept me well-informed throughout the process, and knew when to push and when to strategically pause for a while. Negotiation Skills are outstanding! They were also very accurate in terms of communicating what to expect next in the process. I truly valued the level of experience and professionalism they consistently displayed.
Cliff Stern and his term were both competent and kind. We appreciated that he genuinely seemed to care about my mother and that he was committed to a fair resolution of the case. We felt that we were in good hands and that our interests were protected throughout the process.
Mr. Stern is an excellent trial attorney. He kept me abreast of all developments involving my case. He always conveyed a sense of personal caring for me and my family's well being. We still keep in touch and it was over 16 years ago that we first meet to discuss his representing my lawsuit.
Clifford Stern is an extremely professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy lawyer. His staff is also well organized, polite and professional. During the entire process, I was always well informed. Any questions that I had were answered quickly and completely. At no time during the entire process was I given embellished information that would lead me to expect a better outcome. In the end, Clifford Stern and his staff exceeded my expectations during the entire process, and in getting the best possible resolution to my case. I highly recommend him to all, and I would certainly utilize his services in the future.
