Client Recommendations
“We have had the pleasure of working with Stephen DiTullio on employment law issues for many years. He has earned our respect by consistently providing us with information and guidance that ensure smooth navigation through sometimes tricky situations. He continually maintains a balance between the needs of the company and the importance of employment law compliance. We would recommend Steve without hesitation.” - Peggy Holley, Director of Human Resources, Fristam Pumps, www.fristam.com
“My wife and I were impressed at the level of knowledge, preparation and professionalism displayed during our recent employment related hearing. We found it refreshing to work with a legal representative that understands the challenges of business, especially small business. We just cannot say enough about your approach and reassurance that the claims against us were unfounded. When you own a small business and treat everyone as family it hurts to have someone question your integrity and make false claims against you...we listened and heard you loud and clear that it is better to spend the money at the beginning of an employment relationship than at the end when termination seems like the only option.” - Kenneth L. Heins, CEO/President, KLH Industries Inc., www.klhindustries.com
“I have been working with Steve for the past three years. If we have any personnel issues, my first communication is to Steve. His knowledge, experience, and professionalism is a valuable resource for our company.” - Joel Groskreutz, President & CEO, Accelerated Genetics, www.accelgen.com
