“I've been suffering from a painful condition which prevents me from working effectively more than 2 hours per day.  Disability retirement was denied by CalPERS and I was forced into regular retirement, which in practice means that I will not be able to go back to work if I regain my health.
    Stan was recommended to me by an attorney friend as a "smart attorney" - not only is he extremely intelligent, he's organized and follows through, and a good brainstormer. It was difficult to find an attorney because they prefer contingency agreements, and this situation did not call for a monetary recovery.  Stan was confident enough to think outside the box and take this case on a fee basis. CalPERS was completely uncooperative with me, never returned phone calls or emails, and Stan was able to muscle a response out of them. The case went up before OAH recently and we won. Even if we had not won, I would be nowhere if I had not had Stan working for me. 

            In addition, Stan’s clear, concise, and honest communication style makes him easy and low anxiety to work with.”
