Louis D. Stober, Jr. is a seasoned professional in the labor and discrimination field with over 25 years of experience representing the largest labor union on Long Island. In that capacity, Mr. Stober has won millions of dollars for union members and the union over the years and is on the cutting edge of the New York Civil Service Law. Many of Mr. Stober's cases have set precedent in New York on the Civil Service Law and he is constantly looking for new cases that will further define the law.

Mr. Stober's expertise in discrimination cases has taken notice front and center with two multi-million dollar verdicts in the last two years alone. In Vorwerk v. Brown, a trial in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, Mr. Stober represented a female doctor at the Northport VA Medical Center who had been retaliated against for having filed a discrimination claim against the VA. In bringing in one of the largest verdicts against the U.S. Government in a discrimination case, Mr. Stober convinced the jury to award $2,050,000 in pain and suffering for Dr. Vorwerk.

More recently, in Zimmermann v. Associates First Capital, a trial in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, Mr. Stober won a $1,096,000 verdict against Associates First Capital for it's discriminatory termination of a female Assistant Vice-President. Mr. Stober was able to so enrage the jury against Associates First Capital that it awarded $1,000,000 in punitive damages against the company.

Mr. Stober's trial experience has led to many similar results in personal injury and commercial litigation as well. As the principal and leader of his firm, Mr. Stober takes immense pride in the success of his firm in all its endeavors.
