I have learned about this Law firm form a previous successful action and since I was extremely satisfied I went to Stephan Mashel again. Not only was I satisfied and was extremely happy with the treatment, services and professionalism shown by Amy Blanchfield, who was working on my case she was not only extremely thorough, professional and extremely responsive to any and all questions, she always got back to me in a timely manner and no question seemed too small for her to answer. The whole firm was extremely professional and courteous. Again, I was extremely satisfied and would highly recommend them.

I learned about Mashel Law through an Internet search. I attempted to work with another lawyer that not only clearly did not understand the unemployment hearing, but also did not care about me or my well-being. I did not feel that way when I spoke with Amy. She even reviewed my documents before taking the case to ensure that my case would be viable before charging me the 500 dollars. That really made all the difference to me. We were successful in our hearing in a unusual circumstance with my employer and I could not have done it without her. My overall experience with Mashel Law was very positive. Amy took time to prep me for the call and also gave me good counsel and support during the call. I would definitely recommend Mashel Law to my family, friends, co-workers and acquaintances.

I was extremely satisfied by Amy Blanchfield who not only provided excellent professional service and was always prompt and attentive to my needs, even when I emailed her during the weekend that I had an issue, she responded immediately. Amy should be acknowledged for excellent service and her very pleasant demeanor. I highly recommend her and will refer your legal practice.

Mashel Law is not afraid to take on much larger law firms. Steve's decades of experience and knowledge in workplace (CEPA) law really saved the day for me. He speaks the truth to his clients, he does not sugarcoat, he does not engage in politics he just does his job, he works hard and he does it well. I am so thankful that I found Steve and that he handled a very difficult case for me in a time of need he was compassionate. His understanding of a my complicated profession and subject matter was very impressive and he delivered a very fair retainer contract under some difficult time constraints set by the court. Thank you so much to everyone at Mashel Law for getting me through a tough time in my life.

- Ophelia Myles


The staff and my attorney was very professional. When most attorneys turned me down Mashel Law listened to me and brought me the justice that I deserved. I especially like how I was made to feel like a major part of the process with constant communication with my attorney. In fact when I hear of someone with a work related issue my response will be " I know a guy".

- Robert Morris


Peter was kind, attentive, explained each step of the process and most importantly obtained a settlement that exceed my expectations. The overall experience working with Peter and the firm was superb!

I was 110% satisfied with Mashel Law LLC. I'm glad I picked up the phone and gave them a call. They listened to me and quickly brought me in the very next day for a free consultation. They are truly a First Class Law Firm. I encourage everyone to give them a call regarding your case as I did.

My attorney Peter kept me in the loop every step of the way. The communication between Peter and I was unlike any other experience I had with other cases. Mashel Law was there to answer all of my questions. During my free consultation Mashel Law came up with a clear game plan on how they were going to attack my case and they delivered.

I cant say enough about Peter Valenzano, He gave me his personal cell phone information he was there every step of the way responding to my calls/emails even while he was away on vacation or even sometimes late at night.

If your looking for a First Class Law Firm choose Mashel Law LLC. I would recommend this Law Firm to everyone, I put my case in their hands and from that moment I literally had peace of mind.

- Jalil Yausen Jones


I am very satisfied with the service provided by Steve Mashel and Peter Valenzano. I appreciated the transparency and also their effort in making me understand what is expected to happen (positive and negative outcome)with the issue that they are handling on my behalf.

Mr. Peter Valenzano was my main contact in this process. If I reach out to him for questions or issues (such as obtaining information the I need urgently), Peter promptly returns my call or responds to my e-mail. he works on my request promptly and immediately circles back to me when he has the response or information. They worked very hard to get me the best result to the issue that they were representing on my behalf.

Peter and Steve made me feel that they both had my best interests at heart. They were very professional but with a personal touch. My overall experience with Mashel Law is excellent. I guess I was lucky to find this firm just based on an internet search.

- Ma. Angela Vales


Yes, everyone was very polite, professional, understanding and cordial. Once I presented my case paperwork, the firm immediately went to work without delay and treated me and my case with the utmost importance. Definitely a pleasant overall experience.

- J. Curry


I was exceedingly satisfied by the responsiveness of my attorney at Mashel Law. My representation left nothing to be desired.

My experience with this firm was overall extremely positive. I was able to get a good result without a long drawn out litigation. I was impressed at the pace at which my attorney worked. I would recommend this law firm, specifically, Mr. Valenzano, to anyone, any day of the week. He is realistic, down to earth, and has the ability to effectively communicate legal-ese without making your head hurt.

- Fred Clark


Working with Mashel Law was easy. Tina is the legal secretary and is always very pleasant and a delight to deal with. She will listen and talk to you, plus she makes sure your request is received by the attorneys every time.

Stephan Mashel is very adept at explaining how the law works, what my options were, what usually happens (in their experience) and then they LISTEN to you, ask questions and allow you to make very informed decisions. I never had a single one of those annoying moments where you need to talk to them and had to wait. They are very accessible, ready and willing and truly made me feel like I was their only and most important client. Never do they give you the feeling like you’re on the clock.

In my case against my former employer, we actually were offered a very good settlement; however, it was to be strung out over a year and not in a lump sum. This is not customary and was unexpected as my agreement with Mashel Law was to pay them one-third of the settlement and they’d never before run into an employer unwilling to pay a single lump sum. Despite this last minute twist, they worked out a monthly payment plan for me to extend over one year!

Since the settlement, I hand delivered each monthly payment and Tina always greeted me by name and had a nice talk with me sincerely asking how I was doing. When available,  Stephan would also come out of his office to shake hands and say hello.

Long story short, this firm is experienced and they know how to do what they do….I say this not only in terms of their knowing the employment laws, but every bit as much in terms of knowing how people who have been wronged by their employer need to be treated. They are class all the way!

- Mark Miller


Extremely satisfied. Mr. Peter Valenzano was a true professional. He was responsive, excellent listener, great follow-up skills, and most of all is very knowledgeable in all aspects of labor laws. Outstanding surpassed my expectations. They were easy to do business with and worked extremely hard on my behalf under very difficult circumstances and tight timelines.

- Sam Mowaswes


Professional and approachable. Excellent timely and personable. Highly recommended.

- Doctor Fadem


After what happened with me, in my situation, I felt I had no place to turn. After making a few phone calls to these “supposed” reputable law offices that “claim” to help you, I came across Mashel Law and finally got a helping hand with my situation. Stephan Mashel educated me on some beliefs I had about companies and I will use that advice from here on, while I am employed.

Tina and Brian were also so very helpful.

What really struck me was from the moment I called to the moment my case was resolved, everyone took part in some way, in helping me with my case. Mashel Law did everything possible in resolving my case and worked closely with me and kept me abreast of all/any activity. I can’t thank them enough for their assistance. Thank you all at Mashel Law.”

I was happy with the representation of my case. They were very quick with the resolution. I was very impressed.

- Nicole G.


Before I came to Mashel Law I was represented by one of the biggest law firms in New Jersey (they advertise on radio, TV and billboards). After working with that firm for over a year, I received a phone call telling me that they didn’t think my case was worth their time and resources. At the time I was out of work for over a year and worried about what to do next, being disabled and unable to work. I contacted Mashel law and they got me the maximum payout possible. My accident was in 2003 and thanks to Stephan Mashel and his staff, I am still getting paid to this day.

Stephan Mashel, I couldn’t have asked for better and exceptional representation throughout my case. You came highly recommended and you lived up to your reputation of providing excellent legal representation. I knew I was in good hands and had made the right decision in my choice of legal representation from the minute I walked through the doors of Mashel Law, LLC. Your office handled my case with such professionalism.

You both allayed my fears, addressed all my concerns and educated me about the entire process, most importantly prepared me for every possible scenario. You were realistic, honest and upfront with expectations and everything played out like you said it would. You were so thorough and confident. Throughout my constant barrage of emails and phone calls, you both always took the time to explain in detail any issues or information I found confusing. You gave me constant updates. You went above and beyond to ensure that no detail was overlooked.

You showed me patience and care in the face of the challenges that came up during the discovery process. I will never forget the hand-holding you both gave me during and after the grueling and intense deposition from the two Defense attorneys, one of whom bullied/badgered me during the entire process. I remember being very distraught after the deposition and felt extremely disheartened. You both put me at ease and gave me what every client needs, peace of mind to sleep well that night!

I would not have received the settlement I did if you had not fought very hard on my behalf. Stephan, I remember how hard you fought both Defense attorneys at the settlement conference to get me the settlement I was entitled to. I especially remember, the Judge’s comment to me upon completion of the settlement conference, “You have a wonderful attorney, Ms Appiah”.

Stephan, a simple thank you is not sufficient for what you did for me. I am extremely fortunate and grateful to have found you both at Mashel Law, LLC. Mashel Law exudes honesty, professionalism, compassion, understanding and dedication. My sincere, genuine and warm thanks to both of you and the entire staff at Mashel Law, LLC.

- Kim C.


First off I would like to mention that the team at Mashel Law LLC is exceptional and extremely customer focused. When I was referred by one of their former clients I already knew I was going to get the best service available. My overall experience with the firm was exceptional and I would absolutely recommend Mashel Law to any of my friends family or co-workers. Thank you for all of your help!

- Vincent Costantino


I was treated in a respectful and professional manner at all times. My calls and e-mails were always responded to with great detail. The atmosphere in the office was comfortable, they took their time to answer all my questions and explain the process, etc.

- Denise Fronczek


Some people describe dealing with legal issues as akin to visiting a dentist. Staff and attorneys did their utmost to make a potentially disruptive experience as comfortable as possible. A shout-out to Tina in particular, who endeavored to put a “human” face on the goings-on.

- Douglas John Bowen


I would describe my experience as fulfilling. I feel like justice was served. It’s never fun to deal with harrowing issues that involve discrimination at a workplace, but Mashel Law made me feel comfortable and “held my hand” through the process.

- Jasmine Tyler
