​Our company retained Steve Cerny with Santi Cerny to defend an employment lawsuit. The follow-up, communication, and attention to detail were remarkable. Throughout the entire case, I knew what was going on and what the next steps were. Our company doesn't ever (this is the first) deal with employment lawsuits. Steve made the entire process much easier than it could have been and to make things better, we came out on top. If you need a lawyer to help defend an employment lawsuit, I would highly recommend Steve with Santi Cerny.

As the CEO of a mid-size manufacturing company that always took a great deal of pride in our employee relations, my management team and I were caught by surprise when an agency of the federal government determined that there was cause for pursuing remunerations and penalties relating to a wrongful termination charge that was being leveled against us. I decided on retaining Steve Cerny of Santi Cerny, PLLC, to defend my company. When the dust finally settled, and the case was resolved, I can look back at that decision and conclude that it was a wise choice!

The government agency - the EEOC - was eventually forced to dismiss the federal lawsuit after conflicting evidence emerged, evidence that had been brought to light through the tireless work of Steve Cerny. Throughout this long, drawn out case Steve and I continually worked together. As tedious as the work involved with the case may have been, working directly with Steve was always an enjoyable experience, even when it carried over into the weekend. Although Steve is incredibly smart, he explained the anticipated legal process to me at a level at which I could understand and was always available to answer any questions or concerns that arose. The big thing for me, though, even though I am not an attorney Steve always treated me with respect and listened to my suggestions.

To this day the company continues to use Steve and his firm for much of its legal counsel. This has included dealing with employee matters, drafting policies and procedures, management training, and many other legal matters. If anyone seeking legal counsel were to ask me for a recommendation, I would without hesitation send them to Steve Cerny.

I was consulting on a federal employment law matter, and Steven Cerny was brought in to handle the final settlement negotiations.  His work was excellent and the result was beyond my expectations - in terms of the settlement, of course, but also in terms of the client experience.  These processes are hard on people; the client needs to feel that the lead attorney is totally competent.  Steven was perfect in that regard - we were fortunate to have his expertise and leadership on the matter, impressed with how he managed the flow of negotiation, and grateful for the result he created for our client.

Steve has played a critical role in helping us navigate the unique legal challenges that face a rapidly growing company.  Whether it be in assisting in the acquisition of several trademarks, or working with the organization to restructure our employee onboarding process, Steve provides thoughtful counsel in a timely manner. However, what truly separates Steve from other attorneys we have worked with is the time he has taken to learn about our business and the industry we work in. Steve’s guidance is always provided with an understanding of our organization’s values and goals for the future.
