Every lawyer I contacted turned me away--except Geoffrey Schotter. When my employer, New York…read moreState, broke me under extraordinary conditions, causing an acute mental health crisis, Geoffrey didn't just take my case--he built it into something undeniable. He is not just a lawyer; he is a force for workers' rights. Schotter Millican LLP Doesn't Just Represent Clients; They Redefine the Fight for Justice I walked into this case knowing the odds were stacked against me and ready to do it alone if necessary. But with Geoffrey Schotter, I didn't have to. I had already reached out to multiple attorneys, and every single one turned me away, but not because my case wasn't real, but because it was too difficult, too risky, too untested. Geoffrey Schotter was the last lawyer I contacted before I was prepared to represent myself. He was my last hope. And, as it turned out, he was the most important one. When my employer, New York State, had pushed me beyond my limits, breaking me under extraordinary and extreme conditions until I suffered an acute mental health crisis, Geoffrey was the one who stepped in. He worked through every detail, saw the full weight of what had happened, and built a case that refused to let my suffering be dismissed as 'just part of the job.' Beyond Representation: A Relentless Pursuit of Justice What sets Geoffrey apart is that he doesn't just argue a case; he builds it with intention, precision, and an acute awareness of every possible challenge. Every potential counter argument was anticipated and addressed before it could be used. Every detail that might have been questioned was already accounted for. By the time we got to summation, there was no shaky ground left to stand on. And he didn't just take one route; he gave my case multiple paths to victory. * A clear argument for my claim as a work-related accident under the Workers' Compensation Law. * A strategic foundation for establishing it as a novel occupational disease case if needed. * A preemptive dismantling of any attempt to claim that my breakdown was a direct consequence of a lawful personnel action. Each argument stood on its own, but together, they created something undeniable. Sharp, Focused, and Completely Unapologetic Geoffrey can be snappy, short, frustrated, and even frustrating at times. But that's what it takes to push the law forward. When you're forcing the system to acknowledge its own failures, when you're fighting for something that hasn't been fought before, there's no time for hesitation or unnecessary pleasantries. He operates at a level of focus, intensity, and precision that makes lesser arguments collapse before they even begin. He doesn't waste words. He doesn't waste time. He gets to the point, and the point is razor-sharp. If you're looking for someone to soften the truth or go through the motions, he is not your guy. But if you want a lawyer who will force the opposition to answer for every single thing they overlooked, dismissed, or ignored; who will push through legal barriers that most attorneys wouldn't even think to challenge; this is the lawyer you need. Staying Three Steps Ahead of the Opposition Geoffrey didn't just respond; he dictated the pace. The defense barely had room to move because he didn't just prove my case, rather he forced them to confront their own failures in a way they couldn't ignore. He took their best possible arguments and preemptively turned them against them. And it wasn't just about me. He made sure the court saw the bigger picture; the systemic failure, the pattern of harm, the need for change. This case was never just about compensation. It was about holding a system accountable for what it had done to its workers. The Lawyer You Call When You Refuse to Be Dismissed This isn't just about winning a case. This is about fighting for what's right in a system that often hopes people like me give up. Geoffrey didn't just refuse to let me give up, he made sure I had the legal firepower to fight back. I walked into this case expecting to fight for myself. Instead, I found someone who fought with me, for justice, for accountability, and for every worker who has ever been told that suffering is just part of the job. The work of protecting healthcare workers, public servants, all of us--is far from finished. The fight does not end in the courtroom. The law does not evolve without those who are willing to challenge its limits. Geoffrey Schotter is not just a lawyer; he is proof that the battle for workers' rights is still worth fighting.

We hired Mr.Brill's firm to represent us in an educational related case, to which his website…read morestates is one of their specialties. Over the course of almost 2 years, there was no progress made in our case, and the case is still active. They were fast to take us on as a client, but then communication became next to nothing over the course of our tenure with them. Every 2-3 months we would follow up with case status but there was nothing to report, and we were told to sit tight. After about 2 years, we decided to change firms and asked for all correspondence related to the case and the investigator, but Brill's firm could not produce any informative emails or updates with the investigator. Most of the communication was "calls" and "voicemails", but nothing that showed progress or an attempt to bring closure. Brill's firm is either too busy (likely) or doesn't care enough (possible) to help with cases deemed "less significant" to them. In short, 2 years later we're in the same spot we were, and we are currently evaluating new representation. If we could go back, we would have paid the premium (higher cost) for other attorneys who we interviewed with who seemed more invested in our case.

He listened patiently-- I tend to go on and on. And he helped me immediately resolve a problem related to my elderly mother. I am so grateful.

I am extremely disappointed with the consultation I received from attorney Stephen Bilkis through…read moremy prepaid legal service plan. My plan specifically includes attorney consultations, legal advice, review of up to 10 pages of documents, contracts and letters, attorney-written demand letters on a member's behalf, and other legal services. The plan also requires participating attorneys to respond within 8 hours or by the next business day. Despite that requirement, I had to wait approximately five business days just to obtain an appointment. When the appointment finally occurred, the consultation lasted less than five minutes. Before I could fully explain my situation, Mr. Bilkis repeatedly interrupted me and stated that my only option was to file a lawsuit and that hiring him would cost between $7,000 and $10,000. I explained that I was not seeking representation at that time. I was seeking legal guidance through benefits I already pay for. However, I was told that he could not provide meaningful advice without reviewing documents and that doing so would require an additional payment of approximately $2,500, despite document review being one of the benefits included in my legal plan. Every attempt to ask general questions regarding my options, possible outcomes, or potential legal scenarios was met with interruptions. At one point, Mr. Bilkis stated, "I know what you're trying to do," as though I was attempting to obtain something improperly, when I was simply trying to use the services included in my membership. I was not asking for free legal work. I was attempting to use services that I already pay for. Instead of receiving legal guidance, I felt pressured toward paid representation and was unable to obtain any meaningful advice. The conversation ended before I was even allowed to fully explain my situation. This experience was dismissive, unprofessional, and inconsistent with the purpose of a prepaid legal service referral. Fortunately, my legal plan has since referred me to another attorney who is willing to provide the services and guidance that members are entitled to receive.

Does this firm have professional ethics? Are they being honest with their client? I highly doubt…read moreit. My experience with this firm is a disaster. It's about contacting you "diligently" to get your lawyer fee paid but being negligent and insincere when they think me is not a wealthy client who could pay them. Here is my story: After following our tenant-landlord dispute case for six months and charging us a 1.5k lawyer's fee, my case finally fell into the legal proceeding. However, shockingly, this firm told us that they are unfortunately not able to represent us because they are not qualified because we live in upstate, and also they don't have time to dedicate to my case. This, is a total lie and after I pointed out their pretexts pointedly, all attorneys in this firm remained silent again. I am not the type of person who is cynical and think people in a bad way. But in this case, I need their explanation but I doubt they could give me a reasonable one. It's laughable that they even don't found that the reasons given are self-contradictory. If the first reason (not qualified) is the truth, then the second reason(no time) is redundant, right? It's pathetic that your lawyer would choose to lie to you. They are not giving the real reason why they refused to take my case.They are covering their inappropriateness in taking a client's case with greed. When I first contact Attorney David Moss six months ago. He told me that he could handle our dispute but we have to sign a new representation agreement in the situation that my case go to court. I agreed. What type of lawyer would fail to disclose that he/she is not able to represent the client? Shouldn't Attorney David Moss know that this fact is critical for a client to evaluate whether to hire this firm? If they are truly unqualified to represent my case because we live in upstate, then their practice is highly unethical from a client's stand of point. I want to ask Attorney David Moss and Attorney Jordan Tapia: If you have known that all along for 6 months, why not tell us in the beginning? Why waste our time? Why gives us the expectation that you would represent us in court if the dispute worsens? Don't you know this fact is critical for us? If we had know that your qualification is lacking then we won't hire you in the first place! However, there is another theory in my mind. Even though I am not a lawyer, I can see they are just lying to me without giving me the real reason. They are either not hoping to earn a decent amount of attorney from us or they are just incompetent in dealing my case. That's why I hope they could give us some legitimate reasons like "not expecting us could afford the representation fee." That would make me feel better. But "not qualified to representation" and "not having enough time to dedicate"? What? You are saying that after knowing all the facts and evidence for six months, you finally "found out" that you are not qualified to represent our case and you have NO TIME to prepare? I take them as a total lie and pretext. I was expecting my lawyer would be honest with me. But this experience totally shatters my expectation for what a lawyer would be like. After I received the court's hearing document weeks ago, I contacted this firm immediately because they have followed my case till now and I expected them to be well prepared for this case. First, they told me to adjourn the hearing, which I totally understand because perhaps they needed more time to prepare. However, they remained in total silence for ten days with out contacting me! (The hearing date is coming) If I had not contacted them today, they would not tell us that they could not take our case! Do you really care about your client?Does it take ten days to find out you ARE NOT QUALIFIED and NOT HAVING ENOUGH TIME? Or are you just not competent in the landlord-tenant case? Now, with the hearing to take place soon, I have to take my case to another lawyer. I am furious and frustrated and disappointed! I would consider reporting this firm to the Bar Council and Judicial Agency.

Avoid This Lawyer at All Costs - Incompetent, Unethical, and Harmful…read more I had an extremely distressing experience with this attorney, and I feel a responsibility to warn others. From the start, he was unresponsive and disinterested. He missed court appearances, failed to return calls or emails, and completely ignored the documents and evidence I sent him--often dismissing everything as "not significant" without explanation. Rather than advocating for my interests, he pressured me to accept a settlement that was absurdly low and clearly not in my best interest. It became increasingly clear that he was not just passive but completely unfit to handle litigation. He is not a litigator as he claims and took the case anyway, wasting critical time. His attitude was indifferent, lazy, and at times, it felt like he was working against me rather than for me. His negligence caused real harm to my case, and his actions (and inactions) were not only unprofessional but deeply unethical. If you're looking for a lawyer who will actually fight for you, communicate with you, and take your case seriously - look elsewhere. The attorney demonstrated poor credentials, having graduated from a mediocre law school and possessing minimal practical experience, which was evident in his lack of skill, confidence, and judgment throughout the case. This experience was a nightmare, and no one should have to go through what I did.

He is not a litigator by any stretch--he avoids confrontation, appears intimidated by opposing counsel, and crumbles under basic legal pressure.
