Expert guidance through a complex employment dispute

Stephanie Setterington provided outstanding counsel during a sensitive non-compete and trade secret dispute with a former executive. Her deep knowledge of Michigan employment law, honed over nearly three decades, was immediately evident. It was reassuring to know we had a Best Lawyers-recognated attorney from Varnum on our side. Her strategic advice led to a favorable settlement. While her billing is commensurate with her expertise, clearer upfront cost estimates would be helpful. I highly recommend her for complex labor matters.
