Stephen’s legal journey wasn’t straightforward; he first pursued a career in finance after earning his Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Hofstra University in 1987. During his years in finance, Stephen discovered his passion for the legal field and decided to pursue a Juris Doctorate, graduating in 1994.
His legal career began with clerkships for two criminal court judges, where he gained invaluable insights into the judicial process. Stephen’s early experience in criminal defense provided a solid foundation for his transition into plaintiff-side personal injury law, where his passion for justice and advocacy truly flourished.
Before joining Law Office of Cohen & Jaffe, LLP in 2011, Stephen gained further experience practicing solo and in small partnerships, honing his skills in civil litigation and advocacy for injured plaintiffs. His ability to navigate complex legal landscapes and his unwavering commitment to his clients have consistently yielded favorable outcomes, setting a standard of excellence within our firm.
Stephen’s approach to personal injury cases is marked by his thorough understanding of his clients’ challenges, both in recovering physically and seeking just compensation. He has developed a reputation for his tenacity in negotiations and his strategic approach to litigation, often securing settlements that exceed expectations and verdicts that uphold justice.
Throughout his career, Stephen has remained deeply committed to challenging the unfair perceptions and practices of insurance companies and corporate entities. “I’m appalled that insurance carriers have managed to negatively influence the public’s perception of injured parties seeking recovery,” Stephen Tiger emphasizes. “I refuse to accept their tactics and am dedicated to fighting for the rights of those who have been wronged.”
Stephen’s promotion to Partner at the Law Office of Cohen & Jaffe, LLP is not only a testament to his professional achievements but also to his unwavering dedication to our clients and our firm’s mission. His leadership will undoubtedly strengthen our ability to serve both Long Island and Queens, continuing our legacy of providing aggressive and effective representation coupled with compassionate support.
