About
**Stephen G. Console, Esq.** **Founding Partner, Console Law Offices LLC** **Location: Philadelphia, PA** **Practice Area: Employment Law** Stephen G. Console is a distinguished attorney and the founding partner of Console Law Offices LLC, established in 1990. With over 36 years of dedicated experience in employment law, Steve has consistently demonstrated a relentless commitment to advocating for the rights of employees who have faced abuses of power and violations of their civil rights. Throughout his illustrious career, Steve has achieved significant milestones that have shaped the landscape of employment law. Notably, he tried the first case ever televised in a federal court in the United States in 1991, setting a precedent for transparency in the legal process. He was also the first attorney to file a case under the Conscientious Employee Protection Act (CEPA), New Jersey's whistleblower law, underscoring his pioneering role in protecting employees who report wrongdoing. Steve's legal acumen has resulted in landmark rulings, including establishing that investigators in sexual harassment claims cannot invoke attorney-client privilege to evade depositions. He served as lead counsel in a pivotal age discrimination case involving 189 plaintiffs, where the court recognized the crime-fraud exception to attorney-client privilege in fraudulent release agreements affecting older, laid-off workers. His successful jury trial resulted in a ruling that upheld the jury's award of both liquidated and punitive damages. Having represented over 3,000 individuals in actions against their employers, Steve is not only an advocate but also an educator, having spoken at more than 100 seminars on employment rights. His peers have repeatedly acknowledged his passionate representation, making him a trusted figure in the field of employment law in Philadelphia and beyond.
