Pros

Sadly, there are no pros to state based on my horrible experience. First time I encounter such distasteful situation with an employer and new position.

Cons

As the latter reviews state he yells and speaks to one with a sense of superiority. Also as stated, he sells you a dream and a very nice personality during the interview but as soon as you start working it is a completely different story. He tells you lets try to see if it works, doesn't make a job offer. Although a paralegal or an assistant are supposed to have certain knowledge and experience that can be applied and used in any place for legal purposes, every work place runs and administers their office differently. I have worked with distinct attorneys and firms and not one runs the exact same way. With that said, he expects you to know everything in regards to his practice right away. He doesn't give a brief statement on what he expects or wants but gets extremely upset when you don't do something that in his head he expects but didn't communicate to a new employee.

Pros

Oliver Storch is the only criminal lawyer you can trust. He is a straight shooter and tells you like it is. He was there, during my toughest time of my life. With my livelihood on the line, Oliver Represented me like a bulldog. In these unpredictable situations you need someone that can bit. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a tough lawyer.

Cons

He was working on my case on his daughter’s birthday.

Pros

I worked for Oliver Storch as a Law School Intern. Oliver Storch is a hard working, caring, inspiring employer, who wants the best for his interns. Working for Mr. Storch was the best Legal Internship I had while attending law school. Mr. Storch made it a priority that I acquired the most out of my interning experience. During my internship, he afforded me the opportunity to conduct independent interviews of witnesses and draft motions as well as pre-sentence memorandums. He also allowed me to assist in arraignment and bail surety proceedings. Throughout the summer, Mr. Storch made sure he introduced me to many of his contacts within the legal profession including Federal Judges, Federal Prosecutors, and other Defense Attorneys. The networking opportunities that Mr. Storch afforded me were invaluable. I would recommend this internship to any law school intern who has an interest in criminal defense and wants to learn from one of the best Defense Attorneys in Manhattan.

Cons

There is not one con! Mr. Storch is a great mentor. It was a great opportunity to be able to learn from one of the best and I only hope that one day I can be half the Attorney Mr. Storch is.
