Biography

Stefano’s best assets are his litigation strategies and his ability to negotiate very challenging and complex situations that others may feel are non-negotiable. He conducts seminars for lawyers nationwide on high-level negotiations and is currently writing a book on the subject. His experience in our immigration department with clients in 54 countries has taught him a lot about human nature and the traits that both identify and surpass cultures, this experience has proven invaluable. He has saved clients and corporations literally millions of dollars as well as careers, as a result of his high-level negotiation skills, having represented political figures, actors, producers, and even federal agents, successfully undoing international kidnapping, blackmail, extortion, and career destruction with no money changing hands.

Stefano Riznyk, born in England, lived in Rome for a year just over a decade ago, seeking to open a foreign office there, but decided against it, so yes, he speaks Italian. A young entrepreneur, he started business at age 13, and as a result enjoys working with startups. In 2000 he decided to upgrade his business skills and took time to study Strategic Management at Harvard, maintaining an A average. His bachelor’s degree is in Genetics and Biochemistry; this training taught him to think in a highly analytical manner. He spent half of his law school career in Canada and then on vacation discovered San Diego and completed the second half of his education at California Western School of Law in San Diego.
