During law school, Stephen won three book awards, served as his class representative on the Student Bar Association, and graduated Cum Laude.

Following law school, Stephen clerked for U.S. District Judge James Lawrence King in Miami. After his clerkship, Stephen joined his father, John Ostrow, in practice. Their two-lawyer firm handled both Federal and State litigation, concentrating on medical malpractice, personal injury, and intellectual property litigation. The firm handled multiple cases resulting in seven-figure verdicts and settlements. While most of their large results came in malpractice and personal injury cases, Stephen also obtained a verdict in Federal Court for over $12 million in a copyright case against a developer.

After years of practice with his father, Stephen was hired to set up and manage a medical malpractice department for a high volume personal injury firm in Orlando. He spent a couple of years creating a practice, training lawyers and staff while handling malpractice cases throughout South and Central Florida.
