I retained The Velez Law Firm after being subjected to a hostile, discriminative, and retaliatory work environment. I was treated unfairly, demoted, and eventually fired after 27 years of employment for speaking out against these matters. I left the job feeling hopeless, depressed, and financially deprived. The situation affected me physically and emotionally. I selected Mark Velez and his team to represent me based on recommendations from my lawyer contacts, and by his proven track record of winning and successfully settling employment discrimination cases. From the moment I began working with Mark Velez and his colleague Natalya Grunwald, they were responsive and professional. Mark helped me weigh all my options and potential course of action, and he set realistic expectations from day one. He listened to all the facts and gave insightful explanations as to what to expect during every phase of my case. Mark worked diligently in getting this matter resolved and getting me compensation for the wrong that was done to me by my former employer. The outcome was more than fair and favorable. My experience with The Velez Law Firm was highly positive, and I strongly recommend Mark and his team to anyone that has experienced employment discrimination and retaliation.

Mark Velez took on my Employment discrimination case. I was written up and fired for not completing my job in a timely manner after returning back to work for medical leave. I was out of work for 8 weeks on mental disability leave. I spoke to Mr. Velez for a consultation and he immediately reassured me that being fired was not my fault. Mr. Velez and his team worked tirelessly on my case. Kept me informed at all times and finally won my case. I couldn't have found a better lawyer. Mark Velez is truly a Bulldog in the industry. Highly recommended!

I only spoke with Mark one time before the initial settlement conference. He was obviously unfamiliar with my case. The judge told him that the statue of limitations was up on an important aspect of my case. He was an embarrassment to me. He was the rudest person that I know. He later tried to tell me my case was over when it wasn't. I came away with a small settlement, no job and an IRS bill for $7000. His wife also an attorney said it wasn't taxable.
