I personally have used Peter over the last 12 years two times with two very different cases. I'm so grateful I found him because he is extremely knowledgeable. With the first case it was long and and a lot of work, however Peter was by my side the entire time and never gave up. We won both cases with his expertise. He's very prompt at answering any questions and getting back to you if he's not available. He always made me feel like I was important and not just another client. He's very professional. I would absolutely refer him to anyone. And I already have. Thank you Peter!

Have you ever found yourself hopeless after a situation you felt powerless in? I was in that position until I met Attorney Peter Samuel. From the initial consultation I realized that not only is he very intelligent, but Mr. Samuel also stays informed of new laws which is important in any litigation. I have full faith and trust in him and would highly recommend his services to any individual that needs to feel empowered again. He is compassionate, respectful and a very sincere human being that has your best interests first. Finding this qualities in any lawyer is near impossible - but when you have people like Peter, there is no need to keep searching. He is THE attorney to know.

I was looking for an attorney to protect my rights against discrimination and retaliation in the work place. After many phone calls and phone interviews with to several attorneys, all efforts seemed like a dead end. Through my friend and mentor, God led me to Attorney Mark J Berkowitz. I have never felt so secure having Attorney Mark as my attorney to represent through what might be a lengthy process. As an Electrical Engineer, with an MBA, I appreciate and benefitted from his laser focus on what is relevant information to the filing. He drafted all relevant complaints, filings of discrimination in an expeditious manner. We are not near the end of the process, I feel very secure in his competency, patience, and his accessibility and returning phone calls same day. He met with me on a holiday when the courts were closed. That is how dedicated Attorney Mark Berkowitz is. I highly recommend attorney Mark J. Berkowitz. I want him to represent my case as we navigate the process.

I would definitely recommend Jerrrey to anyone!!! He is very professional and always kept me in the loop on what was going on. The care he has for his clients absolutely shows through his work. He helped me with a complicated workman's comp injury case. I had hired an original attorney who completely dropped the ball and I was afraid too much time had passed to continue with it, but Jeffrey eagerly stepped up to the plate and got everything in order that needed to be done. And with a preexisting condition, it was an uphill fight to begin with. I felt very confident having Jeffrey represent me and cannot thank him enough for helping me put my life back together!! Thank you again!

Kirk was an extremely great attorney.Kirk won the case for me.I could not have had any better representation in my case. The only problem was the jury selection was not good, the jury didn't understand the clear directions they received from the Judge. I believe that false accusations of racism swayed the jury against awarding damages due to me.The City of KCMO which were the defendants have never addressed the acts of retaliation against me and continue to look away from any of their problems in Management.

We've reached Eric to sort out the issues with our employer. He has helped us to close the case gracefully with discussing with the employer's attorney. He is so humble, honest and worked so hard on our case, making sure it's closed. Thank you so much for resolving our issue so deligently and love your transparent process, I've seen several attorneys who will lure money just for talking, but Eric gives less importance to money and more importance to people and work.

It is easy to dismiss a 'perfect' review, but my results were what I needed and not over the top in fees or drama. I employed Ms. Fruchtman to intervene on an employment issue that had be washed over by previous attorneys as too insignificant or politically charged in the non-profit sector. My concerns were taken to heart, letters written, conversations had, and in the end, that is what I wanted. I did not want to go to court or sue over a sexual harassment claim. I wanted to be heard and apologized to by the employer. I wanted the perpetrator fired. I wanted them to acknowledge that they were wrong and that I was still watching them to prevent future misdeeds. They were scared. They listened. I was heard. Finally, I was able to sleep again. The perpetrator was 'retired' and women will be safe at that location. I owe that to her calm and relentless professional pursuit of the truth. They listened. That's what I needed. No court, no drama, just a good result for everyone.

My firm was experiencing a major expense reduction and my position was to be eliminated. There was a meaningful discrepancy between what I believed the firm's obligations were to me and the firm believed their obligations to be relative to severance. I initially engaged with Scott Oswald as he reviewed the merits of my position. Subsequently, David Scher assumed responsibility for advising me and interfacing with the firm. The dynamics of the conversation changed immediately upon Dave's involvement and we had full resolution on primary terms within three weeks. Both attorneys were professional, knowledgable, responsive and very effective in a negotiation environment.

I highly recommend David Scher and The Employment Law Group (TELG) for labor and employment matters. From the outset, he served my interests in a very timely, professional and knowledgeable manner. David is always prepared for opposing counsel's next move. Working with Scott Oswald, the two are a formidable team that protects their clients interests, along with strong involvement and support of the firm. David's skilled handling of my case and cool head led to an out of court settlement early in the litigation, enabling me to save tens of thousands of dollars in upfront costs and possibly two years of litigation and appeals. He along with the team at TELG are to be commended for their commitment to professionalism and protection of the rights of the everyman and the everywoman, who find themselves facing discrimination and retaliation, or other unlawful acts, by employers who believe they can violate the law with impunity. David and TELG prove them wrong!

I wholeheartedly endorse and recommend the law firm of McCormack and McCormack. I worked with this firm for nearly four years and in the end, I had my security clearance reinstated after multiple letters of intent stemming more than a decade. Although I was facing insurmountable odds, Greg McCormack and his highly-skilled paralegal assisted me in navigating the confusing and complex world of security clearances. His decades of experience and shrewd litigation skills overwhelmed the government’s case and left the appeals board without question as to my reliability and trustworthiness. If you are facing a security clearance issue, I strongly recommend you retain the services of Greg McCormack. There is simply too much at stake and relying on your own knowledge or the guidance of a lesser-experienced firm may prove to be an incredibly costly and life-altering mistake. I summary, I owe a debt of gratitude to this firm that I can never repay.

I don't really want to go into specifics of my case (tl;dr it was sticky, delicate, and messy), and instead would like to focus my review on my experience with Queenie, who I hired to represent me. I'll start with results. Queenie was able to advocate for me, and I ended up with an agreement that provided me better protections. She was able to secure more for me than what I thought was possible. This is significant, especially because in these scenarios we don't always know what we can ask for. It's great to have someone in your corner who does, and will do the work to secure that for you. The second thing I want to emphasize is how Queenie did this. She is experienced and knowledgeable, there is no doubt about that. But she also sought an environment that would give me the most leverage, using a wide range of tools and tactics. Queenie threw herself into this and was an aggressive advocate when she needed to be, and a measured advocate when it would be most beneficial to me. That was my experience with her. She also affirmed my role as the client and in the end gave me room to advocate for myself in a manner I could not before. I hope to not be in this situation again, but if I do, and for the many of us who end up here, you want someone like Queenie in your corner.

Aside from that, he is always responding to your calls, ready to answer any questions and most importantly keeps frequent updates on your case. He’s many years experience and loyalty to his clients is a big plus. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a really great lawyer.

I hired Mr Norman for a DUI issue I was involved with in the MD court system. He immediately told me he was not familiar with the judges in my county and didn't specialize in my specific type of case. He then offered to help me locate someone who was. I retained his services anyway and he appeared to work twice as hard as the oposition lawyers to compensate for his lack of comfort in that particular area. By the time we went into negotiations he knew the issues better than the other law team. He went out and researched the issues and reported back to me with options. He brought in experts he found to bolster my case. He was willing to go to court if necessary, which many lawyers are not willing to do. I was impressed with his work habits and straight shooting approach and appreciated his honesty.

I just want to thank Smith + Schwartzstein, LLC. Kathryn Schwartzstein, Esq. is professional, kind and will fight for her client. I can't thank her enough for her legal advice and skill. I was taken back when she listened to my my dad's story and believed in his case. She never doubted any of the events that took place. She was an advocate for my Dad and so very lucky that she is on our side. I can't properly express my heartfelt gratitude for her services. When we first sought legal counsel, our case was riddled with legal issues. It felt like I was being attacked by the other lawyer, but Smith + Schwartzstein., LLC stepped up to the plate in more ways than one. You argued for us against all odds and being kind and compassionate along the way. Your legal counsel has meant the world to us. I would recommend Smith + Schwartzstein, LLC to my family and friends. Sincerely, Ellen

I reached out to Ms. Kingston on two different occasions regarding situations with two different employers. On both occasions, Ms. Kingston analyzed all of the facts involved and put together brilliant strategies and responses. Subsequently, both situations were resolved by Ms. Kingston without need for further litigation. However, if the situations had moved forward, I have no doubts that I was very well positioned for very favorable outcomes in court. Ms. Kingston is extremely knowledgeable and knows the law backwards and forwards. Also, you will find that Ms. Kingston actually cares and will take time to explain your situation with all possible ramifications. 5 star rating plus for Ms. Kingston. If you find yourself in need of legal help regarding employment law, you owe it to yourself to contact Ms. Kingston first. Truly amazing!

Attorney Itzkowitz represented me in a federal suit I filed against some major American corporations after I was raped on the grounds of an American owned hotel in the Cayman Islands 20 years ago. The case was poised to be a truly landmark case on many levels. At the zenith hour to the trial, it was settled out of court for a sum that helped me regain my life and belief in justice. I was literally homeless and had become disabled by my physical and psychic injuries. Although receiving no interest from the American press (except for a superb article in Layers Weekly) the settlement Mark facilitated made some global headlines. An article even appeared in newspapers in Japan. Mark Itzkowitz is a "super-lawyer" of Super Lawyers. His insight and brilliance regarding the international laws which impacted my case was astounding. Mark has also helped me in smaller family type matters since then. I have 100% confidence in Mark Itzkowitz's integrity and ability. 5 stars is not high enough praise.

I hired attorney Joshua Wunderlich after being wrongfully terminated by my employer. After consulting with Mr. Wunderlich and having him review the facts and documentation I was able to provide, he accepted my case. Although he couldn't make any promises, he worked tirelessly and diligently to bring about a favorable outcome. He kept me informed and updated throughout the entire process, and was always prompt in getting back to me when I had questions. He was thorough and stayed on top of things. I felt like he cared about me personally and was committed to seeing that justice was brought about. I highly recommend this attorney.
