I met Peter Jasen in 2002 after my first accident at an amusement park. He talked with me at length on what I needed to do and the next day was at my home to see how I was and discuss my case. He helped me through all the medical issues I was going through, was there for some of my appointments and always there by phone to add support during this horrible time.
In 2009 I also had two auto accidents 6 months apart. Both happened in the evening hours and I called Mr. Jasen and got a return response from him immediately. He pointed me in the direction I needed to go to receive the medical help I needed. With these two accidents being more severe he was there often to doctor appointments, check up calls to be updated on my condition and lots of excellent advice along the way. At times I was confused on all that was happening to me and he knew how to handle my stress and guide me.
Mr. Jasen also knew where I should send my truck for the repairs and stayed on top of everything there while I was being taken care of medically and couldn`t. All repairs were done to perfection and I was totally satisfied. I appreciated that Mr. Jasen was there helping and making sure all things were done right for my future driving safety.
I had small issues that I also called him on and he handled and gave me direction . Never once did I ever feel I was a bother to him even though they were little questions I needed to ask.
Mr. Jasen is the type of man that`s 100 % perfessional and truly cares about the people and what`s right for them. He knows the law and stands by his clients who need him. He always calls back in a timely fashion and never cuts you off when talking to you. He is patience but firm and will always be honest about what`s going on with your issue. All of my appointments were kept and on time. Never was any of them post poned or canceled for another date. My issues were addressed and I felt safe with all his help.
Mr. Jasen is a terrific lawyer with a lot of knowledge of the law and I will continue to use him if needed and have recommended him to others which are totally satistfied with his work.
I appreciate Peter Jasen Attorney for everything and all he has done for my family and I. Top notch lawyer and the best at being a caring human being. Settled my cases to my satifaction and never over charged me for anything. In my opinion he was a fair and understanding person/lawyer and someone you can totally trust..
Thank~you,
Colleen Stanton

During the time that we were going through the process of processing the processes that were connected with the estate of our mother, it turned out that Russel was of great support to us. His ability to communicate was excellent, and he never failed to respond to our emails and phone calls in a timely manner. He never missed an opportunity to respond to any of our inquiries. The services that he offers come our highest recommendation, and we have no reservations about recommending them.

I can’t say Thank You enough to this law firm and Eric Winnert! We live approximately 5 hours from the office and Eric came to our home to get the much needed paperwork signed by my very ill spouse for a mesothelioma law suit. Poor man had to drive through the snow belt in February just to make sure we got what was needed before anything happened. Whenever I have questions and need to contact him, he is always there to give me answers. He has walked me step by step through every part of the process as my spouse was terminal and passed. Even when I haven’t bothered him in awhile, he will shoot me a text with any needed updates on our case! He’s very caring, empathetic , and personable with his clients and their family! No matter what we threw at him he always had a smile and a chuckle while maintaining his professionalism! Great Job Eric and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you have done and continue to do for me.

I became a client of Hurwitz Whitcher & Malloy in November of 2020 due to injuries I sustained transporting equipment to Work from Home during the pandemic on April 7, 2020. I already have a disability, born missing my left limb & no joint in my right thumb. After trying to fight compensation on my own, they consistently denied every procedure that was being requested to get me back to work, my doctor’s office suggested that I get a lawyer.
I was referred Hurwitz Whitcher & Malloy by a friend. My first contact was Patricia Hagerty, my anxiety was so high that I couldn’t even complete a sentence. I felt crazy, scared & embarrassed. She took my information & said someone would get back to me. She also, assured me that everything would be ok, try to relax & not think about his.
Karen Small handled my case & she kept me up to date on the process step by step. If there was something I did not understand, she would explain until I did. After hard work & dedication, delays, setbacks, we won July 2024.
I had trouble getting my medications, so I spoke with Sam Firestein concerning this matter. Within an hour, the issues were resolved & he followed the next week up to make sure I received the medication as scheduled & that everything was ok.
Kate Malloy handled Social Security on my behalf, job well-done.
From my first encounter with your firm until today, I felt like the team cared. I am entirely satisfied with the way this firm has treated me, they showed compassion, cares, concerns & handled every aspect of my case in a personal & professional manner. This whole process was confusing & at times I was very upset, sick in my mind & body, but this firm saved the day. Sometimes thank you doesn’t seem to be enough, but I truly thank you for all you have done for me. Thank you for assisting me through this plight over the past 4 years of my life & in the future. I was assured that I was with the best compensation attorneys & that is a true statement.
I highly recommend this firm, if you are an injured worker, don’t try to fight them alone, don’t hesitate to contact Hurwitz, Whitcher & Malloy, they helped me every step of the way, & they’ll take care of you too. I am indeed a satisfied client; I feel like I’m a part of the family.

I am very impressed with Mr. Slepian's work ethic. I consulted him with a question about possible actions to take, and he took the time to thoroughly understand the background of my immigration process. He was the first lawyer to do this, and as a non-native speaker, I really appreciated that he spoke slowly and clearly. He also didn’t try to push his services on me. Instead, he made me feel very relieved. If I ever need an immigration lawyer, he will be my first choice.

My husband and I had a very positive experience with Andrew Slepian, who assisted us in adjusting my husband's immigration status from visa to green card. Andrew made the process smooth and easy to understand. He answered all of our questions thoroughly and clearly outlined exactly the steps we needed to take. We look forward to continuing to work with Andrew on the next steps in our journey, as my husband works toward obtaining his U.S. citizenship.

His knowledge of immigration law and commitment to personalized client service made a potentially overwhelming process feel manageable.

She's a FAST TALKER! She invited me to her office to discuss my situation and to determine if she thought I had a case. Before we even spoke I had to pay $275, she proceeded to use our entire meeting telling or should I say selling me on how amazing she is. She told me she would take my case before ever allowing me to speak. I had 24 hrs to decide and at that time I needed to drop another $2500 to retain her. She said she won EEOC/DHR cases all the time and this was a "no brainer" and that was pretty accurate. She used her assistant who was writing my rebuttal the day before it was due and I had to correct the misinformation. She did not call in my witnesses for statements because she was sure she had a case and would get to that AFTER my hearing. Well, she showed up LATE, made an appearance, left me with her assistant and I lost the hearing....and $2775. She actually had the audacity to have her intern call me to ask me if I wanted to APPEAL the decision. For a more money of course. I DID have a case if she would have done the work.

Minimum effort, hour padding, waste of time. I regret ever dealing with this attorney. Easy payday for him as nothing was really accomplished.

What a Sexual Harassment Lawyer Can Do for You
A sexual harassment lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have experienced unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that affects their employment or creates a hostile work environment. These lawyers help victims understand their rights under federal and state laws, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, and guide them through the process of filing complaints, negotiating settlements, or pursuing litigation. They also assist employers in implementing anti-harassment policies, conducting investigations, and defending against claims.
Whether you're an employee facing harassment or an employer seeking to address or prevent harassment claims, a sexual harassment lawyer can provide the legal expertise needed to navigate these sensitive issues.

- Failure of employer to address complaints: If your employer does not take appropriate action after you've reported harassment, a lawyer can advise on how to escalate the matter legally.
