David Sacks is a great attorney! David handled my case that took a few years and handed some of the top corporate attorneys in the industry quite a fight! David is smart and fearless he will not be bullied! I have been involved with illegal termination defense multiple years. David stands up fights and will not be pushed around. You cannot win all of them but the otherside will know they are in a fight when you hire David to defend your rights! You want him on your team!

I hired Mr Sacks back in 2016 to represent me in a lawsuit against my former employer. If I could go back in time and do it all over again would I hire Mr Sacks? Absolutely not. The first time I spoke with Mr Sacks over the phone I obviously did not answer his question properly. About 2 minutes into the conversation when he asked me a question and I answered it he immediately started yelling at me. He told me that a judge and jury would never accept my answer. This struck me as very odd. I had been talking with Mr Sacks for the very first time for a total of maybe 2 minutes and already he was yelling at me as if I were supposed to know exactly what to say, what to do and how to act ? Wow.
I will not tell you what you want to hear about Mr Sacks. I will tell you what you NEED to hear about Mr Sacks. I firmly believe that Mr Sacks had determined the outcome of my case long before the final day of mediation. Many of my questions went unanswered and Mr Sacks would simply say to me "trust me". BIG MISTAKE on my part when I did. The final day of mediation is when I realized that I was intentionally left in the dark by Mr Sacks as far as certain specific details of my case were concerned. The mediator was shocked at certain things that did or did not occur during the entire process and duration of my case. So was I. I feel as if the primary objective of Mr Sacks is to keep his client in the dark and to reveal as little information about important details of the case as possible. This will keep his client uninformed to a certain extent and will also allow Mr Sacks to have full control of the outcome of the case. Not to mention, this will also allow him to do so with little or no resistance from his client at all. If Mr Sacks sends his client to a gun fight armed with a butter knife then usually his client will be backed into a corner and forced to submit with little or no resistance at all. I also feel as if this was not Mr Sacks' first rodeo. The day before mediation Mr Sacks refused to answer specific and very important questions of mine as far as how mediation would actually take place and totally blew me off. Mr Sacks told me that " he had many other clients to deal with that day and would just see me in the morning at mediation." Unbelievable !! It seemed as if both Mr Sacks and opposing counsel were doing nothing more than trying to put on a show for everyone the entire time. Many times during depositions Mr Sacks would try to appear to be angry and would get loud and raise his voice at the opposing attorney that represented my former employer. It also seemed as if opposing counsel would "object to form" or object to many other irrelevant aspects of a question simply to disrupt the flow of the questioning that took place during depositions. As far as I was concerned it was nothing more than "posturing on steroids" that was mixed with nonstop blathering by opposing counsel with the objections that were being made every 20 seconds. Sometimes I felt as if I were watching a low budget reality tv show. It was ridiculous at times as far I was concerned and also a very weak attempt to mislead clients that were involved in the case as well as the mediator. The mediator also seemed to be aggravated with certain aspects of the case along with pertinent details that were conveniently left out or not addressed at all. I learned much more about my case from the mediator during the few unnecessary hours spent during mediation than I did the entire time I spent with Mr Sacks on my case. As I mentioned before, I feel as if the final outcome of my case had been decided behind closed doors and long before mediation even took place. During mediation is when I realized what might have actually taken place the entire time and also determined the final outcome of my case, or left me with an ultimatum as far as I was concerned.
Due diligence is golden. Food for thought.

I visited MA this past week on an employment matter. [Fees were clearly noted prior to the consult]
His questions were focused and correctly directed me to issues of which I was unaware, but now am.
He was warm, helpful, professional, courteous and direct. I couldn't have asked for anything more.
While my meeting was a consult, I expect to retain him as my issue unfolds.

I reached out to Maurice with an international employment issue where my company wasn't honoring their verbal contracts with me or providing me with legality in the country I was working in. Maurice truly Helped guide me through the process to get the best possible outcome and to understand the law as well as my ability within the legal framework. I wasn't able to get 100% of my rights but I was able to get a sizeable win with his coaching.

Yvette Everhart at Sass Law Firm provided exceptional legal support that far exceeded my expectations. Her balanced perspective and expertise were invaluable as she guided me through a complex employment situation . Throughout the process, Ms. Yvette demonstrated remarkable skill in exploring various possibilities and negotiating on my behalf. Her abilities truly stood out when it came to securing a resolution.
What truly set Ms. Everhart apart was her unwavering support and understanding during this challenging time. Her compassionate approach, combined with her legal acumen, was crucial to the successful resolution of my case.

When I found the Sass Law Firm I was experiencing a great deal of emotional pain. I needed an attorney who would listen to me, was professional, had great knowledge about my circumstances, could effectively communicate with me and had the ability to guide me towards the best resolution for my case. Most importantly, I needed someone who would respect my decisions on the progression of my case despite the potential benefits or consequences; whether they were in agreement or not. Ms. Sass has all of those qualities and much more. She and her team are efficient, courteous and exceptionally responsive. Sass Law Firm is not an inexpensive service, but it is an investment in your peace of mind and the procurement of a fierce legal advocate who is championing your cause. Selecting this law firm for a consultation or to litigate your case would be a wise decision. I pray that you choose wisely…I did.

My cousin Gaby needed an attorney to handle a long, overdue divorce. English is not her first language and she was really nervous about the entire process. Daniel and his team were fantastic! They made everything easy and stress free and before she knew it, she was divorced and it was all over. Divorce is never pleasant, but having a great attorney on your team can make a big difference in your stress level.

I went to five different lawyers before choosing Daniel Forrest., and I am so glad I went with Dan. He gave me a breakdown of everything I needed to know in a way that was easy to understand. He took special care to understand the issues in my case and the needs of my family during a difficult time. In my opinion, his office never let anything fall to the wayside. They were on top of it. It is clear that Dan has a wealth of knowledge and experience. I always felt confident in him. He never made me feel like I had to concede on the things that were important to me in this case. If you need a strong lawyer, go with Daniel Forrest!

I'm giving 5 stars and haven't even signed a contract yet with them. I have shopped around with my case with multiple other firms, and had offers. However, this firm caught my attention immediately with their fast responses in emails, phone calls with intake, and moving into a conversation with a lawyer within a day or two. Teri and Jesus from the intake process / information collection were amazing.
I'm choosing this firm based on their perseverance and care with my unfortunate situation BEFORE being accepted into their family. I know they will do what they can for me better than most other firms already. Thank you for everything you have done so far!

They got in touch about my case quickly which was great, but the intake counselor (as sweet and helpful as she was) did not seem well prepared to discuss my case and the paralegal I spoke to seemed to become adversarial and dismissive through the course of our conversation. She complained about how much time our call had taken and kept laughing as she told me repeatedly that the attorney most likely wouldn't read all of my documentation before making a decision about whether to take my case. I found this behavior shocking and aggressive and declined to continue pursuing representation from this firm

I hired Greg Owens for my Workerman Comp Case; although he was personable; he didn’t do right by me. The Attorney for the Insurance Company talked him into taking out taxes from my Settlement amount; and it wasn’t until after the fact that I learned that Settlements are Tax-
Free. So basically; due to Greg Owen’s lack of knowledge; I lost money I should’ve had in my pocket. When I called him to get a response; he told his assistant to tell me to go and hire a CPA? Thanks Greg!
I wouldn’t recommend Greg for anytime of Workerman’s Comp or Unemployment case.

I retained Mr. Owens recently and we are only in the beginning stages of my case. In the few weeks we've been working together he has gone above and beyond to respond to my emails and reach out to me with updates. Being in the legal profession myself, you often do not find an extremely responsive attorney that takes their "off the clock" time to respond and reach out. I'm extremely impressed with his responsiveness and compassion. I definitely felt extremely comfortable moving forward with Mr. Owens and I know he'll work hard to advocate for me as he has already done so.
I definitely recommend Mr. Owens as you would not be dissatisfied. Nothing is a guarantee; however knowing your attorney is hard at work for you that in itself is a win.

Greg Owens was superb in handling my Wrongful Termination Case. I had contacted other Attorneys, but by far he was the most Professional, Diligent, and Respectable. I can say without a Doubt; if it wasn't for Greg Owens and his Law Partner; Miguel Bouza, I would still be trying to finish my case. I highly recommend Greg Owens; I would use him again without any hesitation. Thank you.

Do not go near this woman! She is a disaster! Dropped me like a hot box of rocks when she got pregnant. Lied about progress. Failed to communicate. Ignored me for three months. Showed up with a text today saying how sorry she is to decide to close her practice. She already missed a statute of limitations. Said she “has walked this journey with me”. How absurd. She is unstable if she thinks this!

My employer "eliminated my position" when I took a FMLA approved leave in October 2017. I interviewed several attorneys and selected KC to handle my case.
KC was extremely knowledgeable and within minutes of our initial meeting ending, she had already sent documents to the company to inform them of our intent to file a lawsuit. Within a few weeks, she was working with them to get me an acceptable severance.
KC was able to get me almost 9 times what my past employer had told me was all they would agree to giving me. The negotiations were complete in less than 60 days.
KC was not only knowledgeable and confident but her communication with me was outstanding. This all occured during the holidays and she kept me informed through everything.
I highly recommend KC and am beyond pleased with the outcome.

Samuel Kanupp represented me in a difficult Whistleblower, FMLA retaliation case, unlawful termination. He is passionate about his work and advocating for those who are unlawfully wronged by current or previous employers. I could not have asked for better representation, Mr. Kanupp quickly understood my situation and the facts of my case. He is extraordinarily well versed in Employment Law, and is passionate about helping people who have suffered unlawful retaliation in his or her employment. Mr. Kanupp is a tireless and compassionate advocate for his client. He submitted all court documents timely and thoroughly, he kept me updated on the process, prepped me for depositions, mediation and counseled me in all aspects of my case. I am most impressed by his ability to direct examine witnesses in deposition. He came well prepared and did a great job. I felt vindicated by the proceedings. It was a healing experience for me to sit-in on the depositions of my former employer with Mr. Kanupp

As a senior paralegal, I have worked with many, many lawyers over the past 30 years. Mr. Thomas is one of the greater advocates I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I am very grateful to have had him in my corner for this critical legal action. He was very knowledgeable of the legal issues of my case and ferreted out the relevant facts to address and apply towards those issues. I could not have asked for a better advocate working on my behalf. When it came to my hearing, he went in with a "let's get to work" attitude. He was easy to work with and kept me informed at every decision point. I cannot thank Mr. Thomas enough for the time and attention in placed toward my case. I would highly recommend Mr. Thomas and his team for any action requiring a labor law attorney.

Attorney Thomas has a great reputation for being a strong arm protector of employee civil rights. Especially with all the obstacles he faces with Florida laws in favor of the employer. He has his work cut out for him because of the horrific laws. However, he is a great attorney and will work very hard to protect his clients no matter what obstacles in his way. Thank you Attorney Archibald (and his Paralrgal Daniella) for taking on my case and protecting my civil rights!

I was accepted as a client for a discrimination case against a former employer and signed the contract with them in May. I never filed a complaint with the EEOC because I ignorantly assumed that my attorney would be handling that for me. They waited until October, one month past the deadline to file with the EEOC, to notify me that they were dropping me as a client because they aren't licensed to practice in the state that I live in. Absolutely unacceptable!

After doing some initial research, we emailed a recap of what we felt was my husband's law suit. An appointment was set with Attorney Tony Cabassa; who felt my husband had a case. Attorney Cabassa explained the procedures, and gave us his prognosis. We chose to sign the contract and the outcome was as Mr. Cabassa projected. This firm is excellent on return communication; which helps relieve the stress of having to file a lawsuit I would highly recommend.

Ware has now represented/advised me on 4 different legal matters, and two of them were not a formal engagement, but just reflective of his hidden compassion, whereas he never asked for a penny for his attentive help to educate my engaged attorney’s that only focused on billing!
Ware has responded to messages during the early hours to quell my fears!
Or his generosity of his off hours, by taking time on a Sunday, or while vacationing in the keys with limited cell service to address my concerns, that no attorney of his caliber would ever do, especially after 40+ years of private practice!
He will try to and states that he keeps the emotions out of his process, and that he cant take an emotional stake in my cases, and he adamantly sticks to the rule of law, but his generosity of his time and help in cases that he has no financial interest in suggests otherwise. I have unfortunately had to engage 8 lawyers over the last 6 years, and his professionalism and his understated genuine hidden nature to protect and nurture his clients is a quality that reveals itself over the years. He genuinely cares to the accuracy and legal adherence to the rule of law and is beyond generous with his time! His assistant “Brittne” is so sweet, compassionate and reflects Wares’s core values.. in my opinion” integrity, honesty, caring compassionate advocate of my rights” I have not been 100% successful in all the matters that was represented for me. But if you want to have an attorney that is so brilliant and detailed and attentive, then Mr Cornell is the only lawyer you should consider. His is unlike any attorney I have ever engaged and if you want representation by the “shark” whereas all other attorneys swim in his pond!

We met regarding a labor case involving my employer and an ongoing Disablity discrimination and retaliatory harassment case. Even though we have not formally filed any charges because of special reasons, he already knows what he has to do to reduce expenses and get the end result we would like to see. He has measured the cons against the pros and gave his opinion based on what he knows about my employer and the type of courts we have here in Florida. My impression is that He is very knowledgeable and a matter of fact which I value in a lawyer. I appreciated his honesty even if it was not information I wants to hear. He offered his expertise opinion on how to deal with the case which was a wait and see after I am fired. Even though I’m not happy with having to continue to be harassed and the hostile working conditions I am being subjected to, I know that he will be the best to represent me because he has a plan in place. Immediately after my consultation, I provided over 700 pages of my evidence to him and with a small consultant fee he reviewed it over several weeks. He then scheduled me a few weeks later to discuss the plan and the pros and cons of my case. He did not charge a second consult fee and advised me of the approximate amount it would cost me to hire him for arbitration. He already knows the direction my case will have and what he needs to do. Based on this I feel he is competent and trustworthy. I am confident that he will deliver when the time comes. If you want to consult with an expert labor attorney please do not hesitate to meet with him and get the opinion of a true specialty attorney.

I met with Ware when he was recommended by a friend. I liked him right away, and I hired him. It was my first time hiring an attorney, and I should have asked him more questions to understand his work style. But I liked him and trusted my friend's recommendation.
I would have been happier working with an organized, strategic planner. If I had received a phone call or email every couple of months with an update on my case, that would have been better. Had Ware spelled out the specifics of my financial obligations to him up front instead of sending me seemingly random and sporadic invoices, I would have trusted him more.
But what really bothered me is that Ware took away ownership of my case. I told him I wanted to be at all the depositions for my case, but instead he held them without my knowledge. He did not consult with me to learn details that these depositions could have brought to light. I never heard from him after depositions with a summary of what took place. As I see it, this was my case, and Ware was there to help me, but he seemed to think I had little role in it.
In the end, the real value of my case was over 200K less than his original estimate. When did he break this news to me? On the morning before the final mediation.
It's been two years since my case concluded, and I waited to write this review because I wanted to see if time would soften my perspective. In the past two years, I've gotten to know dozens of attorneys through my current job, and have a clearer picture of attorneys can potentially operate. They can be organized. They can be transparent communicators. They can keep their clients in the loop. But Ware doesn't.

Chris is a great guy and incredibly knowledgeable with regards to employment and labor law. His follow-through and responsiveness needs significant improvement.

Mr. Minick was very unprofessional in my matter. He was rude and didn’t display any interest in my case about a loss of compensation from a company.
Do not recommend him!

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.
When Should I Hire a Sexual Harassment Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a sexual harassment lawyer in the following situations:
-
For Employees:
- Experiencing workplace harassment: If you are subjected to unwelcome sexual advances, comments, or behavior that creates a hostile or offensive work environment, a lawyer can help you understand your rights and the steps to take.
- Retaliation for reporting harassment: If you've reported harassment to your employer and are facing retaliation such as demotion, termination, or other adverse actions, a lawyer can help protect your rights.
- 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.
- Constructive dismissal: If the harassment is so severe that you feel forced to resign, a lawyer can help you pursue a claim for constructive dismissal.
- Negotiating settlements: If you're considering a settlement with your employer, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you receive fair compensation.
-
For Employers:
- Receiving a harassment complaint: If an employee has filed a harassment complaint, a lawyer can guide you through the legal obligations for investigating and addressing the complaint.
- Implementing anti-harassment policies: A lawyer can help you develop and implement policies and training programs to prevent harassment and protect your organization legally.
- Defending against claims: If your organization is facing a harassment lawsuit, a lawyer can represent you in court or during settlement negotiations.
Hiring a lawyer early can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you take the appropriate legal steps.

How Are Sexual Harassment Lawyers Paid?
Sexual harassment lawyers typically charge for their services in various ways, depending on the nature of the case and representation:
-
For Employees:
- Contingency fee: Many lawyers represent employees on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case. The fee is usually a percentage of the recovered amount, typically ranging from 25% to 40%.
- Hourly rate: Some lawyers may charge an hourly rate, especially if the case is unlikely to result in monetary compensation but still requires legal assistance.
-
For Employers:
- Hourly rate: Lawyers representing employers usually charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $200 to $600 or more, depending on their experience and the case complexity.
- Retainer: Employers may pay a retainer fee for ongoing legal services, especially if they require regular legal counsel on employment matters.
It's important to discuss fees during the initial consultation to understand the cost structure and any additional expenses.
How Much Does a Sexual Harassment Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a sexual harassment lawyer varies based on several factors:
-
For Employees:
- Contingency fees: If working on a contingency basis, you typically won't pay any upfront fees. If you win or settle, the lawyer's fee will be a percentage of the compensation. For example, if you settle for $50,000 with a 30% contingency fee, the lawyer would receive $15,000.
- Hourly rates: If charged hourly, fees can range from $200 to $600 per hour. Total costs depend on the number of hours worked.
-
For Employers:
- Hourly rates: Legal fees can range from $200 to $600 per hour. A straightforward case might cost between $5,000 and $20,000, while more complex litigation could exceed $50,000.
- Retainer fees: Ongoing legal services may require a retainer ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 or more, depending on the anticipated legal work.
Always request a detailed fee agreement to understand all potential costs.
