I had a fabulous experience working with Maduegbuna Cooper LLP. As a fellow attorney, I appreciated their professionalism and dedication to my case. In particular, Sam Maduegbuna impressed me with his understanding of the employment law issues, along with his practical skills while taking depositions. I would 100% recommend Maduegbuna Cooper LLP to anyone in need of employment attorneys.

I have had nothing but positive experiences with Susan. Not only does she have excellent communication skill and its easy to get in touch with her but she also goes above and beyond to make sure all my questions and concerns are answered. She has walked me through the process of my case and always made sure I understood what was going on and that I was comfortable with every step we took. After being wrongly terminated from my job, I contacted Susan through this website and she got right to work making sure I understood my rights and the steps we were going to take. She was always available for any concerns I had, and always answered my emails and messages even though it was the weekend. Susan is highly competent as a lawyer and I would highly recommend her as an attorney because she goes above and beyond to make sure you get the justice you need.
I have also had the pleasure to know Mr. Charles CARANICAS who has been a great support system in my case. During my meetings with Susan, he was also there to make sure I understood what was going on. He always brought in new contact and information to help with my case. He also called me in behalf of his wife to go through a contract agreement step-by-step and made sure I understood the clause and was comfortable with it. Working with Susan and Mr. Charles put you in good hands because they acknowledge whatever you have to say and you never feel that any of your concerns are ignored no matter how small. I would highly recommend him as an attorney.

My experience with Kramer, Dunleavy & Ratchik, PLLC was breathtaking. I was run over by a car in Harlem while crossing a crosswalk with the right of way. The guy driving was 100% at fault. The state bar of NY enthusiastically recommend I set up a consultation with them. So I had a 5 minute call with his paralegal, Joanne O’Connell, it was nice. She wanted me to send my neurologist medical records to review and the detailed police report. Made it happen. Then, all communication ceased. No email was replied to thereafter. The only reason I can come up with is that Kramer, Dunleavy & Ratchik genuinely believe there is no merit in finding justice for pedestrians who wrongfully get run over by a car in the state of New York left with long-term injuries.
So I found an actual attorney who got to work, now everything is good.
This concludes my final thoughts on KD&R for now. I’m extremely honored to have been in Joanne’s presence. She and KD&R are extraordinary human beings - but has no follow through and all that talk lead to nothing.
I think they’re great. Keep up the work.

I recently worked with Kerner & Kerner Law Firm on a personal injury case after a car accident. After my accident, I was overwhelmed with medical bills and insurance claims. Lawyer Kenneth and his team were incredibly supportive and guided me through every step. The team was always available to answer my questions, and they kept me updated throughout the process. Their expertise and dedication resulted in a favorable settlement. I appreciated how Lawyer Kenneth explained complex legal terms in a way I could understand and made me feel confident in our case. Thanks to their hard work, I received a settlement that covered my medical expenses and more. I highly recommend Kerner & Kerner Law Firm to anyone in need of a dedicated and knowledgeable accident law firm.”

After I tripped on an uneven sidewalk on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, my neighbor, a longstanding friend, introduced me to attorney Jonathan Ratchik who took my case on as he and the doctors deemed my left foot was severely injured.
The landlord had failed to properly maintain the sidewalk in front of the brownstone he owned, posing a clear and present danger to pedestrians.
Mr. Ratchik knows his law. He is patient and thorough. He guided me well, coached me thoroughly on the procedures, and allowed me to make decisions about medical treatment and the course of our legal action which took nearly three years when the landlord’s insurance company offered a fair settlement which we accepted.
If you have a bad fall, call Jonathan Ratchik who will turn your bad fall into a good trip.

My case took around 3 years, and when I was ready to give up the gave me the push and motivation I needed. I appreciate them for validating my feelings and pushing me to stand up for myself. Megan is extremely passionate and I'm grateful to have her in my corner. I can't thank her and her team enough.

Ms Goddard held my former employer accountable for a fair and appropriate separation settlement. I would have never been able to apply the necessary legal pressure in order to reach this result. Ms Goddard was the consummate advocate and professional. She helped me articulate my case in an accurate, compelling but dispassionate way and masterfully managed the conversations and all legal interactions with the EEOC and my former employer. I would - and will - recommend her to anyone who needs a legal advocate in order in order to reach a fair and equitable agreement with a prospective, current, or previous employer.

My case took over 3 years, but never once did I doubt that I was in good hands. Megan and her team were supportive from the very beginning... they took me on as a client after another male-led firm said I have a valid claim but it wasn't worth their time and pursuit. She understood why this was so important to me, as a reflection of my values and commitment to justice, and agreed to help me on this journey of accountability.
Although I worked with several attorneys on her team (who were all amazing!), eventually Megan personally managed my case to the end. She was very transparent about everything happening, allowed me to "be in the weeds" when I wanted to be, always shared the pros and cons of the decisions I considered, and was so responsive whenever I needed to connect. In addition to being a great advocate, she was such a wonderful listener (and yes, we had many late night calls filled with tears and fears).
Megan and her team are professional, well-versed and experienced in employment discrimination law, and they are fierce! Despite being a small firm, you never feel abandoned and instead, it feels like you have an entire army behind you, encouraging you, and fighting for you even when you aren't in the room. Overall, I highly recommend the services of Goddard Law PLLC.

I was referred to attorney Hardaway by a few MBA school classmates that had several good experiences working with attorney Hardaway. He was successful handling high stakes litigation and transactions. Johnathon is a genius, the most intelligent and strategic thinking person I have ever met. At our first meeting he listened patiently, thereafter he outlined a six-month plan to resolve how best to negotiate and sell my corporation and the commercial property it sits on at or above my desired price. Then he delivered methodically. When there were unforeseen problems he resolved them quickly. I recommend Johnathon Hardaway to anyone seeking a great business lawyer and strategic thinker.

I hired attorney Johnathon Hardaway to negotiate a $11 million restricted unit agreement. He did an excellent job. Thanks to his understanding of the law and "I am only asking for what is fair" negotiating style, I got a contract that far exceeded my expectations. He accurately anticipated the other sides moves. I recommend attorney Hardaway to anyone seeking an attorney.

I had the pleasure of working with Steven Sack, and I cannot express my gratitude enough for the exceptional job he did. His efficiency is unparalleled; Steven worked tirelessly and promptly to address my employment issue, demonstrating a remarkable speed in handling legal matters. What truly sets him apart was his incredible responsiveness – he even scheduled calls with me on Sundays to ensure that all my concerns were addressed promptly and thoroughly.
Moreover, Steven went above and beyond by sending me a complimentary copy of his book on Employee Rights. This gesture not only showcased his dedication to educating clients but also proved invaluable in helping me understand my rights in the workplace. With Steven Sack by my side, I felt confident and empowered throughout the entire process. There really isn't a better employment lawyer in the state of New York, and I am grateful for the outstanding service he provided.

I am grateful that I was referred to Steven Sack by another law firm. I felt my options were limited and that perhaps a satisfactory resolution was impossible. Then I met Steven Sack. Professional, no-nonsense, and extremely empathetic is what I found within 5 minutes of speaking with Steven. His guidance and support in navigating the process was invaluable. His expertise led to a quick and positive outcome - a severance much more than I had imagined. I am grateful for his hard work and dedication to my case. I highly recommend Steven Sack without reservation.

Mr. Sack is nothing short of amazing and I can’t recommend him enough!
After being fired a few days ago, I scheduled a same-day appointment with Mr. Sack to discuss my options. I met with him at 3 pm, and by 4:30, he successfully changed the terms of my severance agreement to include everything I requested and more! I couldn’t believe it!
If you’re anything like me and are feeling lost and hopeless after being fired, Mr. Sack is the advocate you need in your organization corner! He’ll fight to get you what you are owed and deserve (and it’s way more than you think!), empower you with knowledge about your employee rights, restore your sense of hope — and he’ll do it quickly!

I found Peter online , he responded fast and invited me in for a free consultation. He quickly knew all angles to build a decent case. I received a decent settlement in months , NOT YEARS. He is thorough and responsive and gave excellent advice. I don’t usually leave reviews but Peter truly deserves one for a job well done !

After almost 20 years of service to my employer I found myself in need of legal advice. I reached out to a friend who is a highly regarded Attorney in Westchester County N.Y. for advice. Although employment law is not his specialty, he recommended that I contact Howard Schragin of Sapir-Schragin LLP. Without hesitation I took his advice and contacted Howard. Mr. Schragin took the time to listen to me and understand my situation and frustrations. He offered his advice and painted a clear and concise picture of the law and possible considerations and outcomes. I must tell you that he made me feel comfortable in a very uncomfortable situation. With Howard by my side I was able to make good decisions based on his great advice to elicit a positive outcome that exceeded my expectations. Not only does Howard fully engage with his clients he really tries to relate to their situation. If you are in need of legal advice, related to an employment or workplace situation, you owe it to yourself to contact Howard Schragin for a consultation. It will be the best call you can possibly make.

Howard represented me and my spouse in unrelated employment matters. He listened patiently during our consultations and asked insightful questions before explaining our options clearly and offering his recommendations. He took the time to answer our questions and incorporated our feedback. Howard gave us sound advice each time and facilitated fair resolutions in the face of very serious extenuating circumstances. I could go on, but suffice it to say we would recommend him without reservation to anyone struggling with issues at work.

I hired Mr. Pappas for my wages and tips case against my former employer. I worked for the company for 10+ yrs. I had no idea that I was being paid incorrectly and unfairly until a coworker read a similar case in an article. I researched and called Mr. Pappas for legal advice. He was friendly, polite, and heard my case start to finish. He told me indeed I was being underpaid and that I'm owed all lost wages+tips going back up to 6 years (NY state law). At the end I was able to recover my wages, tips, plus another $10,000 in fines. I was surprised how much I was able to receive even after I left my job...one thing that stood out was he always answered my emails and calls (which was a HUGE deal as I've dealt with lawyers in the past who never answer their phones!) I highly recommend Mr. Pappas, 5 stars all the way

Matt quickly and efficiently advised me in a time-sensitive manner on a non-compete and its interplay with a severance agreement as I was about to transition to a new company. He explained the different parts and how they affected my options going forward, and offered several paths that I could pursue. I was senior enough in the company to have restrictions on where I could go as there were questions about how the two companies competed in the same general segment. His letters were organized and easy to understand, handled the facts of the matter, advised on New York law, and most importantly were very practical in how to engage both employers. I was referred to Matt by a family member and would recommend anyone in the NY area needing advice on a non-compete or severance agreement to check with him.

Orit was exactly what I needed in an attorney. She is smart, astute, professional, and accessible. She doesn’t speak over her clients heads, but at the same time, doesn’t speak down to you either. She is direct and sets reasonable expectations and walks her clients through the process without judgement. I found her style comforting without being patronizing. Based on my needs, she was able to customize her approach and positioned us to take advantage of the strengths of both my case and myself, without making me feel like the issue was mine alone. My case and the approach was somewhat unique , and not every lawyer would have guided me like she did. I would not only happily use her again, but would refer her to others. I find her welcoming to all groups of people, which is important in these types of situations. I respect her immensely as a legal talent, and find her personality engaging to the point where she would always have an invitation to Thanksgiving dinner! Thanks, Orit. I appreciate your efforts on my behalf. You made moving on to bigger and better things so much easier.

Mr. Gross is a very knowledgeable attorney. I'd say his best qualities are being very honest and ethical, which are unfortunately in rare supply these days. You'll understand when you speak to him. There is straight talk with no hidden agendas, fees and surprises later. My primary needs have been for matters concerning general business and employment issues such as those concerning contract breaches, corporate formation and general agreements and contract review. On the employment side it's everything you'd expect from running a business. Mr. Gross is very timely in getting back to me, another skill which is in rare supply among attorneys (unless they really need something from you.) If you have the opportunity to meet, I would suggest you see for yourself. I'm confident you'll be convinced of the same as myself and felt like saying so here without reservation.

I spoke with three other employment lawyers before a friend recommended Scott to me. At the end of our first conversation I knew he was the one I wanted to represent me. He understood my unfortunate workplace situation immediately and explained to me, in layman's terms, the liabilities, claims, and possible directions to pursue. Throughout the process he was unwavering in his support, responsive, and clearly invested in my case. Even when things seemed to get complicated he dug in and fought for me. I'm happy to share that he was able to wrap up my case fairly quickly in a matter of months with a much more positive outcome than I anticipated. I highly recommend Scott for anyone who is experiencing troubling issues in the workplace.

I was threatened with a legal action by a previous employee. I contacted Ms. Donath and after our initial conversation, immediately retained her to defend my company. I was very impressed by her knowledge of labor laws and the difficulties of navigating the employee/employer litigation landscape.
Ms Donath immediately put me at ease and took over the management of the case. Her fees are reasonable. Not once did I feel I was paying for services that were not rendered.
Ms Donath is tough, professional and a no nonsense attorney. She was able to resolve our issue, remove the terrible emotional stress it brought about, and bring to conclusion our case.
I was so pleased with her expertise that I hired her to completely overhaul our employee manual.
I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

I can't thank Sheree enough; she was incredible--smart, professional, efficient, results-oriented, caring, knowledgable, honest, and fair--throughout an extremely uncomfortable and challenging time while I was at work and afterwards. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Sheree and have her counsel me and have my back through such difficult times and work tirelessly in my best interests to ensure fair closure. If you find yourself in an unfortunate employment situation while still working or having just left work and need sound legal advice, I can't think of a better person to recommend than Sheree Donath who brilliantly navigates each situation as an advisor, a confidant, a sounding board, a negotiator, a mediator, a partner, and a true counselor.

She empathetically listened, asked specific questions, and provided me with several options. Ms. Donath specifically and explicitly described the “pros” and “cons” of each option.
After consulting with Ms. Donath, I felt empowered to make an informed decision about my employment situation. Ms. Donath was kind, professional, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the entire process. Ms. Donath allowed me understand my options and to make an informed decision, and provided exceptional great counsel. I highly recommend Ms. Donath as an attorney—she exceeded my expectations!

Daniela, pound for pound, may be one of the best discrimination attorneys in New York. Her practice may be small, but she punches far above her weight. My complaint was against an academic institution with resources and clout that made them appear to be invulnerable. Through her dedication, wit, and grace, we stood toe-to-toe with the defendant -- and their massive, predatory law firm -- at every step of litigation. Her confident, commanding presence, and willingness to stand up for you, is deeply reassuring, and she earnest regards you as a partner and an equal in the process. I am beyond grateful for Daniela and would highly recommend her.

I consulted Daniela concerning an employment discrimination matter. Even before being retained, she was very generous with her time. Although I was able to give her only short notice, she prioritized reviewing many gathered documents and provided suggestions to me. This enabled me to meet important deadlines. She impressed me as a very sensitive and detailed-oriented lawyer. She seems to have exceedingly strong loyalty to her clients.

I consulted with Ms. Senol on an employment matter last year. She was very helpful in explaining to me what my rights were and I was able to continue my job under much better conditions after I followed her advice. She knows the law and was patient in listening to me several times and answering all my questions. If I ever need a lawyer, I know who to call.

When we brought our case to Brian, we had no idea that we'd end up working with a such a spectacular Lawyer. From day one, Brian was on top of every aspect of our case. Some great qualities that stood out to us were his level of detailed knowledge on every aspect of our concerns, his friendly way of explaining how the law applies to a particular scenario and most of all, his timely communication.
Brian's responsiveness went above and beyond excellent. Every time one of us had a question and sent him an email, in a matter of minutes, we'd get a thorough response back. Even if it was late at night or on a weekend. This really showed the three of us that he cared about our comfort.
What was great was that he explained similar restaurant cases to us and as we were going through ours, we began to see how certain things related. We got a better understanding of how employment law works. It's nice to be a waiter and have a grasp of something so important.
Also, during the course of our case, we were never left in the dark. We were always kept informed of what was going on, or if anything changed. If we had a specific timeline of events and stages the case was going through, he made sure to let us know.
The most striking part of working with him was his want to help people that do not have the means or knowledge necessary to help themselves. Brian and the Firm (Fitapelli & Schaffer) clearly have the good will to stand up for the people that have the odds stacked up against them.
Thank you for being there for us!

What a Wrongful Termination Lawyer Can Do for You
A wrongful termination lawyer specializes in representing employees who have been illegally fired or laid off from their jobs. Wrongful termination occurs when an employer violates federal or state laws, employment agreements, or public policy when dismissing an employee. These lawyers help clients understand their rights, evaluate the legality of their termination, and pursue legal action to recover damages such as lost wages, benefits, and emotional distress.
If you believe you have been wrongfully terminated, a lawyer can guide you through the complex legal process, negotiate with your former employer, and advocate on your behalf to achieve a fair resolution.
When Should I Hire a Wrongful Termination Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a wrongful termination lawyer if you have been fired under circumstances that may violate the law. Common reasons include:
- Discrimination: If you were terminated based on your race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age (40 or older), disability, or genetic information, this may constitute illegal discrimination under federal laws like Title VII of the Civil Rights Act or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
- Retaliation: If you were fired for reporting illegal activities, discrimination, harassment, or for participating in an investigation or lawsuit against your employer, this may be illegal retaliation.
- Violation of Employment Contract: If you have an employment contract that outlines specific terms for termination and your employer breaches these terms, you may have a claim for wrongful termination.
- Public Policy Violations: If you were terminated for reasons that violate public policy, such as refusing to engage in illegal activities, taking time off for jury duty, or exercising your legal rights (e.g., taking family medical leave), a lawyer can help.
- Whistleblower Protection: If you were fired after reporting your employer's illegal activities to a government agency (whistleblowing), you may be protected under specific laws.
Hiring a lawyer promptly is crucial, as there are strict deadlines (statutes of limitations) for filing wrongful termination claims.
What Does a Wrongful Termination Lawyer Do?
A wrongful termination lawyer provides various services to help you pursue a claim against your former employer:
- Case Evaluation: Assess the facts of your termination to determine if your employer violated any laws or breached your employment contract.
- Legal Advice: Explain your rights under federal and state laws and advise on the best course of action.
- Filing Claims: Assist in filing a complaint with appropriate government agencies, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or state labor departments, if required before suing.
- Negotiation: Engage in settlement discussions with your former employer to seek compensation without going to court.
- Litigation: Represent you in court if a lawsuit is necessary, presenting evidence, questioning witnesses, and making legal arguments to support your case.
- Documentation and Evidence Gathering: Help collect and organize necessary documents, such as employment contracts, company policies, performance reviews, emails, and witness statements.
- Protecting Against Retaliation: Advise you on how to handle any retaliation or further adverse actions from your former employer.
How Are Wrongful Termination Lawyers Paid?
Wrongful termination lawyers typically charge for their services in one of the following ways:
- Contingency Fee: Many work on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if you win or settle your case. Their fee is a percentage of the compensation you receive, usually ranging from 25% to 40%.
- Hourly Rate: Some lawyers charge an hourly rate, which can range from $200 to $600 or more, depending on experience and location.
- Retainer Fee: A retainer is an upfront payment against which the lawyer bills their hourly rate. Once the retainer is exhausted, you may need to replenish it.
- Flat Fee: For specific services, such as reviewing a severance agreement, a lawyer might charge a flat fee.
It's important to discuss payment arrangements during your initial consultation to understand how fees and expenses will be handled.
How Much Does a Wrongful Termination Lawyer Cost?
The cost varies based on the complexity of your case, the lawyer's experience, and the fee arrangement:
- Contingency Fees: If you win or settle, the lawyer's fee will be a percentage of the award. For example, if you settle for $100,000 and the contingency fee is 30%, the lawyer receives $30,000.
- Hourly Rates: Total costs depend on the number of hours worked. A straightforward case might require 20 hours ($4,000 to $12,000), while complex cases can exceed 100 hours.
- Additional Expenses: Be aware of other costs such as court filing fees, costs for depositions, expert witness fees, and administrative expenses, which may be billed separately.
Always request a written fee agreement detailing all potential costs.

How to Check the Credibility of a Wrongful Termination Lawyer
- Verify Their License: Check your state's bar association website to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
- Review Their Experience: Look for lawyers who specialize in employment law and have specific experience with wrongful termination cases.
- Read Client Reviews: Websites like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google Reviews can provide insights into the lawyer's reputation.
- Ask for References: Reputable lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients.
- Professional Memberships: Membership in organizations like the National Employment Lawyers Association (NELA) indicates a focus on employment law.
- Disciplinary Record: Ensure the lawyer has no history of disciplinary actions or complaints.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your initial meeting:
- Employment Documents: Bring your employment contract, employee handbook, offer letters, termination letter, and any severance agreements.
- Performance Records: Include performance reviews, commendations, or any disciplinary actions.
- Correspondence: Provide emails, texts, or memos related to your termination or any incidents leading up to it.
- Witness Information: List names and contact information of colleagues who can support your claims.
- Timeline of Events: Prepare a detailed account of events, including dates and descriptions of incidents.

Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your situation effectively and advise you on the best course of action.
