I had a great experience working with Sekendiz Law group. Ismail is professional and diligent. He walked me through the entire process, set realistic expectations, and addressed all concerns. It was very easy to communicate with Ismail throughout the process as well. Ismail is a true champion for his clients. I highly recommend Ismail and the Sekendiz Law group.

09 Sep, 2024 by Robin thomas

This was my first time pursuing a lawsuit and I couldn’t have went with a better lawyer. Ismail was checked off all the boxes when it came to a great lawyer. He was excellent with explaining things to me and he was a great listener. There was never a time where he left me in the dark about my case, and I can’t name a time when I called him and he didn’t answer. He worked very hard on my case and I can’t thank him enough for all of his compassion and kindness. He was very compassionate and most importantly he was trustworthy, and handled my case with care.

I am so thankful to have had Danielle Seid-Vazana as my divorce attorney. Danielle is a very professional, responsive, diligent, a caring attorney. She listens to every detail and her approach is well throughout. I would highly recommend her for anyone dealing with a highly contested divorce. She stood by my side the entire time until the end. I truly can't thank her enough as she helped me get through a difficult time in my life.

08 Jul, 2024 by Joe bergovoy

Danielle is a compassionate, caring and present family law attorney. She is responsive, timely and actually cares about the best interest of your child. Before I started working with her I referred a few clients to her based on a recommendation, and I’m happy that I hired her as well once I had respond to litigation for the first time in four years. It’s important to have someone who cares because otherwise the attorney will get bored of your case, won’t respond and you’ll be put on the back burner. Danielle is unlike the others and I highly recommend her.

08 Jul, 2024 by John roche

All credit to Danielle and Linda for the incredible outcome in my case. Their experience and knowledge of the courts protected me and my interests. Reasonable and realistic is what I asked and that is what I was delivered. I felt the entire office cared for me as a person and friend. I followed their shrewd advice throughout and benefitted with a great post divorce life. Thank you!

Our company hired Mr. Sanchala to assist in a complex Labor Department investigation. The case could have harmed our business in a substantial way. Tejash worked with our team in a professional manner and was able to resolve the case positively. We are very happy with Tejash's work and would recommend him to others.

I hired Tejash because I needed a competent lawyer to answer questions and to provide reassurance. He provided both these things and more, and I would strongly recommend him in the area of employment law.

Having worked with a number of attorneys in the past, this is the first review I’ve ever written for one—and it is well deserved. I had an A+ experience working with Russel Morgan and his team at Morgan Legal Group. From start to finish, Russel handled my legal matters with professionalism, integrity, and transparency. What stood out most was the genuine care he showed in resolving my concerns. I highly recommend Morgan Legal Group to anyone in need of trustworthy and efficient legal representation for estate matters. Their commitment to clients is truly top-notch.

I recently worked with Brain for my estate planning needs, and overall, it was a positive experience. The office was professional, and Brian S. Lyda was knowledgeable and attentive, answering all my questions clearly. The only downside was the elevator situation in the building—it was slow and made getting to appointments a bit frustrating. However, the quality of service made up for it. I feel confident in the plans we put in place, and I appreciate the thoroughness of the process. I would definitely recommend Brain to anyone looking for estate planning assistance!

Jonathan expertly managed to get my 2-point ticket reduced to a 0-point violation, showcasing his deep knowledge and proficiency in traffic law. Throughout the entire process, he was professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in achieving the best possible outcome for me. His dedication and expertise resulted in a successful resolution that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Jonathan P. Rubin to anyone in need of a top-notch attorney.

Israel was recommended to me by a colleague at the large international law firm where I work. I retained him to represent a low-income friend whose neighbor filed a frivolous and baseless claim in Small Claims (Kings County) . Israel did a superb job. He explained things clearly, was very kind to the client (who is elderly and was frightened), and he was a forthright and fearless advocate in all appropriate ways. I work with excellent attorneys all year long, and now he is on that list.

I was fortunate to have found Paul! I tasked him with writing my prenup, and he was attentive and helpful throughout the entire process. I had zero prior experience with marital law, and I came to him with a ton of loose ideas for what my partner and I were looking for in the document. I knew it would be a difficult task to come to an agreement between all parties, and draft a legal document that satisfied everyone’s interests, but Paul came through. We worked together, and I found him very personable and easy to work with. He was able to break-down complex topics easily for me to understand and was extremely meticulous. Prenups can be a difficult endeavor for the parties involved, but Paul made the process extremely doable. We ultimately achieved the perfect document for our needs, which I am very grateful for. Will be recommending him to my friends and colleagues. If you need a prenup lawyer, Paul is your man.

08 Oct, 2024 by Tina iglesias

I and my husband have hired Dan many times over the last decade, ultimately retaining his services for my small business earlier this year. Dan's work on our various employment and business contracts has always been well worth the price and resulted in the security and knowledge that we're well-protected in our business dealings. In this area, you get what you pay for, and Dan is one of the best. He and his team are always focused, direct, efficient, and effective in their communications and work, making the most of your legal investment.

I had the pleasure of working with Dcellura for an initial legal consultation, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Even though it was only our first consultation, his straightforward approach and empathy stood out immediately. He carefully listened to my concerns, provided thoughtful and clear advice, and guided me through complex legal matters with ease. What stood out most was his genuine concern for my case and his ability to simplify legal jargon, making the entire process much less overwhelming. I’ve spoken with other lawyers, and Dcellura was by far the best—he’s knowledgeable, personable, and incredibly reliable. If you're seeking legal advice, look no further.

26 Feb, 2024 by Anonymous

Samantha called me and asked for the details of the case. I was speaking to her a mile a minute because having to regurgitate all of this up again was a bit scary. Samantha stated that if it were okay, I could write my experiences down, and she would contact me the following Monday or Tuesday. Therefore, I gave her a prewritten document about 4-5 pages long. I thought there was no way she would chop this up over the weekend and be ready to proceed with the following steps by Monday or Tuesday. I readied myself again to speak a tad more slowly and calmly. However, once Monday came around, Samatha summarized all of my information as if I had said it. She read it. She detailed precisely what I wanted to say. She is brilliant and fast in distilling information while being pragmatic enough to distinguish between what will be relevant and what isn’t. It was a pleasure speaking and working with Samatha.

18 Jan, 2023 by Karl

After hiring the law firm Ms. Hudler works for, she was tasked with handling my case. Whenever I needed some information or help with anything pertaining to my case, I never had to wait for her to contact me or assist me when I needed her help. She is an enormous reason in my opinion why I now have my Union finally going to bat for me. I can't thank her enough for all her help.

Thought out the process of my case I realized Jeff was truly an advocate that I could trust . He is gentle, kind and treats you like he is your brother. With great acumen of the legal system of NYC , Jeff navigates these waters with experience and confidence . You will be hiring the right attorney without a doubt! I recommend Jeff highly !!! I will always hold Jeff Chabrowe in the highest regards. He is a good human being first and foremost ! Apologies if this sounds too sentimental and mushy, I will remember Jeff with a warm smile. Thank you Jeff RM

Mr. Shimko is an excellent attorney who I have worked with for over 2 years. He has worked for me personally drawing up agreements, he is the Secretary for the company I own and he has done consulting work for it. His work ethic is above reproach, he is prompt with his solutions and explains things throughly.

Mr Shimko is an excellent lawyer. He is well versed in many different aspects of the law, does a lot of research to make sure he covers all angles of the matter he is handling for you, and has years of experience working in the courthouse system. For over five years he has counseled me on a variety of issues, including helping me with the formation of my LLC; he expertly drafted and filed all the papers and walked me through the entire process with ease. Mr Shimko then helped my friend form his company. He also does some work helping out the board of my mother’s company. He is honest and thoughtful as a person, and a knowledgeable lawyer that knows just what to do in every situation.

Mr.Tanner was my attorney at a very scary time. I was facing up to 10 years in prison for being involved with wrong people. I was very lucky that he took my case. Howard Tanner is very well respected in his sphere, he knows ins and outs of the system with over 35 years of experience not just as an attorney, but as a prosecutor as well. He treated me with consideration and courtesy. He made me feel mattered! I am very grateful that he was on my side during this horrendous experience giving me his guidance. I feel it’s also important to have someone who has patience to return your calls and emails, explain the process, timeline and manage expectations. My case ended up being dismissed. I am thankful for every minute I have now as a free person. I would refer Howard Tanner to anyone who find themselves in a dire situation. Good luck!

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.

My journey to U.S. citizenship, facilitated by Andrew Slepian Law, was remarkably smooth and successful. His knowledge of immigration law and commitment to personalized client service made a potentially overwhelming process feel manageable. A special thank you to Andrew, His dedication and empathy shone through in every interaction, making a significant impact on my experience. Andrew expertise not only helped navigate the complexities of my applications but also provided a reassuring presence throughout. The firm's professionalism, clear communication, and proactive approach were instrumental in the successful outcome to citizenship applications. Meetings and emails were scheduled as needed, very lenient with payments and ensuring I was well-informed and prepared at every step. Andrew not only acted as advisors but as advocates, genuinely invested in my success. I can recommend Slepian Immigration Law highly enough for anyone navigating the immigration process there exceptional service and the personal dedication provided invaluable peace of mind and results... thank you Andrew for all the help..

On a good day Guardianship can be confusing and challenging, especially for a new Guardian. You are constantly familiarizing yourself with new information pertaining to a wide array of topics that come along quickly and consistently. At times you require help and insight from those with more experience specific to the legal intricacies that you may suddenly be encountering. I am thankful that in the vast sea of attorneys to choose from, that I was referred to Alison Arden Besunder of Goetz Fitzpatrick to assist me and the Guardianship in addressing an appeal brought on unexpectedly. Appellate work appears: unique to your case, detail focused, time consuming and requires nuanced skill and approach in response and execution. Ms. Besunder and the members of her team understood the record at hand and responded professionally, with a tone that was very much welcome and tracking with my efforts and focus as Guardian. They were: kind to me, understanding of the situation, communicative, along with being clear in their directions and in the answering of my questions. Ms. Besunder's experience and knowledge along with the efforts and kindness of her team in dealing with this legal matter were welcome during this unexpected and challenging time. Ms. Besunder and Goetz Fitzpatrick have represented me as Guardian and responded to the appeal on my behalf- which I'm very thankful of their efforts. Highly recommended and much appreciated.

As someone who used to locate and develop experts in-house at a large lawfirm, I can tell you that this company does a fantastic job. They take care of the tedious legwork in locating, developing, and background checking experts, so that you can focus on your case. Definitely worth the cost.

Let me not waste your time and get straight to the point. If you need a team that will be dedicated to your case and provide not only excellence but results then you are in the right place!!! My family and I have been clients of Barre Law from the start of my immigration journey where I was nervous and scared but now I can proudly say I am a United States citizen and I could not have done it without Abadir and his amazing well crafted team that treats us like family and truly cares. Abadir is the most talented, humble and intelligent lawyer you will ever meet. He is the right person to have on your side while navigating this important yet often emotional transition. We also had the pleasure of working with PJ Alchamat and Tito Saavedra and they embody care, precision, excellence all while not making you feel like just a number. Trust Barre Law team to get it done! I have recommended my family members and friends and will continue to do so because I have that much confidence in him and his work ethic. Thank you BARRE LAW!!

I had being through all with immigration before I met Abadir and Janelle. They are true examples of actions speak louder than words. Despite the complications in my case, He took the load from me worrying and said in one sentence Sam I will get you your green card this year. He activated his entire firm Greta, Melanie, and Tito made sure they were supportive and pushing to attain the goal. The Eve of the my final interview, this firm came through like family will do. All of them calling and making sure am ok and promising me all will be fine. Thanks to them my green card interview did not last 5 mins and case was approved. Clients are not treated like numbers here. Barr Law is family

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.
Previous Complaints: If you filed complaints with HR or external agencies, bring copies.
Questions: Write down any questions you have about your case or the legal process.

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