KYLE was FINALLY that ONE attorney who wasn’t all about taking my money as his first priority.
Kyle was very empathetic & thorough when it came to answering each & every one of my questions.
KYLE is very honest & forthcoming with information. He is very “no-nonsense” & did not sugar coat things.
After having experienced a grueling, more then expensive, unethical experiences with my two former attorneys on the same case matters…. I FINALLY found KYLE INGRAM!
Look no more. He’s YOUR guy! A+++++

I want to take this opportunity to THANK YOU for the OUTSTANDING COUNSEL that you have provided from the start to the present moment. I have learned SO MUCH from your knowledge of the EEO Process and the tactics that discriminators exercise against their victims. Your guidance and mentorship on how to focus on the important aspects of a case as well as how to convey my experiences proved invaluable in my complex situation. I could not have been able to effectively articulate my Formal EEO Submission without you. More importantly, I appreciate your honesty throughout the process in gaining extended litigation support.
You are an AWESOME ATTORNEY and heaven sent. Should anyone be in need of an attorney that will provide ground truth in the EEO Process, guidance on articulating your claims (the most important aspect of your case), and requires a thorough review of your case in an effort to point you to where you can locate the explicit details of your claims or when the start of your discriminatory tactics are being exercised against you, Kyle Ingram is the Man for the job. You will not be disappointed. God Bless and may Justice be served to all those that Discriminate against innocent victims.

I have a disability EEO case with my workplace. So far, through consultation, I've spoken to Kyle twice and he is very thorough. He went above and beyond to make sure I understood the strong points of my case and gave me realistic advice/ expectations. He is going to make sure you make the most out of your time and money. Also, he is very knowledgeable about EOO complaints and workplace discrimination. Moving forward, I know exactly what I need to do. My case is still in the early stages, so I may not need to retain him, but if I do, I feel good about where my money is going and know I'll have great representation.

I contacted Dave when my former employer violated my severance agreement. Dave helped guide me through a difficult negotiation, one in which I was forced to accept a "less bad" outcome for the sake of moving on with my life. David quickly assimilated the facts, worked with me in thinking through the trade-offs between litigating and settling, and helped me get the matter resolved through settlement before I incurred large-scale fees.

Dave negotiated a settlement in a wrongful termination matter involving a family member. He quickly achieved an acceptable resolution and avoided legal proceedings. Dave was always available and responsive to questions, always thoughtful, always planning ahead. He is exceptionally good at explaining legal issues in plain language, and asking questions. Dave was always focused on getting a good result, and he did just that.

Thanks to him, a difficult situation was resolved successfully. I would recommend him to others without reservations.

Mr. King successfully represented me in a complicated employment related case. The time difference between the United States and my overseas location was not an obstacle for Mr. King who was always available 24/7.
Mr. King explained each step of the lengthy legal process, always answered my questions with complete honesty and in plain English (not attorney terminology), ensuring that I understood. In addition, Mr. King is a skilled mediator.
Mr. King is unique. He cares about his clients and really does go the “extra mile”.

Dr. King was recommended as a good lawyer by a colleague and friend. Dr. King during the negotiations with the American agency brought to fruition what we wanted to obtain. Not only did he behave as an appropriate lawyer on the issues, but also as a person who gets involved in the issues and people he represents. He personally was always worried about me, since my wife had passed away due to an accident during the negotiations.

I truly can't say enough good things about Jason and his team - they are incredibly effective, professional, and consistently wonderful to work with, even in very high-pressure circumstances. Jason and his colleagues were exceptionally patient with and responsive to my concerns, consulting with me on every step of the process and explaining different options. Beyond their impeccable legal representation and client advocacy, I also felt personally cared for and supported during what was a particularly nightmarish experience of workplace harassment. When needed, they also devoted significant extra time and effort to my case to ensure that my interests were protected. I am incredibly grateful for their representation and wholeheartedly recommend Zuckerman Law to anyone seeking justice in employment-related matters.

I hired Mr Zuckerman to pursue an action against a former employer that was attempting to use deceit in its pursuit of federal contracts, and which fired me for not participating in its schemes. Jason was not just very responsive, he was also engaging, spending a good deal of time and effort with me on the phone and by email learning the ins and outs of the case, discussing strategy, laying out alternatives, anticipating counter-arguments, etc, all with the highest integrity. In the end, Jason was able to negotiate a substantial settlement for me, and I believe the company learned not to fire employees for failing to participate in lying to the government. All in all, a very good outcome.
I have had the opportunity in my career to interact with numerous attorneys. Jason truly stands out. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a lawyer for wrongful termination and related employment issues.

The removal from Federal Service was one of the most traumatic experiences in my lifetime, and the litigation would have truly been impossible to navigate without the expertise of Kristin Alden and her associates. From the initial consultation, to the MSPB Hearing, and then the resulting Settlement- Kristin and her staff were profoundly competent. I could not be more pleased with the result. It was a long, difficult journey - and it is one you should never contemplate taking alone. Thank you, Kristin!

Kristin Alden is the Top Tier attorney for Federal Employment Law! A professional reputation earned from experience, knowledge, success and never missing a deadline! I was a Federal Employee who was proposed to be removed from service. A consultation with Kristin Alden brought clarity, confidence, and a realistic expectation for my case. Kristin Alden and her team researched every accusation and made compelling arguments with evidence to explain the truth. I am thankful Kristin Alden represented me and took charge when it was critical I have a legal voice. Did I get my Federal Career back, absolutely! Ten Stars!

Kristin Alden negotiated my settlement with a former employer, and represented me in follow up discussions navigating disclosures around the settlement agreement. She was exceptional - smart, analytical, professional, strategic and empathic. More than that, she made herself available to me whenever necessary, listened to my concerns and my thoughts regarding the best approach, and constructively and cogently offered wise counsel. I highly recommend her without reservation!

Jennifer is a pro at what she does. She puts her clients first and that is reflected from her interactions with you to her tenacious will to get you the best outcome possible. I did my due diligence and spoke with different attorneys for my wrongful termination case and she by far gave me the sense of what the reality of the situation was as opposed to a perception of it. She worked hard to get me the best possible resolution as quickly as possible. The whole processes felt swift and she was always available to talk about any of my concerns. I would highly highly recommend Jennifer, in my opinion you couldn't be in better hands!

I was amazed how prepared and thorough Subha was during my consultation. Other attorneys I consulted with would read my file 5 minutes before and would not have a clue . She knew the in and outs of my case after reviewing my file and you can tell she took the time . This is an excellent top notch attorney who actually cares and would highly recommend her and the firm . You will not go wrong and will have someone extremely knowledgeable about the EEO process . Prestigious attorney and firm.

Subha did a super fantastic job on my case. Her insights and presentations were spot on. She was like a tiger in defending me and making sure no stones were left unturned. She was amazingly graceful and easy to talk with. No one could ask for a better attorney. My life was greatly blessed to have her on my case. Subha, thank you for all you've done.

Without a doubt, Ms. Bollini is an excellent lawyer who is passionate about helping her clients. She always made me feel that she was on my side and fully committed to getting me a favorable outcome. Although my case is still in progress, Ms. Bollini achieved great successes for me to date, and I learned so much from her about this process. I will always be grateful to Ms. Bollini and believe that anyone looking for an experienced, dedicated, competent, attentive, and kind lawyer will find her as a wonderful asset to your legal team.

I obtained the Legal Services of Matthew T Famigliette in assisting me with applying for Disability Benefits with the Social Security Administration after receiving a denial letter.
Once Mr Famigliette agreed to represent me he always corresponded by email and phone his communication with the VA Hospital and its Medical Staff as well as Representatives of the Social Security Administration. I would definitely commend my lawyer for his passion, kind and encouraging words, and the reassuring feeling he will give 110% of effort to get justice on your behalf.
Sincerely and with much GRATITUDE

Matt is, quite simply, an exceptional attorney. He is easily the most thorough, tenacious and hard-working professional I have worked with in any capacity. He consistently goes above and beyond in everything he does.
To the specifics of my case, Matt represented me in a long and complex social security disability claim. Frankly, I have no idea how I would ever have managed the process without him. Matt is a master of the specifics of the social security system and its many players. This was my first encounter with the social security disability process and it was highly stressful. Thankfully, Matt is a caring and understanding advocate, even as he is a fierce and implacable attorney.
My experience working with Matthew Famiglietti's law office was outstanding from start to finish. Not only would I hire Matt again, but he's also my #1 attorney recommendation to all my family and friends. I just wish I had him managing the rest of my life!

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 hired Jim after a very detailed and thorough consultation, and after having consulted with other attorneys it was clear that Jim had the best level of understanding the nuances of my complex case. As a former political appointee at an old government agency, we are often conditioned that have no rights as we "work at the pleasure of the President". In my case, I was being coerced and forced into quitting my job in retaliation after I raised concerns (both formally and informally) of repeated racial discrimination against myself and other colleagues of my race. Jim asked very detailed questions, meticulously reviewed all information he asked me to provide, spoke with credible witnesses, and worked on my behalf to level ensure I was not left out to dry while also sparing this agency a very public lawsuit. Jim's confidence in my case combined with his professionalism, patience, diligence, compassion, and pragmatism helped me navigate one of the hardest periods of my career and life in general. He was also extremely responsive to all calls, emails, and texts and his team at his law office were very hospitable, kind, patient, understanding, and professional. I could not have asked for a better experience in such a trying time. I'm grateful for his skills and services.

I received the reference for Attorney Jim Eisenmann following notice that post retirement from federal service I was being investigated. Since I had almost no information or context regarding this investigation there was little information that I could provide during my consult with Jim. Jim skillfully steered me to what I did know or suspected and based on that information he was able to extrapolate possible scenarios. Having no previous experience in matters such as this, Jim took the time to explain the law, outlined in clear language the steps in the process. Identified unknown variables and implications for those. He responded to every email and question quickly and precisely.
I feel extremely lucky to have Attorney Eisenmann on my side.

Jim was never formally my attorney, but he did provide me with legal consultation when I had some questions. He was very thoughtful and interested in providing the right guidance. He felt it wasn't necessary for him to be my attorney (I just had some questions), so it was clear he was trying to provide only the most helpful consultation and nothing more. I felt Jim was genuinely looking to help without the unnecessary time, tasks, fees, etc.. I felt I could trust Jim (and I spoke with another attorney whom I did not get that sense from). I would go back to Jim if I ever needed to.

She listened closely to my employment related concerns and she immediately took action. The employment matter was resolved within a two week time frame and it’s because of her diligent efforts. I can not thank her enough for her support. I would not be in the position I am in at this moment without her professional experience. I recommend Samantha without hesitation.

Ross represented me, a federal employee who had worked for a financial regulatory agency. Five years after the original incident, an EEOC Judge issued a notice finding discrimination and found the Agency discriminated against me based on my disability in connection with its failure to accommodate me and constructive discharge during my probationary period. Ross Fishbein, worked tirelessly on the case for nearly three years and helped negotiate a settlement agreement with the agency for $425,000 to compensate me for back pay, expenses I incurred, and payment of full attorney fees. The settlement was just before the hearing on damages and was likely a better outcome than an EEOC-ordered reinstatement. Ross is professional, compassionate, and extremely well-informed. The EEOC judge commended him for his strong writing skills and hearing presentations. He met all deadlines and did an excellent job. He took the time to explain the different legal strategies, listened to me as a client, and provided advice, presented possible outcomes, all while leaving the decisions on the development and settlement in my hands. I would highly Ross to other federal employees needing advice and a winning team to represent them. Kristin Alden and Ross Fishbein represented me at the EEOC. Thank you so much!!

I hired Ross to represent me with my EEO case against the government and he did a great job. Ross is an intelligent, hard-working, honest attorney that always made himself available. During my case, Ross demonstrated that he was concerned about my work life and how things would affect me after the case was complete (besides just a payout) which meant a lot to me. At one point during the case, my Agency's attorney tried to make excuses for their behavior and poke holes in my case, which was pretty infuriating and disrespectful. Ross was professional and he successfully destroyed the other attorney with solid case law and I was proud to have him on my side. In conclusion, I would highly recommend hiring Ross Fishbein if you plan to take on the government. Expect a long upward and unfair fight. I know it can be difficult to know where to turn when you are wronged and you will feel alone. Ross won a settlement with my case and I know he will do his best for you too.

I am extremely satisfied with the quality of legal service provided by Murad Khan. Murad is a great attorney but in addition, he is an really nice guy who really cares about his clients. He offered insightful solutions to my business and legal problems. I found him to be pragmatic, honest and someone with highly-developed interpersonal skills (which really helped during intense negotiations).
Murad helped my business tactfully mediate a major dispute and successfully negotiate and execute the resulting contracts. In fact, my company had spent 8 months negotiating this deal and it was at risk of imploding. Luckily, Murad and his team were there to help advocate for us and bring us to a successful and fair resolution. I would definitely recommend Murad and his firm.

Janet Goldstein was my whistle-blower attorney and I could not be more pleased. She is honest, hardworking and not only talks the talk, but walks the walk. She took on my case, and was not only kind and understanding, but she is one accomplished lawyer to have on your side. She walked me through the whole False Claims Act process, start to finish, guiding me every step of the way. The end result was a great win. Ms Goldstein knows her stuff and is unbelievably relentless. I highly recommend her and am highly satisfied with her work on my case.

If I am ever in need of legal assistance in the future, my first call would be to Janet. In my case we dealt with both a Wrongful Termination and a Qui Tam Case. I have to say that at all times I knew that noone could have fought more vigorously on my behalf. Both cases were brought to a satisfactory conclusion and I am forever grateful for the assistance that was provided to me. When you are a little guy in a struggle with the big guys you need some firepower in your corner and I certainly had that - in spades. Janet was a pleasure to deal with throughout and I never doubted for a second that I had the best team in my corner. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this lawyer to anyone. Thank you very much Janet, I am forever in your debt.

I approached Edgar because I needed some assistance settling debts from an old business. He was referred from another professional that I had worked with in the past. I did not want to contact my previous business partner directly so I had Edgar act as the intermediary. He successfully negotiated with the creditors and my ex-partner for a resolution that was very amicable to me. The rate charged by McCree Ndjatou was fair for services provided. I would highly recommend Edgar and his firm for legal advice and counsel regarding corporate and employment law matters.

Edgar Ndjatou is a phenomenal attorney! I approached Mr. Ndjatou because after I was unfairly terminated from my job, my former employer presented me with a severance package. I wanted to ensure that my rights were protected and that my former employer did not take advantage of me.

I was very disappointed with the representation I received from this law firm. Elaine Fitch was a solid partner, but in my opinion my attorney did a poor job "representing me" and a good job running up charges.

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.
