Demetri recently represented me in a wrongful termination dispute with a former employer, a global bank with over 200,000 employees and a Human Resources Department with a large legal team. It was a complex matter involving standards of conduct, false allegations and ongoing slander, flawed advice from an internal HR Help Line, a gender-biased and superficial investigation by the employer, and an unusual fact pattern. I had briefly retained one of the most highly-acclaimed employment attorneys in NYC, and had had an appalling experience. Then I engaged Demetri. That Demetri listened carefully and sympathetically from the outset provided my first glimmer of hope. That he thoughtfully brought together the various legal threads of the case into a compelling argument evened the playing field. And his patience and persistence, and years of experience in this area, ultimately resulted in my former employer agreeing to a Separation Agreement largely on my terms and paying an award that was almost 800% higher than they had initially budgeted for this matter. Demetri is a consummate professional — skilled, accessible, responsive, compassionate — and is truly a David vs the Goliath of large Wall Street firms. I was very glad to have him on my side.
