I had the best experience with John! He helped me out every step of the way and was very responsive when I contacted him. I would recommend this law firm to family and friends! Thank you!

One of the best employment law firms in the whole NYC…Daniel Altaras did a fantastic job in my case…Thank you Daniel, your on top of everything.

Melissa Mendoza efficiently assessed and determined the eligibility of my case and proceeded in a timely manner. She was pleasant, professional and quick to respond to my inquires which really put me at ease during the legal process. I would seek her out again if necessary and will refer her as well.

I recently won a case with Daniel Altaras regarding my wrongful termination from my workplace, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Daniel was extremely knowledgeable and professional, and he made the entire process as stress-free as possible. He was willing to represent me when other law firms were doubtful of my case. From the very beginning, Daniel was attentive and responsive to all my questions and concerns. He took the time to thoroughly understand my situation and provide me with sound legal advice. He was also very skilled at navigating the complexities of the situation. Throughout the process, he was a constant source of support and encouragement. He were always available to discuss any updates or developments in my case, and he made sure to keep me informed every step of the way. Ultimately, I am grateful to Daniel for helping me to achieve a favorable outcome that I am so thankful for. His expertise and dedication were instrumental in helping me to get the justice I deserved. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation.

Zach and his team did a phenomenal job with my case. Even with the difficulties of covid, Zach and the Derek Smith Law Team were always on top on my case, extremely professional, genuine and supportive. Zach especially made a very stressful time in my life, easy and empowering. I would highly recommend anyone that is having or had an employment related issue to reach out to them. They truly are the best firm!

Everyone I interacted with at DSLG, from my intake specialist to the head lawyer on my case, were responsive and helpful. I knew I came to the right place right away. I worked primarily with Zack, a dedicated and brilliant legal mind. He asked all the right questions in our consultation and had a deep understanding of my circumstances and the associated legal implications right out of the gate. He went above and beyond for me on multiple occasions. He is a tough negotiator and is absolutely someone you'd want by your side for any employment-related matter. I could not recommend Zack and DSLG more highly.

REVIEW OF IAN BRYSON, ESQ: I couldn't be more pleased with the services provided by Mr. Bryson. He was available throughout my case and responded promptly from my first case inquiry to filing to resolution. I found him to be courteous and extremely knowledgeable about the law. But more importantly, he was honest and able to explain my legal issues in an approachable manner without being condescending and did not push for me to resolve my case in a manner that I was not comfortable with. In time, I learned to trust his opinion. I felt that "my voice was heard", my award was fair, and I wouldn't hesitate to use his services again!

As I had to discover finding a professional, knowledgeable and same time caring and gentle employment lawyer is a real challenge. Most of them unfortunately don’t care how you feel and just consider you as a “case”. Even though this part of a law is very sensitive and deals with people who are in a difficult situation, and number one need to be heard, the majority of the lawyers I spoke to talked to me as they were representing my former employer. Thank God, I was lucky to find Derek Smith”s firm and specifically my attorney- Danilo Bandovich. From the first second I felt like he’s a personal friend of mine and the same time an aggressive and knowledgeable attorney working for my best interest. He kept me informed on every step, was straightforward and realistic. But mostly important treated me as a Person, not a number. And of course Danilo greatly resolved my case! Will recommend to everyone who needs help in a difficult situation.

Johnmack Cohen made me feel validated, educated and supported. Please never second guess your intuition to seek counsel. I am so happy I called Derek Smith Law Group and I'm very grateful I got to work with Johnmack Cohen.

My attorney was Rachel at Derek Smith Law and she was absolutely excellent. She had exceptional communication and she was very friendly and helping. She took initiative on my case and helped me win. Rachel improved my life and helped me move on

Working with Rachel Allen was like working with a best friend who knows how to win. She was empathic, kind, but fierce when it counted. She handled my case with care and the confidence necessary for us to win and for me to move on. I would highly recommend her.

Danilo was amazing, he got me results within less then a year. He zealously defended me and my rights, he's easy to get a hold of, kept me updated throughout every step of the case. He is knowledgeable, a great negotiator, and will without a doubt get you results! Overall, it was a Great experience working with him! AMAZING!
