There are no words to truly express how wonderful Kristi is. She worked so hard on our case to make sure that we received the benefits that we were entitled to. She had to fight an international Fortune 500 company who have more money to throw at claims like ours and yet for a very, very reasonable fee was able to broker a settlement that was fair to everybody. I would hire her again in a second if I ever had this type of need again.

I was involved in a whistleblower case with my employer. The details were complicated and required that a strong attorney that had a solid understanding of this kind of case represented me. I was so fortunate that Kevin Salute took my case. Kevin has a thorough knowledge of the law. He quickly came on board and had everything so organized and sorted and had the ability to pull out every nuance that was relative. He was so easy to work with and kept me informed of each step of the process as it progressed. He worked well with the opposing attorneys and kept the case moving forward until it’s conclusion. I appreciated his professionalism and can-do demeanor. I was extremely pleased with the outcome. In addition to being a great attorney, he is a great guy.

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.

From the outset, Mr. Matthews and his Associate gave a realistic appraisal of the difficulty of this type of case. His whole firm was quite supportive. The Defendant and her Defense Attorneys tried many times and many ways to derail my lawsuit. Mr. Matthews was undeterred by all of their legal machinations. In the Courtroom, his legal arguments won the day, hearing after hearing, and he batted a thousand. The Judge threw out every Defendant's maneuver and commended Mr. Matthews and his firm on their integrity, and thoughtful legal arguments. We ended up in Mediation in less than two years. At the outset, I gave Mr. Matthews a figure I was willing to settle for. His efforts yielded an award 3x larger than I had said I would be willing to settle for. I found and find him to be an excellent Attorney in all regards and will use his services for all legal matters that arise for me.

Craig T. Mathews and Associates has been filing mechanic's liens for our company to secure payments from contractors who have been building water and wastewater treatment plants for municipalities. We sell pumps for handling sludge and metering a variety of treatment chemicals in these plants. This is about $4 million in billings per annum for our company. We believe that this service has allowed us to reduce our accounts payable by close to $1 million. Before we started using these liens, contractors made numerous counterclaims and back-charges against us. Many were also slow in paying the performance "holdbacks" that are part of these contracts. The liens are a way that we can counter these claims. In fact, since we have started using this service all of the frivolous claims have essentially disappeared. This law firm can file in any state in the USA. Our firm is active in every state in the USA, as well as Canada, and most of Latin America.

Atty Matt Karr is excellent. He spent the time to understand our need for a credit bypass trust. He explained the process in clear declarative English rather than legalese. I feel that his fee was very reasonable. He supported his documents with a video explaining everything so that I could replay it if I had questions. We spoke to other lawyers that charged more and some that charged less. It is very hard to compare prices like buying a car. I recommend that you meet with Matt before selecting an attorney. BTW trusts are his specialty not just another work product.

Shaun is impressively knowledgeable as an AA in the WC arena, reserved yet sure and confident but most of all, his best quality that surpasses all is his genuine care and compassion for the IW. If you need a Worker's Comp lawyer in OC who would treat you as an individual and not just another WC claim file, definitely call Attorney Shaun Cunningham. And don't forget to thank him afterwards by taking the time to write your reviews here. Thank you, Shaun!

My experience with Mr. Johnson and MDS was nothing short of superior. In managing my dispute, Mr. Johnson strategically addressed the issues at hand and found ways to engage all parties to settle the dispute in the most logical and economical manner. The firm aggressively defended my family and positioned the opposition in such a fashion that their best course of action was to dismiss their complaint. Mr. Johnson was able to talk through the issues with me in a reasonable and commonsense fashion helping to keep me calm throughout an emotional and heated process as the dispute played out. I am grateful to Mr. Johnson and MDS, and recommend the firm without reservation.

Without going into great detail, our routine transaction became a legal nightmare. Dave Johnson and his wonderful paralegal Karen Rizzo provided my family with the strong, intelligent, and no-nonsense legal expertise that we desperately needed to rectify the situation. If you need legal representation for any reason, let your research end with Attorney Johnson and his associates.

It is easy to dismiss a 'perfect' review, but my results were what I needed and not over the top in fees or drama. I employed Ms. Fruchtman to intervene on an employment issue that had be washed over by previous attorneys as too insignificant or politically charged in the non-profit sector. My concerns were taken to heart, letters written, conversations had, and in the end, that is what I wanted. I did not want to go to court or sue over a sexual harassment claim. I wanted to be heard and apologized to by the employer. I wanted the perpetrator fired. I wanted them to acknowledge that they were wrong and that I was still watching them to prevent future misdeeds. They were scared. They listened. I was heard. Finally, I was able to sleep again. The perpetrator was 'retired' and women will be safe at that location. I owe that to her calm and relentless professional pursuit of the truth. They listened. That's what I needed. No court, no drama, just a good result for everyone.

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 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.

I spoke to Ms. Donath to discuss a difficult employment situation, and to investigate what my legal options were. I was feeling defeated and scared, and was concerned about my professional future. I immediately felt comfortable with Ms. Donath, as she allowed me to fully explain my situation without making me feel rushed. 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!

Mr McQueen does fight very hard for his clients and the people he's fighting against don't like him, because he doesn't scare and he is in to win the battle! Not only is Mr McQueen my lawyer, but I think I have made a new friend who cares for my family! I will always be thankful to him and his office.

I called Cathleen Bolek to help me with a complicated employment case with a well known, global company. My case was already confusing because I had started with a different firm, and then wanted her to jump In and make sense of a bad situation. I had been in a very toxic work environment for over a year. I immediately felt better after talking with her, and she did exactly what she said she would do. She was always available to me, very responsive ( even when I just needed reassurance or to vent). She was tough and classy and was never intimidated by this global powerhouses big firm attorney. I would highly recommend her to anyone with any type of employment issue. She's smart, shrewd and has compassion and empathy.

Carole Lohr took me on as a client this year. She consistently updated me as she took the necessary steps to resolve my cases. Having special circumstances that prevented me from meeting with her in person, Carole kept in touch with me via email and phone. I am truly grateful for Carole's timely manner in which she resolved my cases--both outcomes being even better than I had hoped. Carole's willingness to counsel me on various topics is also greatly appreciated. I feel as if I not only have legal counsel in the future, but I have a warm and professional friend to whom I can turn if I need help. Carole Lohr posesses integrity, which shows in her legal and friendly advice. She would not let me settle for less than I deserve, and I am so very grateful that she has become a part of my life. I recommend Carole Lohr very highly and will definitely take advantage of her services (should the situation arise) in the future.

To be able to describe my feelings about Vernon J. Petri & Associates in writing is nearly impossible. My gratitude for everything that the attorneys at the firm have done for me is too much for words to explain. They have had such an impact on my life and they truly are my heroes. My case was not an easy one, and it was not "open and shut." The case constantly evolved, and it seemed to be never-ending. This was partly due to my worsening medical condition, for which I could not seem to receive a definitive diagnosis. However, the attorneys at the firm took my case without knowing whether they would receive any payment. They worked tirelessly day in and day out for over a year on my behalf. Not only did these dedicated attorneys work for the resolution of my case, they also showed that they were truly working for me. They constantly kept in touch with me, always checking on my health and my situation. They were always compassionate with me, and understanding of my needs, even when times were tough for me. I cannot express the full extent of my gratitude, nor can I say enough to encourage others who are seeking representation to contact them. The attorneys at the firm go far above and beyond to dig deep into the situation. They work diligently to find out every detail of the case, leaving no stone unturned. If I could, I would point every potential client who needs the most excellent representation to Vernon J. Petri & Associates. Thanks so much Vanessa!

This firm and its lawyers do not care for their clients at all. They take months to reply to emails. They constantly give unacceptable excuses (fracture, holidaying with grandchildren, sick, computer broke down, assistant is away, the list goes on). The management are equally uninterested. They have still not closed a rather straightforward matter of mine and it’s been nearly 5 years with no end in sight. Save yourself some trouble and go to some other firm.

Robert is and is not a lawer. Robert IS a lawyer in the sense that he knows his technical stuff. Robert IS NOT a lawyer in the sense that he does not have a money gouging attitude that one sees in some lawyers. Robert remains focused enough to speak and advise where he needs to in a constructive manner and he will tell the 2 spouses to work things out by and for themselves [ due to subject matter involving personal preferences ]. Robert took a personal interest in both of us, at the same time did not abandon his professional conduct. I recommend Robert Menache highly to those that need a lawyer to deal w/ legal issues and repeat that Robert IS NOT A LAWEYER in capricious nor financially gouging conduct and mannerisms.

Shadi and her team have been awesome throughout this entire process of immigrating to the U.S.! She was there every step of the way! Did practice interviews, made sure that all aspects of the application are covered, told us what documents to get, Filing applications, told us what to say, and more importantly, what NOT to say at the interviews etc. During both interviews I could tell that the people from immigration knew who she was, and the interviews all went by fast and easy, and I think her presence and preparation with her clients is one of the reasons for that. She even contacted me after a law changed in my home country that therefore enabled me to apply for dual citizenship pretty much as soon as it had happened. I highly recommend contacting Shadi if you, or someone you know is thinking about immigrating to the U.S. Thank you Shadi and Team

I am so honored and delighted to write a review for the best attorney that I know and that person is Dmitriy Cherepinskiy. I thank God for him. He helped me with a wrongful death case against a nursing home that involved severe neglect and bedsores. Because of him we got justice. He will guide you through the process from the beginning to the very end. He treats you as if it was his family. He is very personable. And I can honestly say I felt he really cared about us and the situation. Dmitriy is very professional and will answer your calls and if he cannot at the moment he will get back with you in a timely matter. You cannot go wrong with him. I not only gained an attorney but a friend like family to me. I will always cherish his advice and encouragement.. It touches my heart to know that there are good honest people out there. Trust me Dmitriy is the real deal. And that is so hard to find in a law firm these days. Thank you Dmitriy from the bottom of my heart. Many blessings to you and your family.

I met Dale when he and his colleague Joe Della-Rodolfa had represented me in some federal & state matters. He is one of the best - point blank... I have been to many offices and been in several claims/cases - his team was by far the BEST out of every other encounter.. He is honest, he will listen to you, he will fight for you, and he will have no reservations whatsoever in speaking his mind to stand up for what's right. He is a very honorable person and he has no issues with being firm and aggressive in his stance while fighting for you! A++ and a 20 out of 10 in my view.. I`ll follow him and Joe for life - they will be the main two I call for any future matters if within their practice areas for sure!

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.

Top Questions to Ask a Wrongful Termination Lawyer

  1. What is your experience with wrongful termination cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience and a successful track record.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Understand the fee structure and any additional costs.
  3. What is the likely outcome of my case?
    Get an honest assessment of your chances of success and potential compensation.
  4. What is the estimated timeline for resolving my case?
    Know how long the process may take, from filing to settlement or trial.
  5. What steps will you take to build my case?
    Understand the strategy and what will be required from you.
  6. Will my case go to trial, or can it be settled out of court?
    Discuss the possibilities and implications of each option.
  7. How will you keep me informed about my case?
    Ensure there will be regular updates and open communication.

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.
