Invaluable assistance with negotiated severance

After a brutal experience with a former employer I turned to Bruce to help me negotiate a better severance package. He was very helpful in explaining the options available to me and was very responsive via email and phone to explain where we were in the process. Ultimately through his efforts I was a...ble to secure a 50% increase on the initial offer. Bruce was worth every penny and I would certainly recommend him!

Unfair treatment from employer

Provided amazing guidance and handled my case with great care. Successful outcome for unfair treatment from my recent employer. Bruce was able to recover more than three (3) times the amount due had my employer done what rightfully should have been done initially. This was completed in short weeks f...rom my 1st call to Bruce . Bruce also provided direction for another family member’s employment issue which resulted in success. This was more of not understanding what rights that would have been not apparent unless you had a knowledgeable Atty to explain. Within a week of contacting him the case was resolved by him contacting the employer and giving clear instructions on next steps. In both cases, Bruce is very good at his specialty. I recommend anyone to utilize him. I have recommended him to several others with similar cases.

Excellent legal advocate

Attorney Matzkin helped me in a time of need. Bruce Matzkin represented me when I was laid off from my job. I was concerned it was because of my age, as all my reviews and feedback indicated I was exceeding expectations. Attorney Matzkin explained my rights and helped me through the separation... process. He’s was very personable, compassionate and most importantly effective. Bruce delivered an outcome that was very important to my career transition. I strongly recommend Bruce Matzkin if you have questions or concerns about your workplace and any type of discrimination.
