Fantastic initial consultation

I called Bruce directly with a question, he right away directed me to the most reasonable path forward. I really appreciate the quick feedback that saved me hours of work!

Clinician

I met Bruce the day I got fired from my position as clinician at a drug treatment center. I was in the process of going on FMLA from my job due to the loss of my son. At that time myself and my coworker who had the same duties were out on performance plans. Due to our high caseload fulfilling the... plan was impossible, so I decided I needed to take a step back and go out for a while. I told my supervisor at supervision that I was going out on a Wednesday and on that following Friday I was fired and she used the plan as an excuse. I met Bruce at an event that Friday night and told him what transpired. He contacted me on Monday and took my case. I was fired in May and received compensation by August. Bruce was very available for any questions or concerns about the process. I have recommended him to other friends that are dealing with some of the same issues and have had nothing, but positive feedback from them. I highly recommend his service to anyone dealing with an employment issue. Thank you.

Bruce Matzkin is a Ture Professional!

I was trying to open my LLC in the US but knew nothing about the laws. Because of the professional consultation of Bruce Matzkin, I've learned all the pros and cons of the process and also learned about the laws of the state where I was anticipating opening an LLC. On top of that, Mr. Matzkin helped ...me create a shareholder agreement contract with the correct wording and points that were acceptable to me.

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.
