Overturned Unemployment Benefits Denial

Bruce helped me overturn my denial of unemployment benefits. I was in a horrible work separation dispute and the way he worded his questions and confronted my employer made me feel supported. Though it was difficult to communicate in the beginning, I would certainly recommend Matzkin law.

Second Time !!

I highly recommend Bruce Matzkin Law LLC. Last year, Bruce helped me after I was unexpectedly displaced from my job, and he did an outstanding job negotiating a compensation package on my behalf. More recently, I ran into an issue with an insurance company claiming I owed money from my settlement ...funds. Once again, Bruce stepped in, quickly resolved the misunderstanding, and protected my interests. Bruce is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly cares about his clients. I can't thank him enough for all of his help. Thank you Bruce!

Great attorney to work with!

Bruce was amazing to work with and I could not have asked for better representation to handle my employment situation. From the first phone call, Bruce was willing to listen to my million and one questions and answered them thoroughly and calmly. His fee is very reasonable and he was always receptive... to my calls/emails. I highly recommend Bruce if you're looking for an attorney that's going to go to bat for you and treat you with respect!

Positive Outcome

Bruce Matzkin provided excellent guidance throughout my severance negotiation and demonstrated a strong command of employment law. He was professional, responsive, and took the time to clearly explain each step of the process. I would confidently recommend him to anyone seeking skilled representation... in employment matters.

Helpful and successful

Bruce was very helpful and successfully represented me in an unemployment payments appeal. Speaking with him helped me prepare for the hearing and present my case in a favorable way.
