Quick and Effective

Bruce worked quickly and effectively to better my severance package. I’m grateful for his help and him answering my questions along the way!

Professional, Responsive & Knowledgeable

Highly recommend. Attorney Matzkin was professional, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable while helping me with an employment separation and DUA hearing. They prepared me thoroughly, explained everything clearly, and provided steady guidance during a stressful process. I felt confident and support...ed every step of the way.

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.

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.
