Amazing attorney, very astute and professional!

Jon Green was an amazing advocate and a true gentleman in handling every aspect of my case. He was astute, thorough, compassionate and expedient and I would hire and recommend him and his firm for any of your wrongful termination case needs!

Age Discrimination Case

Jon Green is a consummate high integrity legal professional who not only knows New Jersey employment law but knows how it works and how to work it. He is relentless and tenacious in his pursuit of justice for his client. He’s fearless and will consistently fight to get a fair settlement for you. H...e doesn’t back down. He’s a client-oriented attorney who listens carefully to his client so that he fully understands the case details and what your objectives are. If he doesn’t know or understand something you’ve said, he’ll ask you to explain further. He doesn’t assume anything. He’s very detail oriented. Jon will be fully engaged in your case and is best described as “all in” once the wheels of justice begin to turn. Jon also will tell you what you need to know not what you want to hear. He’ll give you the good news and the bad news. As the case twists and turns, Jon takes the time to explain it to you so you understand it and what ramifications it has for your case. Jon works with the client collaborating on strategies and next steps. I was referred to Jon by a corporate labor attorney who recommended Jon because “Jon has a game plan”. Once Jon knows all the details of your case he definitely will have a game plan. That said, he is open to the client’s opinions and is willing to take a different path that the client suggests if it makes sense and is beneficial to the case. Jon was always accessible and his staff and other partners were very helpful. After three and a half years the case was settled out of court and it was a very positive outcome. In my opinion, you couldn’t have a better employee rights attorney fighting for you than Jon Green. TS

Expert whistleblower attorney

Jon represented me as a whistleblower against a former employer. He worked with me for over three years and negotiated a settlement that I am happy with. Jon’s knowledge of employment law, coupled with his many years of experience never ceased to amaze me. He always took my calls and answered my ques...tions, patiently educating me on how the law works. What you want from your case and what you can realistically achieve with the evidence you have is something that Jon understands well. Jon is open-minded, he will listen to your suggestions and will work with you to give you the best chance of success. Jon has seen it, done it and he draws on his own experiences over his long career to provide the “battle plan” for your case. The proof is in the results and I can truly say that Jon delivered for me. We spent a long time together working on my case. If you hire Jon, you will gain the benefit of his experience, a brilliant legal advocate and also a friend. I will miss him. Thank you again, Jon.

One of the major rewards of doing this work is getting to know people from different walks of life. I believe that it is necessary to get to know the person I am representing as an individual and not just someone who suffered at the hands of their employer. When getting to know someone during my representation of them, it helps me to be a better person and a better lawyer not only for the individual(s) I am representing but for my other clients as well. I am touched that this client will miss me and I feel the same about him and many other clients as well. Thank you for this review. It means a lot.

Exceptional experience

Jon came highly recommended to me through one of his colleagues. As soon as we started talking he knew exactly what the main crux of my case should be and how it should be handled. He and his staff were in constant communication throughout the whole process. They never left a question unans...wered. They worked patiently to make sure that I received a just and fair end to my case. His empathy for my situation was more than I could have asked for. Workplace situations are very delicate and emotional. Jon struck the great balance between being firm with me, keeping me focused and having the right sense of humor! There is no doubt that he is the leader in his field, his expertise is exceptional. I would, without any hesitation recommend Jon and his firm.

Excellent, Professional, Forceful Advocate

After experiencing a wrongful termination and feeling beat up, alone and helpless, I interviewed many attorney's before finding Jon. After meeting Jon, I knew he was the one to get it done. Jon asked the right questions and could see through the lies. He was always available to take my calls, a...nd he and his amazing staff always made me feel like my case was important and it was their priority. Jon was more than an attorney. He was my advocate, a sounding board, a shoulder to lean on and he kept me grounded through the entire process. It was a horrible time in my life, but having Jon by my side, I never felt alone as he gave me the guidance and support I needed to persevere to a great outcome.
