Highly Recommend

I first reached out to Ethan in Nov 2016 for an employment law matter that required immediate assistance. He responded promptly and was incredibly responsive. I was guided through every aspect of the communications and negotiations with my previous employer. I found Ethan to be extremely knowledge...able about the law. He was straightforward and honest, providing very balanced legal advice. We ultimately got to a very good outcome. I would absolutely recommend Ethan - he is honest and fair and an outstanding attorney.

Ethan was first-rate

Ethan was tough and smart when representing me against a wily, ruthless opponent. We won everything we were seeking, and much more than we expected to win. Ethan knows the law, and he does not let other lawyers push him around.

A shot in the dark becomes a hole in one

Will definitely keep Ethan and his office on for future needs. I approached Ethan on a very short notice, and we understood each other's way of working right away. The outcome was exactly what I looked for and I'm very pleased to have had Ethan along the way. His expertise and direct way of giving in...sight are major pluses that I always hoped for. You just can't go wrong with him.

Excellent choice for employment law

Ethan worked hard to understand my case, which was complex, and helped focus the context around the relevant law and arbitration points. He helped focus the strategy around the myriad details that ended in a successful result.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
