Excellent Lawyer- Physician Employment Contract
I am extremely pleased with the results I achieved working with Granovsky & Sundaresh PLLC for my physician employment agreement. The results were beyond my imagination! Not only that, Alex Granovsky was available, responsive, knowledgeable, and skillful throughout the entire process. He took the time to go over the entire contract with me and answered all my questions. He was patient, thoughtful, and attentive to my concerns. He strategically helped me to negotiate the terms of the contract to achieve my desired outcomes. I highly recommend Granovsky & Sundaresh PLLC for anyone seeking such services. You will not be disappointed!

Great help with a very slow and unproductive employer
Worked with Alex in 2020 to renegotiate my edit terms. He was very knowledgable and helpful. Very prompt answers and managed to negotiate a good deal.

Very helpful!
Alex was great at explaining the legal process and terminology. His experience with employment contracts and institutions was very helpful. His provided the guidance I needed through what was such a long, nebulous situation and then would check on me to make sure that it was going on track. I’m glad that I worked with him.

Terrific lawyer
I have an ongoing issue with my former employer regarding getting properly compensated for my unused PTO....and have spent the last few weeks contacting numerous lawyers for info on my rights/legal council - to no avail. But - I was super fortunate to reach out to Mr. Granovsky through Avvo and he scheduled a call right away to discuss my needs....when we spoke he was refreshingly friendly and direct as well as extremely knowledgeable on all areas of the law regarding my issue! He also made me feel like he understood my work issue from the start and because of this - I would not hesitate to reach out to him again for further legal council if needed....and I highly recommend Mr. Granovsky for your legal needs too!

Very professional, great experience
I hired Alex to help me understand an employment contract. He was very patient with me and took the time to help me understand every aspect of the contract. The best part about working with Alex is his responsiveness with communication and e-mails. I hear horror stories from my friends about lawyers who just disappear and they can't even explain the current status of their situation. Alex kept me updated the whole time and replied to my questions and updates in a timely manner.

Excellent Help For Any Employment Claim
I highly recommend this law firm. As a lawyer myself, I appreciated Alex Granovsky's wealth of knowledge and thoughtful, practical advice in dealing with a relative's wrongful termination claim. Working with him was a bright spot in an otherwise difficult time. I would hire him again in a heartbeat to deal with any employment issue.

Best of The Best!
I cannot rave enough about how great Alex Granovsky and his Law Firm is in regards to being a Employment Law Firm! Alex went to bat for me when another larger National Top Rated Firm, who first were my advocate, started to lose their backbone. I sought out and found Alex, I was very fortunate. I retained Alex and he was a tremendous advocate for me! Alex was able to speak with my previous company regarding my severance agreement and increase my severance amount substantially, better than I ever expected. Alex constantly kept me informed of our status and always let me know where we stood. Alex shared with me where we were all along the process and Alex shared when he believed we were at our best and final opportunity to receive the most favorable agreement possible. I agreed with Alex in totality when the final offer was presented, which I gladly accepted. Without Alex I would have been in a very difficult situation, on my own, without any advocate in my corner. Since then Alex has been valued counsel for reviewing a subsequent employment agreement, ahead of considering another more significant opportunity to move to a new company. Alex has always been available for any concern or question and I feel that I have found my own Employment Law Firm which is my greatest advocate and counsel. You can not do better than Alex Granovsky. Alex is the Best of the Best!
