This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

One of the best! Look no further!

As a senior woman in finance, unfortunately I've had to consult employment law attorneys on a few occasions. I was referred to Jonathan by two reputed attorneys in a retaliation and discrimination matter. I needed a second opinion. Jonathan was absolutely fantastic - he quickly grasped my complex cas...e facts well, gave me a detailed overview of my options, is very knowledgeable about the law and the legal steps involved. He is very good at helping form an actionable strategy in an informed way. He has great reputation among senior attorneys in the know. He responds promptly via call or email. More than anything among all the attorneys I had retained or consulted, he was exceptionally empathetic towards me. He made me feel cared for as a client, helped me deal with the unfair situation emotionally. Legal processes are draining, he was a beacon of light at a dark hour. I dealt with my employer and previously retained attorney with more confidence thanks to his advice. I hope I don't need legal advice again but I know whom I'm coming to if I do, esp against a large financial services firm.

Responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful

I was referred to Jonathan earlier this summer when I began to run into some challenging work related concerns. Jonathan was very responsive and offered me effective tips to begin navigating my situation. Jonathan's advice gave me the guidance to navigate an increasingly stressful situation. Then, la...ter in September, when my issue with my employer came to a head, I reengaged with Jonathan. Jonathan was responsive, creative, and gave me his informed evaluation of my situation and leverage. His evaluation and guidance empowered me to confidently handle the situation very well on my own. Throughout my career, I have worked with three employment attorneys but I will no longer need to search further. Hopefully, because I won't have any more work related challenges, but also because I'm so happy with the guidance and outcomes that Jonathan delivers. I strongly recommend Jonathan as an effective advocate for employees involved with or at risk of dealing with employer-related disputes.

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.
