Hands down the best law firm for labor disputes in NYC. Being in the restaurant industry for more than 30 years I can say that this law firm is the number one choice for workers in the restaurant business that need to sue their company for wrongful termination. A special compliment to my lawyer Brittany Stevens.. An amazing person and well prepared experienced lawyer. She was professional and empathetic to my case and worked in a time appropriate manner. She never miss a phone call at any hour of the day.The other associates that assisted Brittany were Yusha Hiraman, Eugenio Benvenuto, Kevin Guaranda and Katerina Housos. They were all professional and answered any questions or concerns that I had. Brittany and her team helped me with what I needed, when I needed it. I want to thank them all (especially Brittany), for a job well done!!!

Appreciation of Josh and Dorina
No one wishes upon themselves to be in a situation where they need to take action against discrimination in the workplace, however, I was unfortunately placed in that position. It was not an easy decision to take action against my employers but it was necessary in order to combat injustice within their corporate system. After making the decision to hire WIlliam K. Phillips Law Firm I was blessed to be placed with Josh Frank. My first face to face meeting with Josh solidified his position as my attorney. His calm yet powerful demeanor made me confident that I was in the right hands emotionally and professionally. Josh was so down to earth, authentic, and focused in getting the task done. Josh was diligent in obtaining all the information necessary to make us ready for the journey ahead and was always honest about some of the road bumps we faced along the way. Through it all, he was the perfect attorney I could ask for and he was amazingly cool at the same time. To make the experience even more of a blessing I had the pleasure of working with Dorina Cela. She is the most authentic, beautiful/vibrant spirited, and kindhearted person I could have asked for while being in this circumstance. We connected and she was the icing on the cake to making the Josh and Dorina team something special. I have nothing but positive to say about both Josh and Dorina and regardless to the outcome of the case, the arduous journey was made so much smoother having a genuine team who came to work for my best interest. Thank you Josh and Dorina. You both already have heard how I felt about you too along the journey, but now that the journey is closed I cannot thank you enough for assisting me in combating injustice. It was not a easy battle and certain things were fabricated by the other party, we did all we could and I am happy to have done it all with you. Wishing you well in all your endeavors and I would recommend both Josh and Dorina in a heartbeat. As their hearts still beat even in the cold corporate environment of a court room.

Amazing team
They put compassion and equity into the justice system and helped win me against a firm that relied on its affluence to prevent people from filing. They were loyal, persistent, resourceful, and they wrote an outstanding brief. My personal attorney, Marjory Mesidor, dealt with me at my most despondent with care and knowledge. I have recommended them to others.

Throughout the entire case; Mr. Phillips' office was courteous, professional and very knowledgeable about what was needed. My case was handled very swiftly and they fought very hard to get me a reasonable but acceptable settlement. I would highly recommend this law firm. I have given their name and telephone number to family friends. they have been very supportive and made themselves available to answer all questions, I had relating to the case.

Thank you William!
Two years ago I was pushed out of a company after facing sexual harassment. I've never dealt with such an issue before so I wasn't sure what my legal rights were and I felt very uncomfortable discussing the situation with anyone. Luckily for me I've decided to call William for professional legal advice. William and his assistant, Jessenia Maldonado, were very understanding and helpful. They handled everything, reduced my stress, provided me with professional legal defense and I was able to reach settlement. I highly recommend William and his firm for legal services.

Great Representation by my lawyer.
My lawyer was outstanding in representing my case. I was in loop as how the case was going at all time and had many talks over the nine months period. My opinions and suggestions mattered and was pleased with the outcome.
