Simply the Best

Ian was referred to me by a friend when I was going through an extremely toxic leaving of a company that I had been at for 17 years. Through patience, extreme kindness and absolute professionalism, Ian was able to assist me in leaving the company with what I deserved. I highly recommend him and hope ...I don’t have to use him again :) but I won’t hesitate to use him if I have to.

More than happy

Mr Ian Wallace came recommend to me via a close associate due to needing support through a recent termination. I'm happy to share that Mr Wallace assisted me through this unsettling event which at times could be both emotional & stressful. He was always approachable, understanding and kept me well ...informed of options. Always available and able to answer my many questions & concerns, the result ending positively due to his forbearance. I would indeed recommend Mr Wallace for legal matters and I would turn to him again in the future should I require the support. Thank you

Outstanding Lawyer

One of the best attorneys I have retained to address some of the most complex and thorny issues I have had to face. Communicates extremely well and has his client's best interest at heart. Compassionate, diligent, hard working, and obtains results.

An EXPERT in Employment Litigation

I met Mr. Wallace in a social setting in 2012 where I learned he practiced employment litigation. In my opinion, he's an EXPERT. Having been declined by several attorneys who didn't think my case was strong enough to represent, Mr. Wallace took on my case of on-the-job discrimination and wrongful t...ermination with gusto and heart. Within weeks he drafted a complaint which was so strong that my former employer settled almost immediately. Well worth his share, I found Mr. Wallace to be efficient, thorough, sympathetic, an excellent listener, and a poignant writer. I would use his services again and refer other challenged plaintiffs to him in a heartbeat.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Ian on many occasions and I have been impressed with his work ethic and commitment to his clients. He recently won an employment discrimination trial in the Bronx, and the jury awarded his client over $7 million in damages."

Discrimination lawyer | May 09

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have worked with Ian on a case for which he was trial counsel and won an excellent verdict for an employment discrimination plaintiff. Ian tried the case on his own. The trial lasted 22 days, and he was up against an aggressive lawyer representing management. Reviewing the transcript, I was extremely impressed with Ian's trial skills. And, of course, the large verdict speaks for itself. There are few tasks more difficult in the practice of law than trying a case before a jury. From what I saw, Ian mastered it. I wholeheartedly endorse Ian for litigation."

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.
