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

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.

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 termination 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.

Severance help

Ian was very helpful in helping me to negotiate the departure from my place of long-time employment. He was comprehensive yet concise, and expertly balanced firm recommendations with respect for my own instincts. He was very responsive, and also clear with his billing and accounting of his time. With his guidance, I secured the severance I wanted and deserved, which was much higher than the original offer I received. I recommend him highly!

Lawyer with a heart

Met him over 8 years ago, advocating rigouresly for his client. When I later needed a lawyer, he represented me with the same drive and passion I had seen in him many years ago. He truly believes in what he does and is the most ethical person I have met.

Law Offices of Ian Wallace, PLLC

Ian Wallace is a brilliant lawyer. I was impressed with the way he handled my dispute but even more impressed with his responsiveness. He always made himself available and if he was not available, I always received a prompt return phone call. Being involved in a labor dispute can be very stressful and emotional. Besides being extremely knowledgeable, honest, and professional, he was also truly empathetic which is rare. Words fail to describe how grateful I am for his help in finally ending this nightmare. I highly recommend the Law Offices of Ian Wallace if you have any legal matters regarding your employment. You will be in good hands.

Endorse Ian

Anne Bush

Employment and labor Attorney | May 20
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."

Stephen Bergstein

Discrimination Attorney | 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."
