About Russell
Biography
After years of working for well-respected national and regional firms, I established my own firm focusing exclusively on labor and employment law. My areas of concentration include, for example:
(a) wrongful termination / employment discrimination (including sexual harassment and retaliation claims);
(b) wage claims (e.g., unpaid wages, overtime, exempt vs. non-exempt status, independent contractor issues, etc.);
(c) non-competition and non-solicitation agreements;
(d) executive departures and severance agreements;
(e) whistleblower laws; and
(f) providing advice and counsel with regard to a diverse array of employment issues such as workplace policies and procedures, general labor law compliance, leaves of absence and discipline and termination issues.

Thumbs Up for a Business-Minded Attorney
Russ has worked with me in a variety of capacities. First on a contentious settlement between business partners, then on various employment related issues.

Russ beat me, then I hired him.
I am not an attorney but i opposed Russ on an issue and was so impressed with the way he handled his client, me and the issue i started using Russ in non-conflict cases. Easy to work with, easy to talk to, very knowledgable and firm when needed.

Russell E. Adler's Lawyer Endorsements
"Russell and I worked as adversaries on a non-compete matter. I was thoroughly impressed with his professionalism and commitment to resolving the situation as effectively as possible. He is level headed, intelligent, and a strong advocate for his clients."
"Russell is a deeply experienced attorney in the areas of employment and labor law. His savvy, skill and dedication to his clients have earned him the respect of his peers and the gratitude of his clients. Anytime I encounter people with employment or labor legal issues, I can enthusiastically and confidently refer them to Russell with the knowledge that they will receive top-notch representation."
"In the two years I have known Russell, I have learned that he is an experienced, practical, and intelligent attorney. His writing indicates his ability to convey his message simply, but effectively. When speaking, he carries an element of charisma and charm, whether he is speaking to opposing counsel in a matter or to a client, such that his arguments and position undoubtedly have merit. Above all else, Russell has shown careful regard for his ancillary - but important - position as an officer of the court with respect to ethics and professional responsibility. He never waivers in the face of doing the right thing. For those reasons, I wholeheartedly endorse Russell Adler as an experienced labor & employment law attorney."
