The "Go To" Employment Lawyer w/Knowledge, Professionalism & Compassion

Although my circumstances that brought me to Mr. Mintzer were devastating for me, talking to him eased my worries drastically! I came to Mr. Mintzer involved w/sexual harassment case feeling overwhelmed, apprehensive and just down right confused. Mr. Mintzer was patient & listened to me intently in... a judge free zone. He was intuitive & kept me involved in every aspect of my case & anything he was unsure or unclear of, he took the time to find the right answers & not just take short cuts. Much like finding a good doctor, it isn't easy to find a lawyer to retain who you can put your confidence & trust in but Mr. Mintzer showed me he was human first....I would definitely use Mr. Mintzer again & refer him to anyone seeking a thorough attorney to handle their employment case.

The Go-to Employment Lawyer for Professionals

I highly recommend Kevin Mintzer in all employment-related disputes with current or former employers. Kevin understand the merits of your case, and the strategy to be used, from your first meeting. I found Kevin's ability to summarize the merits of my case and my negotiating position at the pre-EEO...C, EEOC, and trial court levels prepared me for the stressful time surrounding an employee-employer lawsuit. I chose Kevin as an attorney because of his established and successful practice in representing professional women- namely executives, women in finance and women in the law. He understands how to negotiate with those representing the employer in such industries and that is key. I never felt helpless, or unsure of anything during my dispute. Kevin timely negotiated the deal I was hoping for and kept me grounded and confident in my case throughout. I highly recommend Mr. Mintzer and I am grateful he took my case.

Review of Attorney Kevin Mintzer

I contacted Kevin concerning a sexual harassment situation at work. He responded to my inquiry very quickly, and after speaking with him and several others attorneys, I chose to retain him because I felt that he was very sharp, knowledgeable, and experienced. Throughout our negotiations with my com...pany, he always provided a quick response to any questions I had, kept me informed of what was going on from day to day, and kept checking in on me to make sure everything was okay. I felt that he was with me every step of the way, and I'm very happy with the outcome of the situation.

Best Wall Street employment and discrimination lawyer

I lost my Wall Street employment in a gender discrimination case a couple of years ago. I was lucky that Kevin got recommended by a friend who went through a similar situation and spoke of Kevin as the best employment lawyer in New York. Kevin is highly strategic and extremely knowledgeable of empl...oyment laws. He made sure he understood my case and clearly described to me the available options making sure that he took my personal needs and circumstances into account. Kevin was always available to offer his advice and support. In this highly stressful and difficult situation this proved to be extremely valuable. Under his guidance I was able to resolve my gender discrimination case favorably. It felt really great to experience that the Wall Street Boys cannot get away with bad behavior anymore!

Review of Kevin Mintzer

After 15 years at the same place of employment my position was outsourced. I did not believe the package offered was commensurate with the time spent and the money earned for the organization. I hired Mr. Mintzer to represent me. We were able to resolve the issue after a period of time. During ...the time Mr. Mintzer represented me I found him to be the consummate professional. He was always available to ask questions and strategize with. He laid the options out and the pros and cons of each action. He negotiated a new package that we both thought was fair and equitable. I highly recommend Mr. Mintzer for any employment labor issue.

  • 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.
