Kevin Mintzer: Exceptional Employment and Discrimination Lawyer

Although the circumstances that brought me to Kevin Mintzer's office were deplorable, I lucked out in retaining such a thoughtful, but tough, lawyer. For over two years, Mintzer represented me in a sexual harassment and discrimination case and his professionalism, responsiveness and sensitivity ma...de me feel very comfortable in an otherwise uncomfortable situation. This includes speaking with investigators, law enforcement, the media and more. I never wondered whether he had my best interest at heart; he took my personal circumstances into account and fought hard. Thanks to him, we were able to come to a satisfactory resolution as a result of mediation.

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.

Review for Atty. Kevin MIntzer in

Kevin Mintzer had extensive knowledge on my particular type of discrimination case. He also had background knowledge on the company involved. . He was quick to respond to my initial inquiry and continued that swift response to all my queries and concerns during my case,.which by the way was resolve...d to my satisfaction. I think he was reasonable in his dealings with both parties, firm but accurate. I felt at all times that he had my best interests at heart, tempered with reason and good sense. His sincerity and trustworthiness were without question. I would not hesitate to recommend him, in fact, I have done so. One added fillip, he was kind in his dealings with me.
