Practice Areas

Employment and Labor 50%

We consult with, advise and represent employees and executives in all facets of their employment. Offer letter / contract negotiations, on-the-job counseling, severance negotiations, non-compete and IP issues, whistleblower retaliation & litigation.

37 years | 5,000 cases

50%
Arbitration 20%

FINRA, JAMS and AAA arbitrations are more common now that most employers require employees to consent to adjudicate employment disputes in confidential arbitration forums. We regularly handle client disputes and look forward to handling litigations.

37 years | 200 cases

20%
Litigation 15%

We negotiate / mediate client matters, and when a fair result cannot be obtained, we litigate cases involving non-competes, trade secrets, bonus and deferred compensation, discrimination and wrongful termination in all courts and arbitration forums.

37 years | 400 cases

15%
Discrimination 10%

We handle discrimination cases asserting gender, national origin, race, skin color, age, religion, familial status, disability, retaliation or sexual orientation. You are protected by City, State and Federal Laws. I was a mediator for the EEOC.

37 years | 500 cases

10%
Expungement 5%

We routinely handle the negotiation of U-5s, and we file FINRA Arbitrations to expunge a negative, defamatory, incomplete or false U-5 filing. The U-5 is a minefield, often branding employees as bad actors, impairing one's re-employment prospects.

Exceptional legal advocacy

Jonathan has successfully defended my interests and provided me outstanding guidance on a number of employment matters. His 30+ years in the industry, direct approach and professional demeanor make him an excellent advocate for anyone seeking legal assistance related to employee issues. I unreservedl...y recommend Jonathan.

Fast and efficient

Jonathan helped me settle with my previous employer. He was fast, direct and efficient. From what I saw his experience in my field of work allowed him to settle my case as smoothly as possible. His compensation structure was also something that helped me to go into the negotiation process. I have al...ready recommended him to my friends who are seeking legal advice and will continue to do so.

Amazing experience with Jon - Highly Recommend. He will fight for you!

I can't understate how appreciative I am with Jon and his team for his help in my case. I hired Jon to represent me against my long term employer. With Jon's help i was able to win a settlement far beyond what the company offered me and what i could have achieved fighting them on my own. It was also... a very quick process thanks to Jon's expertise and reputation in the industry. He will intimidate the employer who has tried to intimidate you! Other attorneys I spoke to encouraged me to settle - Jon was willing to fight and brought out the fighter in me. We won.
