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.

The best call to make!

I am one of those people who never thought they would ever need an employment lawyer...that is until the day I did. I called Jonathan the night of my dismissal and after speaking, I instantly had peace of mind, inner strength and direction for what I knew would be a not so pleasant road ahead. Jonath...an strongly negotiated on my behalf until we reached an agreement. I highly recommend Jonathan to anyone that needs his services. From that first phone call, I knew that I made the right choice and he would be my voice and fight for what was fair and deserved.

Excellent attorney

Jonathan is a top notch, action oriented, responsive attorney. During the separation with my employer, not only did he provide insightful advice, he really listened to figure out what his main argument points would be and then executed on getting the best deal possible. I would highly recommend Jonat...han as he is in the client’s corner every step of the way, using his strong track record and experience to get the best possible outcome.

Great insight and very helpful.

Jonathan made himself readily available for me. He was direct and gave me the guidance I needed. His experience makes his advice very relevant. He was always polite and responsive.

Director

I’m grateful for Jonathan’s expertise as he helped me negotiate a contract with my employer. Jonathan was straightforward, thoughtful and bullish about getting me what I deserved. I would highly recommend Jonathan and will seek his counsel again.

Incredibly Helpful

I had the pleasure of consulting with Mr. Sack regarding a tough employment issue. He was kind enough to listen to my situation in detail and fully explain to me the legalities and all of my options. Even though my case could not be brought to litigation, Mr. Sack advised me on how to proceed. I h...ighly recommend anybody that needs assistance in the area of employment law to seek counsel with Mr. Sack. He is very personable, truly eager to help people and clearly knows the law and will do what he can to get you what you deserve. I can’t thank him enough for his help.

  • 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.
