37 years | 5,000 cases

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.

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.

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.

Highly Recommend

Jonathan represented me in a very long process that required a lot of patience to get the best outcome. It was frustrating many times how long things were taking and the process but at the end of the day Jonathan had the play book. We not only got a tremendous result but he knew how to navigate eve...ry aspect especially when it came to the end. Put mildly you wouldn't want to be on the other side of the table.

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.

Jonathan Sack delivers !

I engaged Jonathan and his team to assist with an age and gender discrimination situation at my former firm. Jonathan was responsive and supportive. He was with me every step of the way, and were ultimately vindicated. Jonathan is a straight shooter. He brings decades of experience to the table. ... I am thankful that he was on my team and I highly recommend him.

Got it done

Jonathan was very receptive and responsive. Moved the case forward and kept me posted every step of the way. Answered e-mails and phone calls promptly. Received a settlement without the hassle of the court.

The Lawyer EVERYONE should have!!!

I had an issue come up and was given Jonathan's number. I gave him a call and he immediately got to work (even though he was out of the office). We setup some time to meet in his office, discussed what was going on, and from that point forward he not only worked his magic, but was able to explain w...hat might happen, what would happen, and what options we should think about before they happened. There was a never a point during my situation where I felt lost or on the road to defeat. Everything that Jonathan told me he would try to recover for me he did. Between Communication, Responsiveness, and helpfulness... this is the lawyer everyone should have on their side!!!!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
