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.

Severance Agreement

This is the second time in my career in which Johnathan has navigated me through challenging situations. The first time was untangling me from a non-compete agreement to accept a new role. Most recently, Jonathan guided me through achieving a mutually agreeable separation from an extremely difficult... organization to negotiate with. Johnathan earns the respect of opposing teams and gives his clients confidence and ease in unsettling situations. Johnathan will not steer you wrong. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Consulted with Twice

I have consulted with Jon twice about 2 different employment situations. His advice was invaluable and helped me through a difficult negotiation both times. He detailed all of my options and possible outcomes and gave advice that was clearly in my best interests. Both times, the outcome was better th...an I could have gotten on my own and Jon's advice was what was best for me and my situation. Highly reccomend.

Wrongful Dismissal

Contacted to help negotiate my severance package and he was patient and knowledgeable through a very nerve racking time for me. Would highly recommend Jonathan

Managing Director

If you need an employment lawyer Jonathan is the ONLY lawyer to call. He is the perfect balance of absolutely straight forward, fights like heck for you and he truly cares. I would recommend him to anyone with a discrimination or employment case. Calling him was the smartest thing I did when I felt I... needed to consult with a lawyer. He cares until the end and beyond as he keeps your case on course to make things right.

  • 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.
