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.

Breastfeeding/maternity discrimination case

I contacted Jonathan the day after (and the day before Xmas eve) I got fired from my job in finance about 6 weeks after I returned from my maternity leave. I was berated when I told my employer I was pregnant. Was asked why I didn't tell them when they had interviewed me. My bosses first response... was shaking his head and cursing at me. I had access to a room to pump in that was also a full bathroom. I was constantly interrupted by people wanting to use the private bathroom rather than the public one and was written up by HR when I scolded the office manager for letting a man take a shower at my scheduled pumping time. That being said I needed someone to tell me I was going the right direction when exploring the idea of bringing a lawsuit against them. Jonathan called me while he was sitting on an airplane taking a trip with his family and assured me to trust him and that I had a case. Him and his team always responded to my emails and spoke to me about my case and eased my worries. I am so glad I trusted his judgement and let him take the lead. I ended up with a lot more money than what they offered to me. It's not easy to get the courage for a pregnancy discrimination case like this and I would chose Jonathan if I had to do it again.

Reliable counsel for years

The first time I went to Jonathan Sack, I was pregnant and my employer was threatening to fire me. Jonathan wrote a letter to my employer on his letterhead, and that was the end of the threats; my job was saved. That was 12 years ago. Since then, he is my go to counsel for discrimination and other wo...rkplace issues. Each time I contact him, he responds to my request within a couple of hours, even on the weekends. He is a true professional, and his advice has saved my job (and my sanity) multiple times. I feel safe, and literally in good hands, knowing Jonathan Sack is taking care of me.

Gender Discrimination

I highly recommend Jonathan Sack as an employment lawyer. I hired Jonathan to help me when I was faced with gender discrimination issues at a wall street firm. Jonathan pressed hard to get me paid in line with my male peers and successfully negotiated a handsome settlement package for me. Througho...ut the process, Jonathan gave me sound advice and guidance. He also made sure to check in on me throughout the process to make sure I was not being mistreated in the workplace or being retaliated against in any way once the complaint was submitted. Jonathan is articulate and thinks fast on his feet and can stand up to the biggest of bully employers. Jonathan will be my employment lawyer of choice for the balance of my career and highly recommend him to others as well.

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.
