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.

Goog guidance

Getting laid off is like having the lights turned off on you. Mr. Sack was like a flash light - he mapped out my options clearly and detailed pathways towards a reasonable exit, with zero minced words and zero nonsense. It was valuable to have an honest opinion on where I stood legally.

The Best in the Business

After being wrongfully terminated from my employer I interviewed five counselors to represent me. I am very fortunate to have chosen Jonathan. Jonathan was a zealous advocate for my cause and produced impressive results in an efficient manner. The personal touch and care for my situation was unexp...ected. Even after we settled, Jonathan went out of his way to help and advise on career issues. I have worked with many lawyers in my career and I have yet to see one that fights for a client like Jonathan.

Provided Help During a Difficult Exit

Jonathan was recommended to me by a friend when an exit from my employer ended up not going as smoothly as hoped. Jonathan got on the phone with me within hours (on his vacation) and provided consultation. I hired Jonathan, and he was very responsive and helpful. Though we were unable to get as much ...from my former employer as either of us thought was reasonable, Jonathan didn't stop fighting and got me several more months of healthcare. I highly recommend Jonathan if you're facing a battle with your employer; he'll have your back.

You want him on your side

I was terminated from my job at an investment bank, and was treated unfairly. I went to several employment attorneys, and they all refused my case becasue there was no "smoking gun." Jonathan was able to get me what I deserved. His best skill is good-old-fashioned tenacity. You want him on your s...ide. Period.

Didn't handle case properly

Didn't handle case properly. He totally misjudged the situation, which resulted in very poor compensation from an employment termination case.

Some clients have an unrealistic sense of what their case is worth. With a contingency fee arrangement, our interests are aligned with the client's interests. We always try to zealously represent a client to maximize the outcome and achieve the client's goals.

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.
