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.

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.

Director

Jonathan has been my counselor for most of my career in Wall Street, dating back over 20 years. He is the lawyer that you want when you need someone to give you confidence. He will calm the storm, prepare you for your next move, and help you obtain a favorable outcome. He has helped me secure better ...packages entering and exiting. He is a valuable asset in my defense arsenal and over the years, he has become a friend that I trust and depend on.

Family Office

Would not have been able to renegotiate my severance package without him. He was able to move the needle which I was unable to do on my own. He has years of experience and credibility with top employment law firms in NYC. If you think you have received an unfair separation / severance agreement fro...m your employer, you should definitely reach out to Jonathan. I would definitely and have already recommended him to friends, former colleagues.

Top Employment Lawyer in NYC!

Jonathan was referred to me by a friend for a severance dispute and I could not have been more happy with his work. He cares deeply about getting fair settlements for his clients and is not afraid to take on intimidating corporate lawyers. His years of experience gave me confidence in his ability to... handle my case and we were victorious!!!

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.

Incredible Support

Although i was located in a country with 7 hour time difference, and contacted Jonathan just before Christmas, he was extraordinarily efficient and available to me at all times. Even through the holidays, whilst he travelled with his family, we spoke and mailed regularly. His ability to combine empa...thy and reassurance with laser sharp diagnosis and forceful strategy made me feel both heard, and secure in the knowledge that we were following the best route in an extremely stressful situation. The case was resolved within just a couple of weeks and I can't recommend Jonathan highly enough for his experience, professionalism, commitment and formidable performance.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
