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.

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.

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.

Smart and Hard Working Attorney

Jonathan Sack was fantastic, he got me a nice settlement for a situation that took place a long time ago, which isn't easy to do. He knows his business cold and works extremely hard for his clients. I would recommend Mr.Sack to anyone looking for a hard working and knowledgeable attorney.

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.

Outstanding Employment Attorney

I highly recommend you hire Jonathan Sack to handle any challenging legal issues you may face in the workplace. I sought Jonathan’s help on a severance agreement with a former employer following a traumatizing experience at work. Johnathan negotiated with the employer using the utmost discretion to o...btain the best settlement possible. Most importantly of all you can completely trust that he will place your best interests first when providing his legal advice.

Senior Level Ecommerce Executive

Jonathan extricated me from a burdensome non-compete that my former employer was standing firm to hold me to. I am a single parent with two children in college, this situation was threatening my ability to support my family, not only did Jonathan not charge me a fee, he managed to negotiate a GREATLY... reduced non-compete period. I was very impressed by how my former and present employers, both major global organizations, respected Jonathan, followed his lead, and came to an extremely fair agreement orchestrated by him.

Highly intelligent, gifted, first-rate, consummate, brilliant....

These are some of the words that come to mind when describing Jonathan Sack. You do not need to search for anyone else, and I can not stress that enough. Personally, I feel we live in a great world. Unfortunately, it is not without bad people and bad employers, but if there were no bad people or b...ad employers, we wouldn’t need AMAZING attorneys. I was referred to Jonathan Sack due to a retaliation claim with a large banking/investment firm. He was able to exit me with a very generous severance, something I would never have been able to achieve on my own. He handled the entire situation swiftly and decisively. He knew what was happening before it actually happened. His understanding of employment law, and his ability to put words to paper is uncanny and persuasively intimidating. This man protected my income, future, reputation, and most importantly, my life. His work ethic, vernacular and passion for what he does could restore any persons hope in law and even humanity. He genuinely cares, and this became more evident as our relationship progressed. If something, anything with your current employer seems unfair, or unjust, do yourself a favor, call him. Companies should be held accountable and there is no one better then Jonathan Sack. Truly Thankful.

  • 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.
