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.

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.

Successful discrimination claim against large financial services firm

Represented me against my former employer (a large bank) in a retaliation and discrimination claim. Quietly resolved the matter by negotiating a very generous severance package representing multiple years of my annual compensation. Very knowledgeable and capable attorney. Developed and executed a re...sult-oriented strategy that yielded quick and confidential results

Provided a boost to my confidence at a trying time in my career

Jonathan was recommended to me in the midst of a crisis in my career and provided me with the confident coaching I needed to effectively negotiate a generous exit package with my employer. While he was eager to negotiate on my behalf, he respected my desire to first attempt negotiating on my own wit...h his guidance and it worked. If you are facing an unfamiliar uphill battle with your employer, I highly recommend getting Jonathan behind you to ensure you are educated on what is reasonable to demand and feasible to achieve.

Posted by Heather | May 12, 2018 | Divorce & Separation

Very constructive, focused and helpful consultation

In 10 minutes, Jonathan was able to answer legal questions that had been nagging me for weeks about terms of my separation agreement. He understands the legal and human aspects of employment law and is very practical about nuances in agreements. If I had a bigger issue, I would absolutely go back t...o him. Highly recommend him.

"Who you gonna call?"

I have been in finance for over 35 years and this was my first dispute/litigation/arbitration. Jonathan was about as professional as I have seen anyone. He asked the right questions, designed a clear, effective game plan and then executed very well. He becomes emotionally vested in his cases and h...is passion shows it. Technically, I was very impressed with his knowledge on how the law works and how it is pragmatically implemented. I hope I don't need to use Jonathan again, but if I do, he will be my first and only call.

  • 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.
