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.

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.

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.

Executive

Jonathan is fantastic. I used him when I was wrongfully terminated two years ago and again this year. He is more than a lawyer. He is a confidante and an advisor. He gets results because he is thorough but he is also a great sounding board for smaller issues. He is fearless on behalf of his clients. ...I can't recommend him strongly enough to someone who is looking for a lawyer to deal with employment issues, including wrongful termination and severance.

Knowledgeable and Responsive

A contact and previous client referred me to Jonathan Sack. I had a complex separation agreement. Jonathan reviewed the agreement in detail, advised me on my options, and took the time to walk me through everything and answered all my questions. Prior to connecting with Jonathan, the ambiguity and co...mplexity was overwhelming. After speaking with Jonathan, I was confident that I fully understood the agreement I was entering into and left nothing on the table. I would highly recommend hiring Jonathan for any of your employment and labor needs.

kind & responsive

I recently went through a difficult process with my employer that put me in a position where I needed legal representation. Jonathan was suggested to me by a friend who worked with him a few years ago. He was unbelievably helpful and kind throughout the process, taking the time to answer all my quest...ions and validating to the experience I was going through. I would 100% recommend him to anyone going through a severance negotiation.

Partner

I was referred to Jonathan by a friend, and within 30 minutes we'd connected and planned next steps. He was incredibly knowledgeable and generous. He didn't charge me for my consultation and quickly answered my questions and concerns about a new employment agreement. He's an excellent resource for wo...men in finance.

Supportive and empathetic

I was recommended by my friend to meet with Jonathan regarding a work place harassment case. At the time, my employment visa status was in jeopardy and I was facing verbal and sexual harassment from people at the firm. I was in utter despair and urgently needed a legal professional to quickly dissect... the facts and point out priorities. Jonathan did exactly that. He helped me sort through my options and encouraged me to carefully document everything that was happening. He also gave me a realistic estimate of what kind of outcomes I may encounter. His candidness gave me great amount of confidence and energy that helped me navigate the difficult times and I gained strength in my day to day life battling harassment. Later this year, the person in complaint ceased to work at the firm and I also was able to find new employment in a more supportive environment. None of these could have happened had I not come to Jonathan. I recommend speaking with Jonathan regarding labor and employment issues.

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.
