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

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.

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.

Jonathan was direct and thorough during the whole process of filing and arbitration. He was available to discuss concerns and issues whenever I needed him. He put my mind at ease and explained clearly what would be happening. Jonathan and Michael Mui did an excellent job in representing me and making... things right after my former employer did not honor a contract. He would be my only choice if I needed an attorney again.

Smart, to the point, gets it done.

Jonathan was able to cut through a nuanced employment dispute to quickly get to the essence. He was aggressive, yet fair-minded, reasonable, and restrained when leading the negotiation. Before choosing Sack & Sack, I interviewed a number of high-profile attorneys and heard out their proposed stra...tegies. Jonathan's was the most direct, yet also showed the most thorough understanding of the situation and our potential levers. I believed from the start that his would be the best approach. Each stage of communication with my former employer gave me more confidence in Jonathan's understanding and ability. We reached a satisfactory settlement quite quickly. Jonathan may be a bit forceful, and can be hard to reach - but he's incredibly busy for good reason. I would recommend him without hesitation, and would gladly work with him again.

Great advice

I know that Jon and his team were working for me and with me. We spent almost 3 years and eventually settled. I always felt that Jon and Michael Mui had my best interests at heart and I was very satisfied with their performance.

Amazing Advocate to have on your side

Jonathan is extremely knowledgeable, fierce, straight forward, and compassionate. He is definitely the advocate you need when you are being discriminated by your employer. Jonathan made sure the timing was right before pulling the trigger on my case. He made sure I was emotionally and financially ...sound before going after my employer. He was my attorney and friend throughout my entire ordeal. I was happy with my outcome and would recommend him to others. Thank you Jonathan.

Confidence boost

Jonathan advised me through the negotiation of a structurally complicated situation. Gave valuable advice on negotiating, which in the end came to a resolution for which he did not need to get involved directly and for which he only charged a small fee to review the agreements. Yes, he can be very to... the point and sometimes hard to reach ... but able to read a situation very well, is efficient and honorable.

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.
