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.

Horrible

The more I dealt with Jonathan I realized he probably didn't even have a file for my case and he was totally I neffective. His legal advice changed vs what he had previously told me. His personality is aggressive. Seek other lawyers who will represent your interest and care.

Bad lawyer, Worse results

You get what you pay for. And in this case, I got zero. Too bad I had to write the entire draft complaint myself with no help from Jonathan’s staff.

Big talker with no FOLLOWUP

Jonathan loves to talk but didn’t ever learn how to listen, shouting rapid fire questions like some big shot making me feel so little. I only heard from him one time and then passed down to his young henchmen. I think the reviews on this website are probably FAKE and written by Jonathan! There is no ...way so many people write positive things about this arrogant, little man. I looked him up and looks like his wifey has all the money. Where is my call back Jonathan??? Your time is not so much more valuable then everyone else’s.

The same person who cannot imagine why they were fired for legitimate business reasons now finds rejection difficult to fathom. We are duty bound to decline representation of baseless claims. We simply cannot take on matters and pursue cases where there is no merit in either the facts or the law applicable to one's circumstance.

Very disappointing conversation

Mr Sack had no interest in my case. He just talked about himself the entire (very short) conversation. Comes off as very arrogant but not very smart - seems like a lot of big talk and little action. Had to reschedule repeatedly too!

I have a paramount interest in all calls to my office. I consider each inquiry as it is my first, last and only call. This caller had no case. I declined to pursue this person's matter. Nonetheless, I offered guidance and suggestions. During an initial, no cost consultation, I always make point to introduce myself and describe my background and experience. If one cares to follow-up, I am always willing to listen to new facts and circumstances which may change my initial opinion.

AVOID!!!!!! TOTAL HACK!

I wish that I could give him ZERO stars. All bark and no bite. Total unprofessional, would cancel appointments while I was on the subway on my way to his office. He pawns you off on junior lawyers in the office as he's too busy vacationing around the world. Does not stick to deadlines and makes y...ou CHASE after him for answers. He is rude, dishonest, and unprofessional. All talk. Be promised big compensation and delivered NOTHING. Wish that I could get that time back and scrub him from my memory.

  • 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.
