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.

Straight shooter to TdAmeritrade( A trillion dollar firm) !!

TDAmeritrade restricted my brokerage account all of a sudden without specifying any reason, I was shocked. I emailed to 23 litigation attorneys but no was willing to defend my case with a BIG Trillion dollar Firm like TDAmeritrade. I felt hopeless. My Friend referred me to Jonathan Sack, and he happ...ily looked into the matter, He went deep into my case, drafted a notice quickly and I uploaded the draft into the message center of TDAmeritrade brokerage account. Within 4 hours, Joy Busse TDAmeritrade Resolution Manager from Client Advocacy Team came for the negotiations, I couldn't believe when Jonathan called me that Good News, Manoj . He just saved my lifetime earning which was in my brokerage account. Jonathan is a fearless bull, extremely smart negotiator He's very attentive and takes your case very serious and works hard until your case is resolved.

Top-Notch Lawyer All the Way!

Jonathan Sack was referred to me and my husband by a previous client of his. He came very highly recommended and I can definitely see why. He reviewed a document we requested his feedback on and provided clear, concise advice on how it should be responded to. The consultation was easy going and fr...iendly and he asked questions as well as provided feedback that allowed us to see clearly what the next best steps were. My husband and I are grateful for the recommendation to Jonathan and we will whole-heartily recommend him to others.

Posted by James | December 12, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

Best Lawyer there is for Financial Services related issues!

I was recently wrongfully terminated from a large Investment Bank the week of Thanksgiving and was referred to Jonathan by a friend and could not have been more grateful to have Jonathan on my side. Jonathan and his team diligently worked on my behalf while in the midst of the holiday season to ...not only get the appropriate language on my discharge but to also stand up to this firm and their bogus practices giving me Hope. Sack & Sack truly is the premiere firm that you would want to hire when standing up these large investment banks who think they can just steam roll their employees!!

Value Added!

Jonathan has a tremendous work ethic and fought hard to get the positive results we sought. He’s a great negotiator & I highly recommend him.

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.

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.
