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.

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.

Got Me a Great Outcome!

I hired Jonathan to help with a case against my employer. I was very distressed and emotional about my situation, but Jonathan made it clear that the facts were on my side and he was there to help me. I believe his reputation forced my employer to take me and my situation more seriously. He ended up ...getting me more money than I would have gotten on my own, and almost always responded extremely quickly and made himself available to speak the same day. He communicates very directly, as most lawyers do. I would recommend Jonathan if you need a fierce attorney on your side!

Jonathan Sack delivers !

I engaged Jonathan and his team to assist with an age and gender discrimination situation at my former firm. Jonathan was responsive and supportive. He was with me every step of the way, and were ultimately vindicated. Jonathan is a straight shooter. He brings decades of experience to the table. ... I am thankful that he was on my team and I highly recommend him.

Immediately (within 10 minutes) fixed a very serious issue for me!

I was put in touch with Jonathan after my previous firm threatened me with legal action regarding a contract policy. Jonathan immediately jumped on the case and had an email prepared within minutes to address the firm's issues. His email was clear, concise, and got the message across. He believed the... firm had no legal leg to stand on. My former firm called Jonathan within 5 minutes and agreed to drop the threat. By the end of the conversation it was very collegial and peace prevailed. I would recommend Jonathan for ANY employment related issues. He is extremely interactive and resolves issues quickly and quietly. Thank you Jonathan!

  • 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.
